First steps on OpenSuse using C::B and OF

wally · September 18, 2009, 7:33am

I wonder if it is possible to do some first steps with openFrameworks on a OpenSuse installation using already installed C::B.

OpenSuse 11.1
of_preRelease_v0.06_linux_cb_FAT
codeblocks r5794

First error i got on building an example project:

“cannot find -lgstvideo-0.10”

the package gstreamer-0_10-plugins-base-devel-0.10.21-2.21.2 is installed.

/usr/lib/libgstvideo-0.10.la
/usr/lib/libgstvideo-0.10.so

also C::B does not report missing libs.

I tried to install all recommended packages mentioned in the install_dependencies.sh
from the fedora folder. Except libXxf86vm-devel and rpmfusion i was able to install all from my repositories.

All ideas, hints and help is highly welcome.

cheers wally

Don’t know if it can help but I wrote cmake files to make of build easier. CMake can generate cbp or makefiles. http://github.com/dopuskh3/ofx-cmake-build

Did you check your PKG_CONFIG_PATH is correctly set (where *.pc files stands, usually /usr/lib/pkgconfig/ ) ? Gstreamer use pkgconfig (pkg-config --libs --cflags gstreamer-0.10) to get all compile and link flags.

I don’t use OpenSuse but on my distro i had to install gtreamer-*-0.10, libavcodec, libavformat, libswscale.

Regards,
F.

hi wally

try opening a console and typing:

  
locate libgstvideo-0.10

if you get nothing then you need to install some package related to gstreamer video, don’t know very well open suse so can’t tell you what tool to use.

in case locate returns something, can you try also:

  
pkg-config --libs gstreamer-video-0.10

and post the output of both commands

You may try:

  
 ldconfig -v | grep gstvideo

Are you using the provided Makefile.linux. You may try with this one too and see if your problem is c::b related.

Are you using the provided Makefile.linux. You may try with this one too and see if your problem is c::b related.

I just open the *.cbp project file and try to build.
I do not have a Makefile.linux , maybe just a “Makefile” because i downloaded the Linux Package “of_preRelease_v0.06_linux_cb_FAT”

arturo · September 18, 2009, 9:29am

i think the problem is you don’t have the devel package for gstvideo, try searching it in your package admin tool. if you can’t find it can be solved just by creating a soft link to the library:

  
su -  
cd /usr/lib  
ln -s libgstvideo-0.10.so.0 libgstvideo-0.10.so

wally · September 18, 2009, 9:44am

seems all is aready OK:

op@baldur:~> cd /usr/lib
op@baldur:/usr/lib> ls |grep gstvideo
libgstvideo-0.10.la
libgstvideo-0.10.so
libgstvideo-0.10.so.0
libgstvideo-0.10.so.0.16.0
op@baldur:/usr/lib>

issuing a “make” in the project folder, without using C::B gives the same resault:

–snip

can you do:

ls -la /usr/lib/libgstvideo*

don’t know why but the .so softlink is pointing to a non existent file, to solve it:

su -
cd /usr/lib
rm libgstvideo-0.10.so
ln -s libgstvideo-0.10.so.0 libgstvideo-0.10.so

wally · September 18, 2009, 11:25am

Hello arturo,

now it works, thanks for help,
i did not notice that it points to *15 instead of *16

By the way, the “FAT” in the package name means that it is a large package
and has nothing to do with File Allocation Table, right ?

I want to make a LogicAnalyzer using a MikroController, hope i can do the GUI with OF.

cheers wally

arturo · September 18, 2009, 11:39am

yes, fat means it has all the addons.

have fun!
