Trying to compile 0ad nightly-build – Debian Bookworm

[zyli]

The page https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructionsGettingTheCode is outdated due to migration to gitea. 
I used the description: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/NightlyBuild

What did I do?

I created the '0ad' directory and in it as a user I issued the command:

svn checkout https://svn.wildfiregames.com/nightly-build/trunk

At the end of the download there is information: "At revision 46.".

A 'trunk' directory was created which takes up about 14 GB.

There is, among other things, a 'pyrogenesis.exe' file in the 'trunk/binaries/system/' directory.

After copying the 'binaries/' directory with its contents to a pendrive (exfat) and connecting it to a Windows laptop, the game starts correctly.
There is information in the lower left corner: "26 Sept 2024 (main,eb3f0)".

Well, yes, but I want to run it on Debian.

Now I followed the instructions according to: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions which is identical to: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/BuildInstructions 

I checked the dependencies – they were all there. There was too much free space on the disk.

On this system, before the migration to gitea, I compiled 0.0.27 beta from time to time - so there was no need to install anything.

Next instructions:

cd trunk/build/workspaces

The files 'clean-workspaces.sh' and 'update-workspaces.sh' did not have the executable attribute, for this:

chmod +x clean-workspaces.sh
chmod +x update-workspaces.sh

The file 'clean-workspaces.sh' informs that: "This script is deprecated and might be removed in a future release."

I run:

./update-workspaces.sh

I get info: "./update-workspaces.sh: 76: ./build.sh: Permission denied ERROR: Premake 5 build failed"

I check:

ls -al ../premake/build.sh

There is: '-rw-r--r--'

Therefore:

chmod +x ../premake/build.sh

Now again:

./update-workspaces.sh

It went well – no comments.

But in my opinion it lasted too short.

After comparing what the './update-workspaces.sh' command printed now with my build records from before the migration (e.g. rel. 28201) I can see that compilation did not occur:
1. FCollada
2. mozjs-91.13.1
3. NVTT
and maybe others.
Hence the short time the './update-workspaces.sh' command has to work.

But I go further: 

cd gcc 
make 

I receive:

==== Building mocks_real (release) ====
Creating obj/mocks_real_Release
mocks_real.cpp
In file included from ../../../source/mocks/mocks_real.cpp:29:
../../../source/mocks/dlfcn.h:19:10: fatal error: cxxtest/Mock.h: No such file or directory

compilation terminated.
make[1]: *** [mocks_real.make:129: obj/mocks_real_Release/mocks_real.o] Error 1
make: *** [Makefile:163: mocks_real] Error 2

The command 'make clean' and then 'make' again did not helps.

What did I do wrong?

Postscriptum
Until the migration I was compiling 0.0.27 beta quite regularly and had no problems with it.
Due to Debian a small correction had to be made: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/104500-0ad-svn-error-spidermonkey-build-failed/page/2/#comment-541019
'hyperion' – thanks again.

@Itms does the executable flags transfer when you make the nightly from the git ?

@zyli you forgot to run this script https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/src/branch/main/libraries/build-source-libs.sh

Which build spidermonkey, fcollada, nvtt and cxxtests.

[zyli]

Thanks Stan – it worked.

But ...

I found the file 'build-source-libs.sh' in the 'trunk/libraries/' directory.

It didn't have the executable attribute, so:

cd libraries/
chmod +x build-source-libs.sh

Now:

./build-source-libs.sh

I got the message:

Building third-party dependencies...

./build-source-libs.sh: 58: ./source/cxxtest-4.4/build.sh: Permission denied
ERROR: cxxtest build failed

It turned out that there are five subdirectories in the 'trunk/libraries/source/' directory:

cxxtest-4.4
fcollada
nvtt
spidermonkey
spirv-reflect

and in each of them there is a file 'build.sh' without the executable attribute.

