[scilab-Users] Compilation of Scilab under Slackware 64 13 fails... clock_gettime issue...

Wed Nov 25 14:13:13 CET 2009

Hi Laurent

I Have tried to compile the SlackBuild for Scilab
http://repository.slacky.eu/slackware-12.2/scientific/scilab/5.1  from
Slacky e.u. for x64 arch under Slackware;

I Have manually download the packages, to an USB disk because my Slackware
machine does not have www connection, and I have changed the slackbuild to
use the tarballs, instead of downloading them, as well as to build for
x86_64 arch ( Slackware 12.2 is 32 bits );

Also made some changes as to use gfortran, and about the location of ant.

The external prerequirements are all set up : pvm, lapack, blas, umfpack,
metis, jdk, ocaml, fftw3, ant. ( there are slackbulds for them too, either
for SL 12.2, or for SL 13...) .

this is the Slackbuild as I changed it...:

My changes are between comment lines....;

Anyway, the script, identifies the packages, untar them, and configures.

When it reaches the build phase, it complains in the same place, the
../libs/MALLOC thing, not finding some object to link with... and it is all
about some mv -f something...

I do not have the detailed log, I teft it at my home PC, but I will bring
this tomorrow...

Is This error reproducible...?

I will post this problem to the Slackware forum in LinuxQuestions, but one
thing puzzles me though... this happened in a freshly untared source tree,
in a fresh install of Slackware 64 13 with the default options...

The only things I changed were :

The prerequirements ( as Slackbuilds ) to install GMSH, Paraview, Gnumeric,
and Octave/QtOctave, ( all standard to SL 13 ) and I downgraded Python 2.6.2
to Python 2.5.2 using a Slackware 12.1 Slackbuild, to allow me to build Code
Aster ( which calls for Python 2.5 ) And I upgraded Mesa to <current> to
allow me to use BRL CAD with Raytracing features

Do you think that any of these things may have contributed to Scilab not
properly building... ?

I mean... I can use src2pkg ( a Slackware build system ) to build cmake
projects, as well as "configure make install" build systems... why does
Scilab fails....   ?   :-(
