I have a .spec file that is used to package two different versions of the a software. In the newer version of this software, there is a new directory (etc/scripts) that rpmbuild complains about not being included. I have included that with
%defattr(-,%karaf_user,%karaf_group,-)
%_karaf_path/etc/scripts
and this makes it work. Now when building the older version of this software, rpmbuild complains that the directory doesn't exist. Is there a way to make this directory optional, so rpmbuild includes it if it's there and ignores if not?
So far I've tried with %config(missingok) but that didn't work unfortunately.
You may use a conditional block like:
%defattr(-,%karaf_user,%karaf_group,-)
%if %{version} >= <1st-version-where-the-file-exists>
%_karaf_path/etc/scripts
%endif

I am a little bit confused on how to efficiently prepare the R package, so that it will be compatible across all needed system platforms. This is needed so that the new version of package will be accepted by CRAN. The main difficulty comes from compiling external C++ shared library, and optionally CUDA version if the compiler is available. To support this flow I've created specific Makefile, unfortunately using GNU-extensions. It works fine on Linux, OSX and when executed manually via gmake on Solaris. Relevant part is here:
# Checking whether nvcc compiler is available
NVCC_TEST = $(shell basename $(shell which nvcc 2> /dev/null)"")
ifeq ($(NVCC_TEST),nvcc)
ALL_LIBS += libcucubes_gpu.so
ALL_OBJS += $(GPU_OBJS)
ALL_FLAGS += $(GPU_FLAGS)
else
ALL_OBJS += gpu_fallback.o
endif
Turns out that, when running R CMD INSTALL (...) on Solaris, the installation fails on something like this:
make: Fatal error in reader: Makefile, line 39: Unexpected end of line seen
ERROR: compilation failed for package 'libcucubes'
As it turns out, it is caused by the fact that Solaris' version of make is executed instead of GNU-compatible gmake (I've tested it works fine), even though it is available. My question is whether there is any simple way to force usage of gmake here, for the R package build. In general I know I could use autotools to solve compatibility issues during installation, but it seems to bring too much complexity for that simple case. Any advices will be really appreciated, thanks!
If you can't get your build process to use gmake instead of Solaris's pure POSIX make, you can use this hack:
Make a dedicated directory for this hack: mkdir $HOME/make_hack
Softlink gmake asmakein that directory: ln -s /path/to/gmake $HOME/make_hack/make
Set your PATH: PATH=$HOME/make_hack:$PATH
Now, run your build process using that PATH, and it should use gmake. Hopefully it just uses make from its PATH envval and not some hardcoded full path.
Yeah, it's a hack. But it's probably a lot easier than modifying the build process to use gmake instead of make.
From Writing R Extensions:
If you really must require GNU make, declare it in the DESCRIPTION
file by
SystemRequirements: GNU make
and ensure that you use the value of environment variable MAKE (and
not just make) in your scripts.
configure scripts are the preferred solution though. BTW, in general a Makevars file is also preferred over a full Makefile.
I'm trying to get PyQt5 working with WinPython. PyQt5 comes with a readme file for installation, and I have unsuccessfully tried a few combinations of what I thought the first part of the readme tells me to do.
I have:
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1
Qt 5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4
PyQt-gpl-5.4 is in the folder (only partially sure that this is where I should have put it)
C:\WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1\python-2.7.9.amd64\Lib\site-packages\PyQt-gpl-5.4
My current attempt at getting everything working is: I'm trying to run the configure.py file in PyQt-gpl-5.4, but when I do so I consistently get the following error:
Error: PyQt5 requires Qt v5.0 or later. You seem to be using v4.8.6.
Make sure the correct version of qmake is on your PATH.
What I think is the required version of qmake being referred to is in the folder
C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
However, I have no idea how to fix the error by adding the qmake in this folder to PATH. My most recent attempt was to add the folder using Spyder's Tools->PYTHONPATH manager, but this made no difference. I also tried adding it using sys.path.append('C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin'), but this didn't work either. I have since removed the folder name from both of these locations.
How do I get PyQt5 working with WinPython-64bit-2.7.9.1, or I think equivalently, how to I get the configure.py file in the PyQt-gpl-5.4 folder to run?
Thanks.
You definitely don't want the source code (i.e. PyQt-gpl-5.4) in the site-packages folder, because that's where the compiled modules will end up. Instead, it should just go in a temporary folder whilst you compile it.
When you run configure.py, you must take care to use the executable for the specific python that you are targeting. I do not know anything about WinPython, but for a normal python installation this means doing something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py
As a first step, before attempting to actually compile anything, it would be advisable to take at look at all the configuration options that are available, like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --help
(There's also the Installing PyQt5 section in the PyQt Docs).
This will tell you, for instance, that the simplest way to specify the Qt installation you are targeting would be something like this:
C:\Python34\python configure.py --qmake C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin\qmake
EDIT:
Sorry, that last part is wrong: the --qmake option isn't available on Windows, so you have to add the directory containing the qmake executable to your PATH. This can be done with the following command:
set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Qt\5.4\mingw491_32\bin
When compiling with -fsanitize=memory I get WARNING: Trying to symbolize code, but external symbolizer is not initialized! when running the program. How do I initialize the external symbolizer?
I solved my own problem using MSAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=$(which llvm-symbolizer-3.4) ./a.out. The problem is that Ubuntu postfixes the version number but the binary doesn't know that. Of course you need to use MSAN instead of ASAN when using the memory sanitizer.
