Problems with building SFML 2.0 on Debian Sid

[fatum]

I'm trying to build SFML 2.0 on Debian Sid.

Here are the errors that I'm getting:

Code: [Select]


tim@debian:~/Downloads/LaurentGomila-SFML-8868350$ make
[ 14%] Built target sfml-system
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libGL.so', needed by `lib/libsfml-window.so.2.0'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [src/SFML/Window/CMakeFiles/sfml-window.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2


Obviously I assume it has something to do with libGL, but I'm not entirely sure how I could go about resolving this issue.

What could any potential issues be?

Clear your CMake cache and retry.

Clear your CMake cache and retry.

Thanks for your reply!

However, I cleared the cache earlier, but the outcome was the same.  I just tried again, but I'm still experiencing the same problem.

I had a similar issue yesterday:

make[2]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « /usr/lib/libXrandr.so », nécessaire pour « lib/libsfml-window.so.2.0 ».

And I'm pretty sure that I solved it by clearing the cache. I also moved from Debian stable to sid, and made a lot of upgrades, so I'm not 100% sure of what I did.

Anyway, the latest revision now compiles fine on my Debian.

Hmm, it seems that the libGL symlink is broken.  I'm not entirely sure what to make out of this, however I've been able to determine this by using:

Code: [Select]


tim@debian:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ file libGL.so
libGL.so: broken symbolic link to `libGL.so.1'
tim@debian:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu$ cd ..
tim@debian:/usr/lib$ file libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1: symbolic link to `libGL.so.290.10'

I had a similar issue yesterday:

make[2]: *** Pas de règle pour fabriquer la cible « /usr/lib/libXrandr.so », nécessaire pour « lib/libsfml-window.so.2.0 ».

Your issue was probably more serious, because you somehow managed to get the make utility output some random gibberish instead of an error message

I am experiencing the same problem:

Code: [Select]

[ 18%] Built target sfml-system

checking files:

Code: [Select]


$ file libGL.so
libGL.so: broken symbolic link to `mesa/libGL.so'
$ file mesa/libGL.so
mesa/libGL.so: broken symbolic link to `libGL.so.1'
$ file libGL.so.1
libGL.so.1: symbolic link to `libGL.so.285.05.09'
$ file libGL.so.285.05.09
libGL.so.285.05.09: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, stripped


deleting and recreating the /usr/lib/mesa/libGL.so symbolic link fixed the problem. I just finished building.
