Improve section of readme that covers dependencies #21

Stratus3D · 2017-01-25T17:03:20Z

We explain how to install everything on Debian but don't cover RedHat/CentOS or OSX. I'd like to see dependency installation instructions for each OS we support.

Perhaps other OSs aren't supported, but I've been using asdf-erlang on OSX for some time now and haven't had any issues.

st23am · 2017-03-08T21:20:31Z

I'm getting compile errors on OSX 10.12.3 Is there some other OSX dependencies I need?

@st23am I'm not familiar with that exact error, but from what I have in my notes wxmac and openssl must be installed on OSX. I've also run into issues with grep. Unsetting custom grep options seems to resolve the grep related issues:

unalias grep
export GREP_OPTIONS=""
export GREP_COLOR=""
export GREP_COLORS=""

Are you using any special options when installing Erlang? And what version are you trying to install?

Stratus3D · 2017-04-15T00:30:14Z

I discovered the readme is wrong when it lists for the Debian dependencies for WxWidget support. The README lists libwxgtk2.8-dev but libwxgtk3.0-dev is required for Debian Jessie.

st23am · 2017-07-25T19:32:53Z

I wxmac and openssl installed and tried the grep fix.. I'm still getting errors with beam/erl_bif_re.c:69:5: error: use of undeclared identifier 'erts_pcre_malloc'; did you mean 'pcre_malloc'? erts_pcre_malloc = &erts_erts_pcre_malloc; ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ pcre_malloc that eventually fail the build.

st23am · 2017-07-25T19:51:16Z

Anyone else that has this error on OSX this was my issue https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19616891/error-when-installing-erlang

Homebrew installed pcre was conflicting w/ the built_in erlang_pcre library. I'm still getting build errors but I've moved past this one.

HashNuke · 2017-07-26T03:50:29Z

@st23am I installed wxmac and erlang 20.0 a couple days ago. Build was fine. No issues till now (could start observer too). All fine for you now?

[EDIT] I'm on OSX 10.12.5

0xradical · 2017-07-26T14:15:04Z

Hi @HashNuke I'm on OSX 10.11.6 and I'm having problems with the linker ... I'm not sure it has anything to do with dependencies though ... here's the output for asdf plugin-add for erlang 20.0

 LD	../priv/x86_64-apple-darwin15.6.0/wxe_driver.so
ld: in '/usr/local/lib/libcompression.dylib', file was built for i386 which is not the architecture being linked (x86_64): /usr/local/lib/libcompression.dylib for architecture x86_64

I'll try to upgrade to sierra and see if the error persists ...

st23am · 2017-07-26T18:03:56Z

@HashNuke I'm trying to install 19.2 for a legacy project.

The next dependency issue I am getting is around odbc. I tried installed iodbc from homebrew that didn't fix it.

make[3]: Nothing to be done for `opt'.
 MAKE	opt
 CC	../priv/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin16.6.0/odbcserver
ld: library not found for -lodbc
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make[4]: *** [../priv/bin/x86_64-apple-darwin16.6.0/odbcserver] Error 1```

Stratus3D · 2017-07-26T19:55:36Z

@st23am I think you may need to provide the path to your odbc install if it's installed by brew (it's been a while so I don't remember what flag it was). I typically turn off odbc support when I compile Erlang, since only one of my projects use it. Unless you actually need it's usually easier to just skip it.

0xradical · 2017-07-27T00:42:07Z

I just upgraded to Mac OS Sierra and can confirm that OTP 20.0 installs just fine. I couldn't track down the actual issue on the previous version (El Capitan) but maybe someone with more expertise on the Erlang ecosystem could come up with a less intrusive solution and update the dependencies list accordingly.