So:

chmod +x source/cxxtest-4.4/build.sh
chmod +x source/fcollada/build.sh
chmod +x source/nvtt/build.sh
chmod +x source/spidermonkey/build.sh
chmod +x source/spirv-reflect/build.sh

Now only:

./build-source-libs.sh

I read that version 28209 was downloaded.
I think the file 'source/spirv-reflect/build.sh' was not used, because running './build-source-libs.sh' again gives the result:

Building third-party dependencies...
cxxtest-4.4 is already up to date.
FCollada is already up to date.
NVTT is already up to date.
Spidermonkey is already up to date.
Done.

I'm going further.

cd ../build/workspaces/
./update-workspaces.sh

It took a very short time – apparently it had already been built with the previously issued './update-workspaces.sh' command.

Now:

cd gcc
make

It built without errors.

Now

cd ../../..
cd binaries/system/
./test

I see: "Running cxxtest tests (407 tests)...OK!"

It's fine, so:

./pyrogenesis

The game has started.

In the lower left corner is: "6 Oct 2024 (main,eb3f0)".
It works correctly.

Summary of what I did (required dependencies are installed).

svn checkout https://svn.wildfiregames.com/nightly-build/trunk
cd trunk/libraries/
chmod +x build-source-libs.sh
chmod +x source/cxxtest-4.4/build.sh
chmod +x source/fcollada/build.sh
chmod +x source/nvtt/build.sh
chmod +x source/spidermonkey/build.sh
chmod +x source/spirv-reflect/build.sh
./build-source-libs.sh
cd ../build/workspaces/
./update-workspaces.sh
cd gcc
make
cd ../../..
cd binaries/system/
./test
./pyrogenesis

Thanks again.

But every solution raises new questions.

1. The version number used to be trivial (e.g. 28177). Now I get:
a) "At revision 46." – 'svn checkout https://svn.wildfiregames.com/nightly-build/trunk
b)"28209" – './build-source-libs.sh' (cxxtest-4.4)
c) "eb3f0" – after starting the game (bottom left corner).
Which one is important? Is "eb3f0" some hash or a consecutive number?

2. During the update ('svn update') before issuing the command './build-source-libs.sh', should I issue the command 'clean-source-libs.sh'.
I think so, but do I need to re-assign the executable attribute (chmod +x) to the 'build.sh' files in the cxxtest-4.4, fcollada, nvtt, spidermonkey, spirv-reflect subdirectories?

3. I understand that the 'clean-workspaces.sh' command ('build-wokspaces' directory) is deprecated and we don't use it anymore?

Postscriptum
I didn't have to use 'SETUPTOOLS_USE_DISTUTILS=stdlib ./update-workspaces.sh'
https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/104500-0ad-svn-error-spidermonkey-build-failed/page/2/#comment-541019
Just the command './update-workspaces.sh' (also './build-source-libs.sh') worked fine.

Best regards.

The nightly-build repo is meant to provide Windows users a prebuilt binary. I doubt it was anticipated that someone would use it to build pyrogenesis. Some scripts expect to be living in a git repo. Check https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/BuildInstructionsGettingTheCode

No, they don't, and I don't have a good idea to do that properly/automatically.

1.a) that's the 46th nightly build. That number doesn't mean much

1.b) That's the number you were used to.

1.c) That's the current commit hash, of the now official repo at https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad the new repository using git.

2. No unless everything is failing. You probably don't need to assign +x again as that command doesn't do svn reverting AFAIK.

3. I think so.

Two days have passed - time to write how the update went.

In short:
Everything went very smoothly and without any comments.

First, the 

nproc

command - I got the number "20"

I did the following:

cd trunk/
svn update
cd libraries/
./build-source-libs.sh -j20
cd ../build/workspaces/
./update-workspaces.sh -j20
cd gcc
make -j20
cd ../../..
cd binaries/system/
./test
./pyrogenesis

The 'svn update' command printed at the end: "At revision 48." - two numbers more.
The './build-source-libs.sh' command did not print any number, only the information that: "cxxtest-4.4, FCollada, NVTT, Spidermonkey is already up to date."

After starting the game, in the lower left corner there is an inscription: "Oct 6 2024, (main, f9ad0)"

Thanks again for your help.
Regards.
