vbam svn945 compiling problems and solutions.

[cmdreamer]

Hello there, first of all, thanks a lot for this great vba emulator.

 

Ok, now to the point ;P

 

I tried to compile vbam svn 945, but I got an error:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:57 (MESSAGE):
 Could NOT find SFML (missing: SFML_LIBRARY SFML_INCLUDE_DIR)
Call Stack (most recent call first):
 CMakeScripts/FindSFML.cmake:78 (FIND_PACKAGE_HANDLE_STANDARD_ARGS)
 CMakeLists.txt:44 (FIND_PACKAGE)

 

After following install instructions from SFML site and repeating compile process it advances until this point when linking gvbam and vbam executables:

 

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/ld: warning: libopenal.so.1, needed by /usr/lib/gcc/i586-redhat-linux/4.4.1/../../../libsfml-audio.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

 

So I installed openal-soft library (not needed on svn 928) which was the last one I compiled. And everything went ok, compiled without any problems, just the "usual" deprecated and unused messages.

 

There's a typo I've found on vbam.desktop file, on the comment section:

 

Code: Select all

Comment=Nindendo GameBoy Advance Emulator

 

Which I modified to:

 

Code: Select all

Comment=Nintendo GameBoy Advance Emulator

 

So then at the end I've got a Fedora 11 vbam-1.8.0_svn945 RPM and SRPM. Which I can share if anyone's interested.

 

Thanks again for this great emu, I'm looking forward for VBAM-2 ;D

 

Oh! BTW, ZIP file support is fixed now, thanks! Can 7Zip file support be implemented, file size is smaller in 7Z, thanks in advance.

I'm trying to compile this version as well, and it says that

How do I continue?

You have to install the developer packges that are not found.

Where do find giomm-2.4? as I have done a search for it in Synaptic, and nothing has turned up...

 

Edit: Here is the result of trying it again after installing said dependancies (minus giomm, as it installed that with the others):

According to this:

 

Code: Select all

-- checking for module 'giomm-2.4'
--   found giomm-2.4, version 2.22.1

 

It's already installed, not 2.4 version though but should work. Also, you need to install SDL and SDL-devel for this to return SDL libraries path and to be able to compile VBA-M::

 

Code: Select all

SDL_INCLUDE_DIR

 

Advice, read carefully the error messages, most of the time they provide more usefull info than we can think of. Something more, use common sense after reading such error messages (no offense).

I've used the make command, it makes it, I then try make install, it says

 

make: *** No rule to make target `install'. Stop.

 

Now I'm confused :msn_confused:

Could you please add more output from './configure', and from 'make' at least the last 20 lines and from 'make install' the resulting message?

 

Did you run 'make' and 'make install' as root? (Without the single quotes of course)

I must be a noob, as ./configure says

 

bash: ./configure: No such file or directory

 

I have only recently put ubuntu on my netbook, as Windows was giving me the shits with viruses.

OK my bad, sorry.

 

How did you compiled vba-m svn 945? I'm asking you to post the process you used to compile it and the messages showed during that process, except for all the messages from make (the compilation itself), as it outputs a lot of info.

 

Myself, normally I just unpack the svn package from the svn repo and on the 'trunk' folder issue the 'cmake CMakeLists.txt' command which configures and compiles the package; but I need to create an RPM package to install it on some computers (all based on Fedora 11), so an RPM comes in handy and the compilation process (in my case) is slightly different.

[ryuragnas]

I have deleted the old vbam folder, and started fresh, I used:

 

ccmake CMakeList.txt

make .

sudo make install

 

It has been stuck on

 

Building CXX object CMakeFiles/vbam.dir/src/filters/hq/c/hq_implementation.o

 

for a while now... about 30 minutes...

 

Mind you, I'm compiling it on an Acer Aspire One 150

 

I used ccmake as its a terminal gui, so its a couple keystrokes to use.

 

EDIT: After waiting 45 minutes, it compiled...

Now that I have it compiling, how to I only compile the SDL version? as I would like to use RTC and such...
