Compile help?

[BlueRidgeDog]

After installing the dependencies, cmake hangs at the end Linking CXX executable photoflow with:

/usr/bin/ld: libpfgui.a(mainwindow.cc.o): in function `PF::MainWindow::MainWindow()':

Could you post the exact cmake command (or build command) that you have used?

[BlueRidgeDog]

I used the "bash build.sh" provided.
I also tried:
cd /home/jervin/Downloads/PhotoFlow-stable/build/src && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/photoflow.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
The final build ends up formulated as the following either way:

I am trying to understand what could be wrong. Will get back to you as soon as I have some idea...

[aferrero2707]

@BlueRidgeDog looks like there is some problem in retrieving the version information via git on your system. I have added default values for the version info variables, so that the version.cc file still gets properly generated.

Could you please try to update your local stable branch and re-build?

[BlueRidgeDog]

Excellent. It compiled fine. Now to get VIPS to do the same...it compiles but fails its tests, appears to link to its own libjpeg vs my installed on. I did not know this until PhotoFlow attempted to use vips to open a file!! Pressing on.

[aferrero2707]

@BlueRidgeDog any success? Is there anything I can do to help? If you are still struggling with VIPS you can post here the build error messages, I can have a look and see if I can figure out what is going wrong.

[alexmyczko]

here's a debian source package http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/photoflow/
i was able to build it for 20.04, don't have 19.10 to try, you tell me:

dget http://sid.ethz.ch/debian/photoflow/photoflow_0.2.8%2Bgit20200114-1.dsc
dpkg-source -x *.dsc
cd photofl*/
debuild
cd ..
dpkg -i photo*.deb

[aferrero2707]

@alexmyczko should I try to install the debian package you are providing, and check if photoflow runs correctly? Or is there any other action required from my side?

Thanks!!!

[alexmyczko]

can you install and test it? that would be great

[aferrero2707]

Sure! I will initially test it in a Docker container, then we can discuss wether another test on a full Debian system is required or not...
