Can not compile on Amazon Linux 64b

[fuho]

This time I will document everything I do while trying to get VIPS compiled on Amazon AWS EC2 instance running Amazon Linux updated to the latest version (I believe that is 2012.09):

After git clone, from libvips directory:

$ ./bootstrap.sh 
./bootstrap.sh: line 20: aclocal: command not found
cp: cannot stat `/codeset.m4': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/gettext.m4': No such file or directory

cp: cannot stat `/progtest.m4': No such file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/introspection.m4': No such file or directory
./bootstrap.sh: line 31: gtkdocize: command not found

ok, aclocal and gtkdocize missing, aclocal is i think provided by automake:
$ sudo yum install automake gtk-doc then:

./bootstrap.sh 
mkdir: cannot create directory `m4': File exists

ok, now let's try to configure (to /lib and /bin) :

 ./configure --prefix=''
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
./configure: line 2740: syntax error near unexpected token `1.30.0'
./configure: line 2740: `GOBJECT_INTROSPECTION_CHECK(1.30.0)'

And now I am trying to install gobject-introspection, I haven't found it in repositories, so I am trying to compile it from source. It keeps telling me that Glib on the system is too old, so I compiled latest glib from source with prefix='', then ldconfig and tried configuring gobject-introspection again, but it still doesn't register the newly compiled Glib and keeps telling me that Requested 'glib-2.0 >= 2.29.7' but version of GLib is 2.22.5. Restarted the instance and now am recompiling glib again after I sudo yum remove glib-devel (it didn't let me uninstall glib, when I tried it tried to remove yum)

Now for a change No package 'glib-2.0' found, even though I have just compiled it, restarting the system again...

Hi, sorry for the delay in responding.

You can make this a bit simpler: get the sources from git and make a distribution tarball on your development machine, then configure and build that on your production machine. git sources -> dev tarball needs quite a few packages, such as swig and gobject-introspection and automake, which are not required for the final configure.

So I'd do this on my development machine:

download snapshot from github, patch as required
./bootstrap
./configure --enable-gtk-doc
make
make dist

This will make a distribution tarball. This tarball can configure and build with only run-time dependencies required. For example, no need for swig, since that's run for you at dis build time.

Now on your amazon instance:

tar xf vips-7.31.0.tar.gz
cd vips-7.31.0
./configure --prefix=/home/me/vips
make
make install

And that should work with no development dependencies.

[fuho]

Thanks for your help again,
I will do that as soon as I can.
Oh and happy new year! :)

[jcupitt]

There's an updated dev tarball here:

http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/development/vips-7.31.0.tar.gz

it might help this problem.

[jcupitt]

Closing this issue, it seems to be fixed. Please reopen if there's still a problem.

[bradisbell]

I am having the exact same issue on Amazon Linux AMI release 2014.03. For the tarball at http://www.vips.ecs.soton.ac.uk/supported/current/vips-7.40.2.tar.gz, output of ./configure:

...
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.6 gmodule-2.0 libxml-2.0 gobject-2.0) were not met:

No package 'glib-2.0' found
No package 'gmodule-2.0' found
No package 'libxml-2.0' found
No package 'gobject-2.0' found

At a minimum, glib-2.0 is on the system. I assume there are some path issues, but I cannot figure out what.

[bradisbell]

Well, that turned out to be embarrassingly easy... glib-2.0 was on the system but glib2-devel was not. Installing it and libxml2-devel fixed the issue.

sudo yum install glib2-devel
sudo yum install libxml2-devel
