Hi, here's some linux build notes for v1.7.14 it did not completely build without error, until the following hacks/fixes were made. Hopefully this info is useful; perhaps someone can apply these back to the repo. I'm still relatively new to Equalizer. Apologies if there's any mistakes.
This is on an up-to-date gentoo linux system: $ uname -a Linux dadev2 3.12.21-gentoo-r1 #1 SMP Fri Jul 4 09:45:24 EST 2014 x86_64 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 0 @ 2.30GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux -------------------------------------- I should say, I have installed the Space Navigator Library from: http://spacenav.sourceforge.net/ and installed it in: /usr/local/lib64/libspnav.so being: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Jul 4 18:47 libspnav.so -> libspnav.so.. -rwxrwxr-x 1 ben staff 59995 Jul 4 15:19 libspnav.so.. For some reason SpaceNav have those trailing '..' on the lib, so a symbolic link fixes this. -------------------------------------- Fresh Build: # mkdir /touro/equalizer # cd /touro/equalizer # mkdir v1.7.14 # cd v1.7.14 # git clone https://github.com/Eyescale/Buildyard.git # cd Buildyard # git clone https://github.com/Eyescale/config.git config.eyescale # mkdir build # cd build # cmake-gui .. * hit configure GUI button twice, then generate GUI button, then file->quit * you are in the dir: /touro/equalizer/v1.7.14/Buildyard/build # make VERBOSE=1 Equalizer this builds up until it is unable to git clone VRPN's submodules/hidapi [ 66%] Performing download step (git clone) for 'VRPN' cd /touro/equalizer/v1.7.14/Buildyard/src && /usr/bin/cmake -P /touro/equalizer/v1.7.14/Buildyard/build/VRPN/tmp/VRPN-gitclone.cmake Cloning into 'VRPN'... remote: Reusing existing pack: 16899, done. remote: Counting objects: 3, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (3/3), done. remote: Total 16902 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0) Receiving objects: 100% (16902/16902), 8.16 MiB | 1.80 MiB/s, done.

I wasn't sure how to append /usr/include/libusb-1.0 to the INCLUDE PATH (couldn't see it in the cmake-gui), so instead i just made the path a bit more explicit in the src file. That is: * Change line 176: ./v1.7.14/Buildyard/src/VRPN/vrpn_Tracker.h // #include <libusb.h> #include <libusb-1.0/libusb.h> and then continue the build. # make VERBOSE=1 Equalizer And that Compiled! DONE. HTH! cheers, ben. PS. At one stage i noted my libspnav.so did not include the 3 x11 functions: [ 39%] Building CXX object tools/CMakeFiles/eqPlyConverter.dir/eqPlyConverter/main.cpp.o Linking CXX executable ../bin/eqPlyConverter ../lib/libEqualizer.so.1.7.3: undefined reference to `spnav_x11_event' ../lib/libEqualizer.so.1.7.3: undefined reference to `spnav_x11_window' ../lib/libEqualizer.so.1.7.3: undefined reference to `spnav_x11_open' It turned out the libspnav.so which i think came via the git clone of the repo, so it had to be rebuilt with X11 enabled. This made a much bigger lib. then "nm libspnav.so" showed them (nb below "spnav_x11_*") $ nm /usr/local/lib64/libspnav.so |tail 0000000000001f30 T spnav_poll_event 0000000000001b60 T spnav_remove_events 0000000000001ac0 T spnav_sensitivity 0000000000002150 T spnav_wait_event 0000000000001e90 T spnav_x11_event 00000000000019a0 T spnav_x11_open 0000000000001730 T spnav_x11_window U stderr@@GLIBC_2.2.5 U write@@GLIBC_2.2.5 0000000000001470 t x11_sensitivity Also, to see the space navigator working, you need to be sure it's sending X11 events. Assuming you have installed spacenavd in /etc/init.d and the daemon is running ok (see the spacenav website for instructions on installing it. Nothing unusual there) You also need to (as root) enable x11 events via spnavd_ctl # /usr/bin/spnavd_ctl the only valid control for the moment is x11 (/usr/bin/spnavd_ctl x11 start/stop). # /usr/bin/spnavd_ctl x11 start signalled spacenavd, it should now start sending X events. -- View this message in context: http://software.1713.n2.nabble.com/v1-7-14-linux-build-notes-tp7585905.html Sent from the Equalizer - Parallel Rendering mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ eq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.equalizergraphics.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eq-dev http://www.equalizergraphics.com
