compilation on debian failed

[acmodeu]

Tried to compile on no-gui debian server Linux version 3.16.0-4-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.4 (Debian 4.8.4-1) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.16.7-ckt25-1 (2016-03-06) using instructions given in https://github.com/airdcpp-web/airdcpp-webclient/blob/master/INSTALL.md

4. git clone https://github.com/airdcpp-web/airdcpp-webclient.git
5. cd airdcpp-webclient
6. cmake .
7. Get the following error after make -j1 command

Is it however possible or i just wasting my time? Can you provide me with instructions cause I'm quite a noobie with all this compiling stuff.

[maksis]

Could you post the output of cmake .? Were there any other errors while compiling?

[acmodeu]

Неre is my terminal log from git clone https://github.com/airdcpp-web/airdcpp-webclient.git to the error.

The log looks normal otherwise and yes, the client is meant to be supported on Debian.

I'll check tomorrow if I can figure something out.

[acmodeu]

Thanks in advance, that would be great.

[maksis]

I tried to compile the client on Debian and there were no errors.

Could you post the following outputs:

cat airdcpp-core/CMakeFiles/airdcpp.dir/link.txt
cat airdcppd/CMakeFiles/airdcppd.dir/link.txt
ldconfig -p | grep libboost_regex

[maksis]

I also get the following errors when I try to use your package installation command:

E: Unable to locate package libboost1.58-dev
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost1.58-dev'
E: Unable to locate package libboost-regex1.58
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-regex1.58'

E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'libboost-thread1.58'
E: Unable to locate package libboost-system1.58

Packages for Ubuntu 14.04 were installed fine. Make sure that you don't mix boost packages with different versions as it will very likely cause such error.

[acmodeu]

Looks like I haven't done something before.

les@sync:$ cat airdcpp-core/CMakeFiles/airdcpp.dir/link.txt
cat: airdcpp-core/CMakeFiles/airdcpp.dir/link.txt: No such file or directory
les@sync:$ cat airdcppd/CMakeFiles/airdcppd.dir/link.txt
cat: airdcppd/CMakeFiles/airdcppd.dir/link.txt: No such file or directory
les@sync:~$ ldconfig -p | grep libboost_regex
bash: ldconfig: command not found

Those 1.58 packages are from testing branch. I may try to use stable.

[maksis]

Try running ldconfig -p | grep libboost_regex with root permissions. Ensure that the version number you see is the same as you have in file /usr/include/boost/version.hpp.

[maksis]

Did you try using libraries from stable?

[acmodeu]

I'm on it now.

[maksis]

My understanding is that the next version of Debian has its libraries compiled with GCC 5 and the library format isn't fully compatible with GCC 4.9 that you are using for compiling.

[acmodeu]

Backed up from snapshot, repeated all the process with 1.55 installed, failed with something new:

-- Installing Web UI
Installing Web UI (~1.0.0)
airdcpp-webui@1.0.4 node_modules/airdcpp-webui
Web UI was installed successfully
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

[maksis]

Could you post the full console output?

[acmodeu]

Ok, I managed to compile on a brand new debian test machine so I think I can work something out on my regular one. Many thanks for the help. However please don't close the thread yet.

[acmodeu]

I wasn't able to install 1.55 packages on my machine. Can I move compiled binaries from one machine to another?

[maksis]

That should work, but it will still require the boost libraries to be available

[acmodeu]

Could you please pinpoint to what should i do then?

[maksis]

Naturally the best option is to get to system in to a state where there are no packages mixed up from different OS versions as it's hard for anyone to anticipate how such system behaves.

If the system is fully upgraded to the testing version, uninstall GCC 4.9 and use GCC 5 that is the default compiler in Debian 9. Delete the client folder and re-download it to avoid issues with cached data.

[acmodeu]

Ok, thank you. Luckily I was able to start compiled binary on the problem machine.
