Compiling on Fedora 7 x64

[Syndr]

I am having this problem when I run scons configure on a 64 bit install of Fedora 7. It is acting like I don't have any of the dependencies, but I am positive that I have all of them installed.

Code: Select all

$ scons configure
scons: Reading SConscript files ...

Now configuring.  If something fails, consult `config.log' for details.

Not all tests finished succesfully.  You are probably missing one of the
build dependencies.  See config.log for details.

All of the files it says it can't find are in /usr/include except jni.h, which is at the path it found for java at the top. I also can't see any errors in config.log. Spring 0.75b2 compiled fine in Fedora 6 x64, but it won't in Fedora 7. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks,
Syndr

Could you pastebin the config.log anyway?

[Syndr]

Here is the url. Remove the spaces to view, as I am not allowed hyperlinks.

Please let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

You probably did this, but have you installed the corresponding -devel packages for all of these dependencies? Simply installing the base package doesn't work if you're compiling from source code. Usually, it's something like: packagename-devel or packagename-dev that you need.

[Syndr]

Yes, I am positive that I have all the development packages installed. I know for a fact that I have all of the header files it can't find, and I believe that is what the dev packages mainly provide (that the configure checks for, at least).

I believe I installed all the packages except for sablevm from the repositories, while I had to download most of them manually on Fedora 6. Almost all of the packages from the repository are the 64 bit versions, while at least some of the ones I used on Fedora 6 were the 32 bit versions. As far as I know this shouldn't make any difference, but I am guessing that the fact that I am using the 64 bit edition of Fedora 7 might have something to do with it.
Then again, spring compiled fine on the 64 bit edition of Fedora 6. I have thought that I might just be missing something that scons needs when it checks for dependencies, but I have no idea what that would be. I can't say I have any idea how scons checks dependencies either, so I have no idea what could cause it to fail.

Do you have ccache installed?

[smcarrick]

I am having the same configure problem as Syndr on my x86 system (3.0GHz P-IV, 1GB RAM). So, I'm thinking that this may be an FC7 problem and not a 64-bit problem.

I've got all of the required header files in the appropriate places and `scons configure` is not finding them, but there don't appear to be any errors in my config.log file.

I would be more than happy to paste up my config.log file if you would like to review it. Alternatively, I could email it to you if you provide your email address. I would really like to see if we can resolve this problem for our FC7 systems, because I would really like to play TA Spring.

***UPDATE***

In reply to plouj, I do have ccache installed on my x86 Fedora 7 system.

That is most likely the problem here. I had to remove ccache from my new Fedora 7 system to compile Spring. Sorry for not telling you this earlier.

[Syndr]

Removing ccache fixed the problem!
Scons now sees all the dependencies and is compiling just fine. I had managed to get spring to run using the suse rpms and linking to the correct libraries, but I would rather use a version compiled for my system than one meant for an entirely different distribution.

Thanks,
