How to compile debugedit? #1581
Comments

Oh I think this might answer my question - we need libdwarf and elfutils? https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rpm/+bug/341891. Testing now! |

Okay it's now attempting to compile - here is the error I'm getting: Should my build be different? I'm trying to create the package for spack, here is what I have so far: # Copyright 2013-2021 Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC and other

When compiling against OpenSSL, there is a possible license incompatibility.

Some Linux distributions have different legal interpretations of this
possible incompatibility. It is recommended to consult with a lawyer before
building RPM against OpenSSL.

@vsoch Lua is now required unconditionally, and has been de facto required for a while. Also, GPG is needed to sign packages, but not to verify them. |
|
@DemiMarie thank you! What version of lua? I had 5.2.0 and it told me it wasn't recent enough. Should I try a more recent one (which one?) |
|
here is what I ran into (that led me to disable it before) - when I add lua, it actually fails in the autogen.sh step, because it tells me it's not found / too old: ==> No patches needed for rpm
==> rpm: Executing phase: 'autoreconf'
==> Error: ProcessError: Command exited with status 1:
'/bin/bash' './autogen.sh'
1 error found in build log:
361 checking for localtime_r... yes
362 checking for statvfs... yes
363 checking for getaddrinfo... yes
364 checking for doxygen... no
365 checking for dot... YES
366 checking for LUA... no
>> 367 configure: error: lua not present or too old (--without-lua to disable)What environment variables / other need to be set for the Lua to be found? Sorry for my naive-ty, I'm pretty new to this library. |
You need 5.4.0, IIRC. 5.3.0 might work. |
|
No no, Lua 5.2 is the oldest supported version, as it says in INSTALL and configure.ac. On some distros (eg Debian and derivates) lua.pc is versioned and our configure.ac wont find it. |
|
Could it be an issue with not finding lua.pc? I was looking at this post, and that seems to be important: I've been trying all morning to get this to work with various variables pointing to the lua libraries and no go. I can confirm they are there: This is always the result: Does this not compile on Ubuntu? |
|
Is there a patch we can use maybe here to patch our lua install to have this file? |
|
Ok, I found a patch to generate lua.pc, added to PKG_CONFIG_PATH, and it starts the build, but then errors out: What am I missing? |
|
okay I think I'm beyond that error - now I have: I hope someone can help me :( |
|
These functions have been deprecated but the debugedit library is not updated? https://github.com/rpm-software-management/rpm/blob/635edd95230e17e8ada5793719d7e385e729df30/rpmio/rpmlua.h |
|
They were removed here 376fef1#diff-c9a9cfdfa5b80aab803ef1466d35d0b6ef4d7435b2663cd789e50493ace95857. |
|
Okay so I went back and used this older version, and installed binutils to get the first set of missing symbols, and now I have this: I'll stop posting so you have a chance to respond! I can't imagine that no one has ever tried to build this... |

hey @DemiMarie and @pmatilai ! I wanted to give you an update that we found debugedit here 👉 https://code.wildebeest.org/git/user/mjw/debugedit/ and although it's likely a WIP, it already compiles beautifully and we've been able to use it as a separate package. I'm good to close this issue - but I do have one more question! @DemiMarie you mentioned:
Do you use openssl / something else? Could you point me to where you do that? I think we'd be interested in doing something similar for spack. |

Hi! I have a bit of a noob question - I just built rpm from source following instructions in INSTALL, but I don't see debugedit in the bin. Are there instructions anywhere about flags/other I need to provide to compile it? Thank you!
