Error Compiling git on Jaunty Today!

Post by black »

Hello!
I am trying to compile on Jaunty Ubuntu 9.04 today with the latest snapshot from git. But I am having compile errors. Here are the errors:

Code: Select all

In file included from gui/widgets/textpreview.cpp:27:
./gui/truetypefont.h:35:21: error: SDL_ttf.h: No such file or directory
In file included from gui/widgets/textpreview.cpp:27:
./gui/truetypefont.h:74: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ‘TTF_Font’ with no type
./gui/truetypefont.h:74: error: expected ‘;’ before ‘*’ token
make[2]: *** [gui/widgets/tmw-textpreview.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/black/programmin/tmw/tmw/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/black/programmin/tmw/tmw'
make: *** [all] Error 2
Yes I have installed the libsdl-ttf relevant packages and I have also discussed this with devs on the irc channels, they say they are getting no errors, can any one help me please?

I used to code for http://www.planeshift.it a while ago and added some leet feautres, I want to help so please help me compile first. Thankyou very much!

Have you also installed the dev package?

(The file /usr/include/SDL/SDL_ttf.h comes with the libsdl-ttf2.0-dev package.)

Of course I have installed it and all other packages. Just a question, if I haven't installed some packages like this one then why is the "configure" successful?

It doesn't appear to be looking for the header, just the library, which you did have installed.

This lists the package names you need (in nice, command-line-ready commands): http://wiki.themanaworld.org/index.php/ ... ompilation. Note that following the rest of the guide will have you also compiling guichan and putting both under ~. That's needed for Hardy and lower, but not you. Just get those first dependency lines. Add libguichan and libguichan-dev to one of them.

Thank you very much jaxad but when I run that apt-get install commands (both of em) it says 0 installed, 0 upgraded. So I have all those packages. And by those dependency lines you mean those export lines? I also ran those but still the same error as above...

No. The install lines.

Could you redo the first two build steps (autogen and configure)?

I did no success. Up till now I was hindering in changing the source but now I did and success :D

The problem is solved if in "gui/truetypefont.h" I change this "#include <SDL_ttf.h>" to this "#include "/usr/include/SDL/SDL_ttf.h" "

It appears that the GCC cant find the path for SDL libs, how can I configure the GCC to find them automatically coz If I change it this way my source will differ and my patches will mess your repository up.

Code: Select all

git reset --hard origin
Will completely reset your repository to origin, removing all local changes.


If you have some changes that you want to keep:

Code: Select all

git add <file>
for each of the files you want to keep, then

Code: Select all

git commit
to locally commit the changes in the files you added, then

Code: Select all

git reset --hard HEAD
to remove all other changes by resetting to your local commit.


Hope this helps. :)

You can easily restore a file with this:

Code: Select all

git checkout <path>
As for that weirdness with include paths, ask Ubuntu about it. You're the first to report it.

Not for me maybe because I updated from 8.04?? I think that's the reason...
