Building PhantomJS 2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04

[Robin Shields]

I'm trying to build Phantom JS on Ubuntu 14.04 (hosted on Linode) and get the following error:

Building main PhantomJS application...

cd src/ && ( test -e Makefile.phantomjs || /root/phantomjs/src/qt/qtbase/bin/qmake /root/phantomjs/src/phantomjs.pro -o Makefile.phantomjs ) && make -f Makefile.phantomjs

make[1]: Entering directory `/root/phantomjs/src'

Makefile.phantomjs:286: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/phantomjs/src'

make: *** [sub-src-phantomjs-pro-make_first-ordered] Error 2

I think the bold line is the problem? I've applied the patch here  https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/12949 in response to a previous error. Any suggestions very welcome!

Did you try to build it from the source tarball?

Hi !

I used https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.0.0-source.zip and got the error written below. I have also tried to use githit code and branch 2.0 but i got the same error.

POSIX iconv enabled.

ICU auto-detection... ()

icu.cpp:42:28: fatal error: unicode/utypes.h: No such file or directory

make: *** [icu.o] Error 1

ICU disabled.

The ICU library support cannot be enabled.

 Turn on verbose messaging (-v) to /home/hasan/hasan/phantomjs-2.0.0/src/qt/qtbase/configure to see the final report.

 If you believe this message is in error you may use the continue

 switch (-continue) to /home/hasan/hasan/phantomjs-2.0.0/src/qt/qtbase/configure to continue.

Hi,

You need to install libicu developer headers.

apt-get install libicu-dev

[Robin Shields]

Worked with no problems on the try when I used the zipped source download, thank you very much! The tools required to build (on the build page) should probably include make. I would have thought this was standard on Ubuntu, but it wasn't included on the Linode version.

Hi!

I ended up with another error.

Now you need to install libpng headers.

apt-get install libpng-dev

You can find the list with all required packages here: http://phantomjs.org/build.html 

[Hasan Naqvi]

Thank you Vitaly!

Build is successfull now but phantomjs is not installed. Do I need to do something else other sudo ./build.sh . Or I need to manually configure the phantomjs using /bin/phantomjs ?

why won't you add this to the README.md file?
or wrtite a short "requirements.txt" or "build-instructions.txt" file?

[Vitaly Slobodin]

Hi,

We have build instructions here - http://phantomjs.org/build.html

To sum it up, these were the missing libraries I encountered:

• apt-get install libjpeg-dev
• apt-get install libpng-dev (apt decided to use libpng12-dev, automatically)
• apt-get install libicu-dev

(probably others were preinstalled)

final summary

• apt-get flex bison gperf

• apt-get install libjpeg-dev
• apt-get install libpng-dev (apt decided to use libpng12-dev, automatically)
• apt-get install libicu-dev

funny thing is, i thought i'm compiling a python module, but got a standalone static  54MB binary executable shell.
