bootstrap.sh failes with "An error occurred while runni

[Darsmol]

I downloaded from svn because the provided install file doesn't work on my amd64 (x86_64).

I followed this guide: http://vegastrike.sourceforge.net/wiki/ ... nt_version

aclocal/automake used are version 1.5, autoconf/autoheaders are version 2.61.

Please send bug reports or comments about this script
to the email above or else visit
vegastrike.sourceforge.net for help in using this script

The recommended way to change the behaviour of this script
is to modify the path so that the version of automake or
autoconf you want to use is found first.
Alternately, you can explicitly specify the program to be
used for each in the following variables.
$ACLOCAL, $AUTOMAKE, $AUTOCONF, $AUTOHEADER
For proper functionality, both aclocal and automake must be the
same version, and autoconf and autoheader should be the same version.

An error occurred while running the autotools.  Please correct.

Oh, and boost 1.33.1 is installed.

[ace123]

Automake shouldn't give errors like that. However, they break so much stuff after each release, and I know that 1.4 is definitely out of the question. 1.5 is pretty close to 1.4, and I've never tried it.

Anyway, you can set the ACLOCAL and AUTOMAKE environment variables to point to the latest version of automake (try anything after 1.5. I have used 1.7, 1.9 and 1.10 successfully)

To get a list of automake binaries, do

Code: Select all

ls -l /usr/bin/automake-*

aclocal comes with automake, so use the same aclocal version as you use automake.

Then, run bootstrap line like this:

Code: Select all

ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.6 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.6 ./bootstrap.sh

[Darsmol]

Thanks for your advice:
'ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 sh ./bootstrap-sh' works, though i have 1.10 installed, which is not recognized when i set it.

Anyway, now sh configure fails.

Code: Select all

 $ sh ./configure --with-png-inc='/usr/include/libpng12' --with-data-dir='../data4.x/' --enable-debug
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for g++... g++
checking for C++ compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C++ compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C++ compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details.

--with-png-inc='usr/include/libpng12' points to the png.h and pngconf.h
--with-data-dir='./data4x/' is relative to my vegastrike-dir

and now the config.log:

I stumped with this problem last night and after some investigation I realized that automake1.10 does not identify itself correctly, so bootstrap won't run

I suggest every newcomer to use automake1.9, as this version does not exhibit this aberrant behavior.

Hopefully this saves more than one headache

And thank you guys for bringing this awesome game!!!

[loki1950]

@_julio_ that aberrant behavior may be distro specific ie maybe someone packaged it wrong.

Enjoy the Choice

[_julio_]

Yup, it is the .deb for automake1.10 from sid that is responsible. I tried with other distro in my spare partition and runs smoothly.

I can forgive the debian guys for such a sin...

[loki1950]

It is Sid after all

Enjoy the Choice

[Darsmol]

i'm afraid that doesn't solve my problem at all

With regards to that error:

Code: Select all

./configure: line 2236: ./a.out: Permission denied

That means that your binaries you compile are not being given the "executable" file bit.

The fact that you are running everything with "sh ./configure" and "sh ./bootstrap-sh" is making me think that your filesystem is not making files executable that should be (which configure needs in order to run).

Is it at all possible that your filesystem is mounted with the "noexec" option? If you aren't sure, look at the "/etc/fstab" file or run "mount" to display mounted filesystems.

Would it be possible to try building vegastrike from /tmp? Or from some subdirectory of the root filesystem?

Or just make sure you can run ./configure, not sh ./configure.

this seems to have been the solution, to move the whole directory to my root-partition.
still i do not understand why.

this is the corresponding line i have in my fstab

Code: Select all

/dev/sda8                       /home/tomboy/dev        reiserfs        user            0 0

while this is the line for my root-partition

Code: Select all

/dev/sda6                       /                       reiserfs        noatime                 0 0

Have a look at mount(8). user implies noexec, nosuid, and nodev. You could use user,exec, or even user,exec,dev,suid.

I knew user implied nosuid and nodev, since those are obviously needed to stop someone with a cd with a setuid root bash executable, or a world-read/write /dev/mem. I forgot about noexec, and as you've discovered, it's just a pain. If you had an ELF binary on a device you mounted, you could run /lib/ld-linux.so.2 /mnt/foo.bin.

Wow, I just learned something new today

I guess it makes sense, now that I think about it, but I have never noticed since my only "user"-mountable filesystems are fat32 devices with explicitly-set umask"s to give read permission.

Well, I don't really think the noexec part makes sense. It's just annoying. As I said, you can even run arbitrary ELF binaries from a noexec-mounted filesystem by invoking /lib/ld.so on them, like /bin/sh for shell scripts. ld.so is even called an ELF interpreter.

Always happy to geek out for a receptive audience. BTW, I turned off smilies in my post above. I meant to write the man page section after the mount command name... At least the sunglasses smilies on this forum doesn't look like too much of a jerk.

yeh, found that "exec" option tonight at 3 am ...

so thx for your support - and keep up the good work.