You are supposed to be able to set the ASAN_FILTER environment variable to point at a symbolizer, but I could not get it to work. However, you can redirect stderr into a symbolizer after the fact. You'll still get the warnings about the uninitialized symbolizer, but the filenames and line numbers will be correct.
You can use asan_symbolizer.py as the external symbolizer. After downloading it from that link (to /tmp, for example), invoke your program like so (in bash, for this example):
./myprogram 2>&1 | /tmp/asan_symbolize.py | c++filt
On my Ubuntu system, the issue is that LLVM's tools are installed under /usr/bin with version suffixes (like llvm-symbolizer-4.0), and the sanitizer tools are looking for them without version suffixes.
LLVM also installs its binaries to, e.g., /usr/lib/llvm-4.0/bin; the tools under /usr/bin are actually just symlinks. So an easy solution is to add the appropriate /usr/lib/llvm-*/bin directory to your path when working with sanitizers.
I received such warning when I run program debug version (compiled with -fsanitize=address) on Linux machine that didn't contain clang installation. The problem disappeared after I installed clang from devtoolset.
I am trying to compile Network.HTTP (http://hackage.haskell.org/package/network) on win32/cygwin. However, it does fail with following message:
Setup.hs: Missing dependency on a foreign library:
* Missing (or bad) header file: HsNet.h
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
If the header file does exist, it may contain errors that are caught by the C
compiler at the preprocessing stage. In this case you can re-run configure
with the verbosity flag -v3 to see the error messages.
Unfortuntely it does not give more clues. The HsNet.h includes sys/uio.h which, actually should not be included, and should be configurered correctly.
Don't use cygwin, instead follow Johan Tibells way
Installing MSYS
Install the latest Haskell Platform. Use the default settings.
Download version 1.0.11 of MSYS. You'll need the following files:
MSYS-1.0.11.exe
msysDTK-1.0.1.exe
msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz
The files are all hosted on haskell.org as they're quite hard to find in the official MinGW/MSYS repo.
Run MSYS-1.0.11.exe followed by msysDTK-1.0.1.exe. The former asks you if you want to run a normalization step. You can skip that.
Unpack msysCORE-1.0.11-bin.tar.gz into C:\msys\1.0. Note that you can't do that using an MSYS shell, because you can't overwrite the files in use, so make a copy of C:\msys\1.0, unpack it there, and then rename the copy back to C:\msys\1.0.
Add C:\Program Files\Haskell Platform\VERSION\mingw\bin to your PATH. This is neccesary if you ever want to build packages that use a configure script, like network, as configure scripts need access to a C compiler.
These steps are what Tibell uses to compile the Network package for win and I have used this myself successfully several times on most of the haskell platform releases.
It is possible to build network on win32/cygwin. And the above steps, though useful (by Jonke) may not be necessary.
While doing the configuration step, specify
runghc Setup.hs configure --configure-option="--build=mingw32"
So that the library is configured for mingw32, else you will get link or "undefined references" if you try to link or use network library.
This combined with #Yogesh Sajanikar's answer made it work for me (on win64/cygwin):
Make sure the gcc on your path is NOT the Mingw/Cygwin one, but the
C:\ghc\ghc-6.12.1\mingw\bin\gcc.exe
(Run
export PATH="/cygdrive/.../ghc-7.8.2/mingw/bin:$PATH"
before running cabal install network in the Cygwin shell)
Here is the situation:
fresh Plone 4.2 buildout
a fresh package created using Zopeskel 2.21.1 with template 'archetype'
and configured in my buildout using mr.developer
Trying to add some content types inside my package fails with:
[ajung#dev1 nva.aktionsmittel]$ bin/paster addcontent
Command 'addcontent' not known (you may need to run setup.py egg_info)
Running setup.py egg_info did not help.
setup.py contains:
setup.py: paster_plugins=["ZopeSkel"]
setup.cfg contains:
[zopeskel]
template = archetype
What is the magic behind the local commands in order to make "paster addcontent" working?
It worked in other contexts as it should?!
ZopeSkel 2 issues
You are following a bad tutorial. Please make sure that
You follow instructions specific here http://collective-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getstarted/paste.html#adding-zopeskel-to-your-buildout - paster command must come from buildout
If you are not following the link above then please give the link to the page whose instructions you are follow and I can burn that page as it contains misleading instructions.
Make sure that paster you are using comes from buildout (from your command line it doesn't seem to be so).
Make sure your egg is registered in buildout correctly in eggs =
section
Make sure your setup.py contains necessary boilerplate http://collective-docs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/getstarted/paste.html#how-paster-local-commands-work (note: example is ZopeSkel 3+)
This is the way to make paster aware of your egg and its dependencies correctly and thus local commands can work.
ZopeSkel 3 issue (seemingly unrelated)
There was a recent change in ZopeSkel, meaning that you if you use ZopeSkel 3+ you need to be in srcfolder when running the command.
See note here:
https://github.com/collective/templer.plone.localcommands/#executing-local-commands
In order for the paster localcommand to run, it must be called from the same directory that contains the .egg-info directory (or a child directory inside it). If pasterns unable to find the .egg-info directory, it cannot run a local command. Paster uses the location of the .egg-info directory to locate setup.cfg, which is then used to determine if any local command entry points are available.
Check to see that you have an .egg-info directory generated inside your package, and that you are invoking paster from the same location or a child folder.
