help building inkscape 0.48 on 11.0 - errno.h has no EINVAL or ERANGE defines?

[David C. Rankin]

Guys,

I'm trying to build inkscape 0.48 for an 11.0 box. The issue I'm running into
is errno.h on 11.0 doesn't contain EINVAL or ERANGE defines resulting in the
following build errors:

dir-util.cpp: In function ‘char* inkscape_rel2abs(const char*, const char*,
char*, size_t)’:
dir-util.cpp:114: error: ‘EINVAL’ was not declared in this scope
dir-util.cpp:180: error: ‘ERANGE’ was not declared in this scope
dir-util.cpp: In function ‘char* inkscape_abs2rel(const char*, const char*,
char*, size_t)’:
dir-util.cpp:201: error: ‘EINVAL’ was not declared in this scope
dir-util.cpp:251: error: ‘ERANGE’ was not declared in this scope
make[2]: *** [dir-util.o] Error 1

Seems like I should be able to work around this with:

#define EINVAL 22
#define ERANGE 34

but where to put them? dir-util.h? Modify the existing /usr/include/errno.h?
What say the build gurus?

No idea what inkscape is doing, I suggest you to use

osc getpac inkscape
osc build --alternative-project=DISCONTINUED:openSUSE:11.0:Update
--no-verify

and invoke your favorite $deity, to make it work, good luck ! ;-P

Err.. Looks like a glibc version issue (currently 2.8-14). Is there an easy way
to upgrade glibc from source?

In practise, not really, do that at your own risk.

Progress,

I can get dir-util.o to build by including the following in dir-util.cpp

#include <asm-generic/errno-base.h>

which looks like where the normal EINVAL and ERANGE defines are in 11.0. I can
get it to build for another 15 minutes or so, then I run into a bind/javabind.o
issue:

From googling, this seems to be the result of GCC moving limits.h and
syslimits.h to a new include-fixed directory

osc getpac inkscape

That's sort of what I had done. I tried 0.48 from 11.1, which ran until you
opened the fill/stroke dialog and then crashed with GTK the gtk error:

(inkscape:32136): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_get_uint: assertion
`G_VALUE_HOLDS_UINT (value)' failed
inkscape: symbol lookup error: inkscape: undefined symbol:
gtk_adjustment_set_page_increment

So, I had just downloaded and reinstalled 0.46 from:

http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/update/11.0/rpm/x86_64/

which worked fine.

Now that looks cool -- thanks. I'll give it a shot.

It's all good fun at this point. If it all goes south, then I'll just reinstall :p

That's the feeling I got. I thought about backing up /usr/include and giving it
a shot. If all else fails, then I'll cross my fingers and give it a shot.

And all this effort -- just to keep a working fglrx driver... However, not
having a working fglrx driver isn't an option. (radeon/radeonhd give less than
50% performance and dramatically increase the heat load on the laptop) I guess
it is getting close to new laptop time, but I hate adding good laptops to the
old-laptop stack. Especially when we are talking 17" displays, etc.. It just
seems wrong to call perfectly good P4 3.33 GHz and Turion-58 X86_64 based
laptops -- old. (Although I did move the P4 box to 11.3 and do get reasonable
performance - but nothing compared to the blazing performance with fglrx)
