Issues compiling Seafile server and its libraries

[Sven Grunewaldt]

Hi,

I have several issues compiling Seafile and its libraries. My distribution is
Gentoo, but I guess thats not actually the problem.

1. issue: the generated Makefiles don't work with python 3, which is the
default /usr/bin/python on current Gentoo systems. This can be solved by
using "./configure PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7", but this is more a
workaround than a nice way to solve this.

2. issue: installing the libraries with a prefix seems to have some
problems... not all header files are copied. This is how I compile
libsearpc (see the attachments for redirected output):

strayer@valaskjalf libsearpc % ./configure
--prefix=/home/strayer/seafile PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 >
configure_libsearpc_out
./configure: line 11272: test: =: unary operator expected

strayer@valaskjalf libsearpc % make install > make_install_libsearpc_out
libtool: install: warning: relinking `libsearpc.la'

Then, when compiling ccnet, this happens:

strayer@valaskjalf ccnet %
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/strayer/seafile/lib/pkgconfig ./configure
--disable-client --enable-server PYTHON=/usr/bin/python2.7 >
configure_ccnet_out
strayer@valaskjalf ccnet % LANG="" make > make_ccnet_out

I'm pretty sure this didn't happen when I compiled libsearpc without a
prefix.

I can't say if I just don't use automake correctly, maybe someone can give
me a headsup.

Thanks,

Thanks for reporting. We will look into the problem when we have time.

Hi,

This still happens when compiling 3.0.3 from source (Debian Stable on armv5el).

It seems that this header file is not included in the libsearpc-server package, only in the libsearpc package, in the demo/ and tests/ folders. As a quick hack, copying it from libsearpc-3.0.3/demo/searpc-signature.h (as well as libsearpc-3.0.3/demo/searpc-marshal.h that has a similar issue) to ${PREFIX}/include fixes the problem.

Cheers,
