PracticalKat Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I've downloaded the latest (0.8.4) tar.gz from the SF page. I read the INSTALL file to check the required packages to build GemRB. I'm following the build instructions, but when I do "cmake .." from the build directory, I get the an error message (see below) that there are missing python libraries. Running "python" in the terminal reports that I'm running 2.7.6. What should I do next? I'm attaching a copy of my cmake log file. CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:108 (message): Could NOT find PythonLibs (missing: PYTHON_LIBRARIES PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIRS) (Required is at least version "2.3") Call Stack (most recent call first): /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:315 (_FPHSA_FAILURE_MESSAGE) /usr/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPythonLibs.cmake:208 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS) CMakeLists.txt:170 (FIND_PACKAGE) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

lynx Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 You need python2-devel or similar packages (for the headers). This is what Travis uses: apt-get -yq --no-install-suggests --no-install-recommends install cmake libpython2.7 zlib1g zlib1g-dev libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2-dev libopenal1 libopenal-dev libsdl-mixer1.2 libsdl-mixer1.2-dev libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev libvlc5 libvlc-dev libvlccore5 libvlccore-dev libpng12-0 libpng12-dev libvorbis0a libvorbis-dev openssh-client python-dev Btw, if you don't want to build gemrb yourself, we provide linux binaries too and they're even built on an ubuntu host: https://sourceforge.net/projects/gemrb/files/Buildbot%20Binaries/Linux/ Link to comment
PracticalKat Posted September 9, 2016 Author Share Posted September 9, 2016 Thanks, I'll use the binary then! EDIT: For future reference, in the end I went with compilation from source. Discussion of my problems with the binary and all the files posted can be ignored. Lynx comments on them if you want to go that route. I installed the packages listed by Lynx above to be ready for the build from source. On my system I could not locate libvlc5, but found that I had libvlc7 already installed. (Backports enabled probably did this). Following the INSTALL instructions it built without any complaints (see my last post). The error I had in starting gemrb at first (cache related) went away after a restart. Running like a dream now after editing the GemRB.cfg to give my paths to the game directory. Link to comment
PracticalKat Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 Maybe I've missed something basic, but the latest binary keeps giving me an error about the path to the game. I had 0.8.2 working with the same paths that I've put in the .cfg file for the binary, so I wonder if this is hardcoded somewhere. The only cfg file I can find for the binary is in ./etc/gemrb under the main directory, which for me is /usr/games/gemrb. If someone has time to check this out please let me know if I'm missing something obvious. I've added the error message and cfg file below. /usr/games/gemrb/bin$ '/usr/games/gemrb/bin/gemrb' [Core]: GemRB Core Version v0.8.4-git Loading... [Core]: Initializing the Event Manager...

lynx Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 if you want it to use your config, pass: -c path/to/config Otherwise gemrb uses the first usable thing it finds, in this case the bundled one. Link to comment
PracticalKat Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 OK, thanks. There was no plain GemRB.cfg bundled, only ones with different suffices, so I had copied mine across. Still didn't work. In the end I compiled from source. Only problem now is that when I try to start it, it can't make the cache directory. If I use "sudo gemrb" it is fine. I only used sudo at the end of the build process: "sudo make install". To get the permissions right I probably needed to use "sudo make" as well. Link to comment
lynx Posted September 10, 2016 Share Posted September 10, 2016 It's compiled with a prefix, so the default paths it looks at are different, except perhaps your home path (would have to check). But if you placed your config in the right dir, without any funny names, it'd be picked up. First, if you're compiling from source, there's no need to install (but it requires editing the config). Nothing requires root priviliges, unless you chose a path that's not writable by you (eg. the default fhs setting). Anyway, you can set the cache dir to something completely different (like /tmp/gege) in the config. Link to comment
PracticalKat Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 After restarting everything runs fine today with no changes. I'm very happy to have Baldur's Gate up and running without my overheating issues! Kudos to the team! Link to comment
