Trouble building arsenal

[insti...@googlemail.com]

Hey there,

am eager to give arsenal a go after beeing frustrated with Backburner
for what feels like a century.
I have trouble building it tho.

I tried on windows using mingw wich crashed on make
so i thought i'd give linux a go. Using ubuntu 10.10 i hit the wall
when trying to build PyQt (sip went fine it seems)
the error said it was unable to create the sources for QtCoreMod
Now i gave it a try using Ubuntu Karmic. So far i got Qt 4.5.3 to
build from source fine, installed the dependencies (so i think).
Sip is not compiling tho (after installing bison to get yacc). Any
hints as to what is required besides what is in the wiki ? Or what
distro/release to use best as a base ? Am doing this in virtual
machines so am pretty free to choose atm.

Thanks in advance for any input! I'd also be very happy to get some
input regarding windows building and if it is feasible atm. I was a
bit worried
i might have to break current python+qt+pyqt installs (as they are a
bit special heh)

I re-cloned today and got past the error. However i am now seeing the
same error i saw with 10.10 when
trying to build pyqt skipping sip. It is telling me to make sure i
have a working Qt v make on my path.
I did the export to the 4.5.3 bin directory as in the wiki page and i
can run qmake fine without adding
the path. Any way to force it to use the 4.5.3 one ? It is telling me
to use the -q argument but i didnt
find a way to supply that option via the build script ?

Kind Regards,
Thorsten

Fixed by manually copying qmake to usr/local/bin, next up missing
opengl stuff. I will retry with 10.10 now that i hit the same issues
in Karmic...

K, next step. Now it fails on building classgen. Cannot find
libstonegui.so.1 even tho it is on usr/local/lib and that path is in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Seems to work somewhat now (using some odd manual copying of libs)
It seems i am missing jobmax7.h (compiling libabsubmit)

Any hints ??

Hello Thorsten,

I have never seen those error messages you have, but here is how I do:

I compiled rev 102 on 10.04 (Kubuntu Lucid) x86_64. I always remove
qt4 and python-sip, python-qt4.
I also compile python from source, so I don't need to use root and
keep my OS clean (needs some modification in the .pro files to find
python).

Regarding Windows:
I'm on Windows XP 64-bit. I installed (32-bit):
* python 2.6.5
* MinGW-3.4.2.exe
* don't forget to copy binaries\mingw-extra-libs\ and
binaries\mingw-extra-includes\
* make sure you have to these variables set:
set QMAKESPEC=win32-g++
set PATH=%QTDIR%\bin;%PATH%
* I compiled qt from source.

Compiling on Windows takes more time.

Regards,
Zsolt

Thanks for the input, am preparing a windows VM to see if i can get it
to work in a vanilla
environment.

It seems that there are .sip files for a lot of different jobtypes,
but no headers or source
files are generated from them and hence they are missing in
libabsubmit. Is there
anything i can do to force the generation of these files ?

Regards,
Thorsten

I think they are generated with the classgen target, so you can do
something like this:

classmaker -s cpp/lib/classes/schema.xml -o cpp/lib/classes

I didn't really manage to get the headers created. I did give windows
in a Vanilla VM a try tho.
I did everything as advised in the wiki and here and still hit a wall
now.

I did manage to get Qt compile fine from the command line and am
pretty sure i have all ENV Variables
set properly now. Yet i am getting a file not found exception. Sadly i
can't seem to get from the traceback
WHICH file was not found. Anyone happen to have hit that same wall ?

Thorsten

This is a triumph! Well....partly :P i managed to compile it on *nix
using pretty much the buildscript from the wiki now *phew*

But i can't really start any of the apps it seems.

i got the following in usr/local/bin now:

absubmit -> seems to work, but no options listed and the link it
returns seems obsolete
af -> crashes with undefined symbol error (libstonegui.so.1)
burner -> crashes with Cannot connect and No module named blur.Stone
(wich really is not present in the python/blur dir)
classmaker -> seems to work

I am feeling a little lost. Reading here on the group that people are
seemingly deploying it on different studios is making
me wonder a little. Am i missing the docs somewhere ??

Hi,

blur.Stone is what you compiled (pystone target, in cpp/lib/stone/).
It should be the same directory with python/blur/__init__.py.
Sometimes, apps are crashing because they cannot open the database. In
general, you can override the app's default ini with -config.

Zsolt

Thanks again. It seems i wasn't building everything. I was under the
impression that the example build script would build all dependencies
which
it seemingly doesn't. Will give it a go again...

Thorsten

Okay,

i made some big steps getting pretty much everything to build with the
following exceptions:

burner (getting an error about a misplaced "." ? forgot the exact one,
will investigate)
all RPM packages (and possibly the installer packages. Seem to look
for SPEC files etc in a usr/.../redhat directory)
some image plugins (namely RLA for the moment. Will have to
investigate further there too)

now i wanted to take a look at a few Qt windows at least lol. I cannot
get freezer to start tho:

./af seems to be able to connect to the db (after a recompile as the
default port is not the default postgres port)
and then fails when adding jobwidgets. Namely FusionVideoMaker:

Error: syntax error at end of input
Line1: EXECUTE
QPSQL: Unable to create query

Is there any way to disable specific jobplugins (not going to use
Fusion anyways if that is Eyeon Fusion) ?
Does that need a recompile ? As it is a rather time consuming task in
a VM hehe.

Thorsten

K. I got freezer to start heh. Next up: getting burner to compile

manager still doesnt start saying blur.Stone wouldn't exist, but it
does exist and is in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
I tried explicitly adding that path to PYTHONPATH but it still won't
find it

I think you don't have __init__.py in python-site-packages/blur. You
can copy it from arsenalsuite/python/blur (from your source
directory).
