[Fedora-music-list] Building mididings on Fedora 12

Following the installation instructions at http://das.nasophon.de/mididings/ I've built and installed mididings on Fedora 12 (2.6.32.11-99.fc12.x86_64) with python-2.6.2-4.fc12.x86_64. I had to make one small change in setup.py to get it to build and install successfully. I have not tested it yet, however. (1) Installed the following RPMs to get setup.py to stop complaining of missing packages, and files: pyliblo-0.8.1-1.fc12.x86_64, dbus-devel-1.2.16-9.fc12.x86_64, dbus-python-devel-0.83.0-6.fc12.x86_64, python-inotify-0.8.8-1.fc12.noarch, python-inotify-examples-0.8.8-1.fc12.noarch, tcl-8.5.7-5.fc12.x86_64, tk-8.5.7-3.fc12.x86_64, tix-8.4.3-4.fc12.x86_64, tkinter-2.6.2-4.fc12.x86_64, glib2-devel-2.22.5-1.fc12.x86_64,alsa-lib-devel-1.0.22-2.fc12.x86_64,jack-audio-connection-kit-devel-1.9.4-1.fc12.ccrma.x86_64, python-devel-2.6.2-4.fc12.x86_64, boost-devel-1.39.0-9.fc12.x86_64 (2) Building: gets an error "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread" even though boost-thread-1.39.0-9.fc12.x86_64 installed. gnulem-57-~/mididings-20100413> ./setup.py build running build running build_py running build_ext building '_mididings' extension gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -O2 -g -pipe -Wall g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/backend.o /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread collect2: ld returned 1 exit status error: command 'g++' failed with exit status 1 (3) Fixed Setup.py to link the library from boost-thread RPM: gnulem-72-~/mididings-20100413> diff -c setup.py.~1~ setup.py *** setup.py.~1~ 2010-04-12 18:33:14.000000000 -0700 --- setup.py 2010-04-27 19:23:53.515386499 -0700 *************** *** 71,77 **** pkgconfig('glib-2.0') libraries.append(boost_lib_name('boost_python')) ! libraries.append(boost_lib_name('boost_thread')) #include_dirs.append('/opt/boost1.42-py3/include') #library_dirs.append('/opt/boost1.42-py3/lib') --- 71,77 ---- pkgconfig('glib-2.0') libraries.append(boost_lib_name('boost_python')) ! libraries.append(boost_lib_name('boost_thread-mt')) #include_dirs.append('/opt/boost1.42-py3/include') #library_dirs.append('/opt/boost1.42-py3/lib') (4) Sucess: gnulem-70-~/mididings-20100413> ./setup.py build running build running build_py running build_ext building '_mididings' extension g++ -pthread -shared build/temp.linux-x86_64-2.6/src/backend.o running build_scripts creating build/scripts-2.6 copying and adjusting scripts/mididings -> build/scripts-2.6 copying and adjusting scripts/livedings -> build/scripts-2.6 changing mode of build/scripts-2.6/mididings from 644 to 755 changing mode of build/scripts-2.6/livedings from 644 to 755 gnulem-73-~/mididings-20100413> sudo ./setup.py install running install running build running build_py running build_ext running build_scripts running install_lib creating /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mididings [...] byte-compiling /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mididings/live/widgets.py byte-compiling running install_scripts copying build/scripts-2.6/mididings -> /usr/bin copying build/scripts-2.6/livedings -> /usr/bin changing mode of /usr/bin/mididings to 755 changing mode of /usr/bin/livedings to 755 running install_egg_info Writing /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/mididings-20100413-py2.6.egg-info Niels http://nielsmayer.com
