Problems "download_and_compile.sh" with 16.10 Ubuntu

Postby abassign » Wed Oct 26, 2016 9:30 am

I checked out two compile difficulties of the FGFS program via the "download_and_compile.sh" script in the new version of Ubuntu / Kubuntu 16.10:

1: The library "libpng12-dev" is no longer available in the main repository. Correct this in the Linux/Ubuntu build file: "download_and_compile.sh"
Code: Select all
## PKG="$PKG libopenal-dev libudev-dev qt5-default libdbus-1-dev libpng12-dev libplib-dev" this line I have replace with this:
PKG="$PKG libopenal-dev libudev-dev qt5-default libdbus-1-dev libpng-dev libplib-dev"


2: I noticed that the 16.10 version of Ubuntu/Kubuntu does not install many things than older versions, for example the library gettext-base must be loaded,Otherwise the compiler stops with an error when compiling FGRUN.

I think it is useful that whoever maintains the script "download_and_compile.sh" make the necessary changes.

You can access the required library, libpng12-dev, by adding the repository that maintains it:

add: "http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/ xenial main" to the file /etc/apt/sources.list

The script will then run.

Honestly I would avoid making these code mixtures, my question is this: "libpng12-dev" is different from "libpng-dev"? Because if it was not then, for Ubuntu / Kubuntu 10.16 may be convenient take this way.

I do not know how many FGFs compile on Linux Debian or Ubuntu 10.16 Jessie, but the problem I reported still remains, I think Agree to make the change, since doing it all seems to be ok. I had yesterday another report by a user on the blog of FGFs Italy.

It seems this package was removed in July, because of two bugs: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/yakkety/amd64/libpng12-dev

Bug1 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/822318
Bug2 - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1595485

You can, however, download it and install it while it's not back in the repos (if it will ever come back): http://launchpadlibrarian.net/255287430 ... _amd64.deb

You can also download the source code and compile it.

I just D&C on a brand new, bare bone Debian Jessie and FG compiled stock. The only issue was with Terragear and that was an outdated gdal version. I still have a tgconstruct error I haven't tracked down yet.

a quick looks shows that maybe changing the package name to "libpng" could resolve it... otherwise someone will have to figure out how to have the script determine which release it is running on and which package to add to the list to be installed... but since FGRun is going to be removed at some point, i don't see that it is a big thing to worry about... especially not when it comes to complicating the script unnecessarily...
