​I know I've built Xastir successfully in Debian 7​ (Wheezy).  I just
didn't make a script for it other than the one for the Raspian version for
the Raspberry Pi.

​It sounds like ​Debian Jessie may have the same problem with the
ImageMagick and GraphicsMagick dev packages that is present in Ubuntu 15.10.

​It is possible to change your Debian installation to use sudo.  ​What's
the problem with 'su -c' in the scripts - too many password prompts?

 I note, Lee, you have a Pi script for Jessie - that might work, I'll give
it a whirl...

​I'll plan to remove the Raspian-Jessie version of the script.  That was
something I threw together for you to try based on your previous
observations about what needed to change from Wheezy to Jessie.  I didn't
have anything to test it on.  I haven't upgraded my Raspberry Pi to Jessie
yet.​

Re: [Xastir] Kubuntu _and_ Raspberry Pi build fails

Lee,

I uninstalled libwebp-dev on my Debian Jessie installation and ran 
./configure for xastir. It reported the Imagemagick/Graphicsmagick error.


I reinstalled libwebp-dev and again ran ./configure. This time there 
wasn't an error and all options said YES.

Ray vk2tv

I bet dollars to donuts that there is a missing dependent library, and the
test is failing.


​That jibes with Ray's experience with Debian Jessie - he said he installed
'missing dependencies' in order to resolve what appeared to be the same
problem.

   Configure works by creating a small test program that

calls "WriteImage" and then tries to link that test program with
-lGraphicsMagick.  If the link fails, it reports that the function does not
exist, but there are often other reasons for the failure.

Look in config.log and see what the linker is actually complaining about.
I'll
bet it's complaining about some other function not being defined when
linking
-lGraphicsMagick.  Then the trick is to find what library provides *THAT*
and
why it hasn't already been added to LIBS.

Our configure script is supposed to use
   GraphicsMagick-config --libs
to get the correct libs line to use.  That, in turn, is supposed to return
a list of all "-l" arguments that should be used to link with
GraphicsMagick.
If there is something missing in that list, it could cause this problem.

​Thanks - I forgot about config.log.  I found this a few lines down from

the check for "WriteImage in lGraphicsMagick"

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lwebp

Hmm, webp, "Lossy compression of digital photographic images" - that sounds
like something GraphicsMagick might use - or need.  The webp package was
installed but not libwebp-dev, so perhaps the dev package for
GraphicsMagick should be installing that as a dependency.  I installed
libwebp-dev, and "presto", Configure found GM, and Xastir is built with
working online OSM maps.  Thanks Tom!

Hey Dexter.  In Kubuntu 15.10, install libwebp-dev.  :-)

I'm not sure if libwebp-dev will fix Debian Jessie, however.  I don't have
the means to try that now.

Bingo.  It's just a packaging error for GraphicsMagick-dev, which should be 
requiring libwebp-dev as a dependency.  

FWIW, I just checked on my Ubuntu 14.04 system, and GraphicsMagick-config --libs
does not show a -lwebp dependency, but my FreeBSD system does, and shows 
webp as an *optional* feature of GM --- so the maintainer must have decided
to enable that option, but forgot to propagate the dependency in the dev
package.  

It should be reported upstream --- the package maintainer should know that
the package dependencies are busted.

Re: [Xastir] Kubuntu _and_ Raspberry Pi build fails - Debian attempt

[David Flood]

Thanks for reminding me...I've got a 32G SD that I'll throw Raspian Jessie at 
tonight (I need the mental diversion) and then try to document what I find that 
I have to load using the "lather, read logs, repeat" method of banging my head.

As for bog stock Debian and/or Kubuntu, I should have some ATU's this Saturday 
when I have to come in to work to babysit a bypassed UPS...if shore power goes 
blip then I'll be busy...otherwise it's just escort the UPS tech in and make 
sure he doesn't fry himself...I'll bring in the personal laptop and try 
to set up both in a VM so I can also lather, read logs, repeat...

 I have both imagemagick and graphicsmagick installed including their
 development packages - and yet...

 checking for GraphicsMagick-config... /usr/bin/GraphicsMagick-config
 checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h usability... yes
 checking GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h presence... yes
 checking for GraphicsMagick/magick/api.h... yes
 ​​
 checking for WriteImage in -lGraphicsMagick
 ​​
 ... no
 configure: WARNING: *** Cannot find GraphicsMagick library files:

 checking for Magick-config... no

 I think that last line is the check for ImageMagick.  So it appears the
 dev
 packages for both magick flavors are not giving Xastir what it wants.

​Sorry for the slow follow up due to vacation.  I looked at the list of
Debian packages a while back, and all were already installed with the
exception of one that did not exist in Ubuntu 15.10​
​
​.  There was a similar one installed that appeared to be equivalent.  The
names escape me now.  When attempting to build Xastir in Ubuntu 15.10 the
configure script points to not finding key files that would normally be

​If this issue is also present in 16.04 this April I'm sure it will get
more attention.​  15.10 is basically a lame duck release.
