mysterious iberty dep fails

i've tried skipping that with -Wno-dev, but then cannot build:

stephan@tiny:~/cvs/grive$ make

i cannot find any seemingly relevant reference to "iberty" in the package dbs for Ubuntu. What is it and where do we get it?

stephan@tiny:/cvs/grive$ dpkg -S libiberty

stephan@tiny:/cvs/grive$ dpkg -S iberty

I was told that libiberty needs to be linked in order to be compiled on OpenSUSE 12.1. In my Fedora box grive can be built without libiberty. I guess ubuntu doesn't need it either.

Can you please remove "REQUIRED" in the find_package line in the libgrive/CMakeLists and try again? Thanks.

It now looks like this:

find_package(Iberty)

but

stephan@tiny:~/cvs/grive$ rm CMakeCache.txt; cmake .

The first error about IF/ENDIF appears to me to be a blatant lie:

IF ( CPPUNIT_FOUND )
set( OPT_INCS ${CPPUNIT_INCLUDE_DIR} )
ENDIF ( CPPUNIT_FOUND )

i have no idea why it still complains about iberty. i worked around it by removing that line entirely.

IBERTY_LIBRARY
linked by target "grive" in directory /home/myhomedir/grive/libgrive

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

Yeah, I ran into this error, while trying to compile grive. I am running Fedora core 15 32-bit, the solution for me was to install the binutils-devel rpm package.

@DavidLeeEvans thank you! it worked on debian (installed binutils-dev)

[match065]

Any patch for the CMakeLists? I can't try to build in all platforms.

[sgbeal]

After installing binutils (thanks for the tip, David!), it works out of the box for me. Before that i was having to remove all of the lines dealing with iberty in libgrive/CMakeLists.txt.

Mind if I close the issue?

Unfortunately installing binutils-dev doesn't seem to have solved the issue for me
