Installation on CentOS 7

[s0600204]

Unless you specified an alternate install path, ./b2 install places the library under /usr/local/ (with the headers in ./include/boost and the compiled bits in ./lib)

(If you simply ran ./b2, then the compiled bits are in ./stage/lib respective to the b2 script, and you''ll have to copy things manually. It's probably best to use ./b2 install)

You might need to re-run update-workspaces.sh to register the correct files. The -mt suffix on the library names means that the libraries were compiled with multi-threading support. This appears to not be the default. Either way, update-workspaces.sh should find and link in the correct ones.

[gw1500se]

Woo-hoo! More progress. I keep forgetting to rerun that script. Anyway, I made it past pyrogenesis.

What version of WxWidgets do you have ?

Yeah it should be 3+

[s0600204]

EPEL provides wxGTK3-devel which should do the trick.

You may have to explicitly tell the build system to use version 3.0. The easiest way to do this is to open ./build/premake/external_libs5.lua and replace the two instances of wx-config with wx-config-3.0

Re-run update-workspaces.sh and then make in the appropriate folders.

[Guest]

You could also skip Atlas by passing the flag "--disable-atlas" to update-workspaces.sh

Something has happened to the epel repostiory as it is no longer accessible. (Cannot retrieve metalink for repository: epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again). I'm trying to contact the epel team to see what is wrong. In any case what is the significance of bypassing Atlas? How does that effect the game?

Atlas is the map editor. As long as you don't want to create or edit maps you should be fine without it

[gw1500se]

Arrrggggggh! Got past Atlas but now I'm back to a boost problem:

[Guest]

Atleast its just the tests. What matters would be finished. Could you run binaries/system/pyrogenesis without any issues?

[gw1500se]

I didn't play very long but, yes, it seems to work fine.

[gw1500se]

After a couple of hours of play I don't seem to find any problems other than me. :-) I am willing to give someone a login on my server if they want to create a CentOS 7 RPM. I've never messed with that.

I can't produce enough resources yet to keep up with more than 2 onslaughts and still get to town level. The third defeats me even on the very easy level. I don't like the fact that I cannot build any walls until town level. The older version allowed a wood stockade at village level but that seems to have been removed for some reason. But that is another thread.

Glad you got it working. It would be great if you could update the wiki with all the specific stuff you did and with directions to resources and dependencies etc. Then the  next person who comes along may have an easier time than you did 

[s0600204]

As we haven't heard back for a couple of weeks, I've played around with a virtual machine and put together something based on this thread and my own exploration. It can be found at https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions#CentOS. If the instructions are (or become) incorrect, please feel free to suggest corrections.

[gw1500se]

I've been pretty busy. I looked at the entry and the one thing that is missing is that gcc version 4.8.5 also needs to be manually installed as that is not available from the CentOS 7 repos.

With due respect, according to the list of packages on the CentOS 7 primary mirror, gcc 4.8.5 has been available since April 25th.

[gw1500se]

Sorry, my mistake. It needs version 5.8 or better.

Edited November 23, 2018 by gw1500se
Change requirement

[gw1500se]

Ignore previous. For some reason I cannot edit the text, it only lets me edit the reason.

In any case, the version of gcc needed is 7.2.1. devtoolset-7-gcc needs to be installed manually.

[s0600204]

Huh. On my VM, I was able to successfully compile the game with the provided gcc 4.8.5. And I did not have a package by the name of devtoolset-7-gcc (or similar) installed at all.

But if you're telling me that it is required for someone using a physical machine, then so be it.

Hello everybody,

I have followed the instructions over there :

Hello @skaiware, have you tried the fixes on the previous pages for boost ?

[skaiware]

I ve tried : 

./update-workspaces.sh --without-lobby  --without-tests --without-pch
cd gcc
make clean
make

but still the same linking issues with boost.

@stanislas69

are you speaking about the change to the pch file :

$ more ../../../source/lib/pch/pch_boost.h | grep -C 5 filesystem 
// v2 is deprecated since 1.46 and removed entirely in 1.50
# define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 3
#else
# define BOOST_FILESYSTEM_VERSION 2
#endif
#include <boost/filesystem.hpp>
namespace fs = boost::filesystem;
#endif  // #ifndef INCLUDED_PCH_BOOST
 

Is nt  --without-pch get rid of that ?

 

[s0600204]

Hi @skaiware, I'm having difficulty replicating your issue with my VM. I wonder if you could run a few things and report back the results?

1. What is the output when the following command is run?

   ld --verbose | grep SEARCH_DIR | tr -s '; ' '\n;

2. Could you provide the file pyrogenesis.make (from the folder ./build/workspaces/gcc/)?
3. Are you trying to compile A23 or the current svn head?

[skaiware]

Hello @s0600204

1 $ ld --verbose | grep SEARCH_DIR 
SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/x86_64-redhat-linux/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/local/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("=/lib64"); SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/x86_64-redhat-linux/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/local/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("=/lib"); SEARCH_DIR("=/usr/lib");

[s0600204]

Do you happen to have another version of boost installed on your system? Perhaps version 1.53?

Edit: Yeah, that appears to be it. I'm guessing at some point you've installed the boost-devel package from the CentOS repos. Unless you need this for compiling something else, I recommend you remove it. (If you do need it for compiling something else, then will that something compile with Boost 1.68, and if not - well, that's when things get interesting...)

Yep :

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 15592 Aug  2  2017 /usr/lib64/libboost_system.so.1.53.0
but I cannot uninstall it because needed it for some other softwares.

Should nt update-workspaces.sh  add -L/usr/local/lib  to the linking commands ?
