Is there any latest update or version of ProviewR for Opensuse 64bit?
If not, I would like to give it a try by compiling a version for OpenSuse Tumbleweed.
I have reviewed some version of the 32 bit and how to compile it to 64bit but I have not been successful.
Any ideas how to get started?

Hi Felipe,

I managed to build on opensuse but I had to do some modifications in src/tools/pwre/src/pwre_configure.sh, mainly change the search way for archives from /usr/lib to /usr/lib64, and also a fix for libdb-4.8, see attached file (had to change to .txt to attach it).

Packages installed:

make gcc gcc-c++ alsa-devel gtk2-devel libdb-4_8 libdb-4_8-devel rpcsvc-proto-devel libX11-devel doxygen

I used the stable branch that can be downloaded from github with

git clone -b stable https::/github.com/siamect/proview.git

but I think any recent version would work.

Dear Claes,

Thank you for your advise and guidance.

I did follow the steps outlined on your last email.

First, I verified that all the packages were install. All checked

As suggested, downloaded the stable branch from github.

I saved my pwre_configure.sh as an old version pwre_configure_old.sh and used your version as the new pwre_configure.sh

Run make

Attached you will see the first result of my compilation.

I copied as much as I could to a text file.

At the end of the file you will see two warnings and one Fatal Error.

I am not sure what I am missing.

Hope you have a minute or two to review the info and give me a hand.




Look forward to hear from you.

Regards,

Felipe

Hi Felipe,

You are missing the file /usr/include/rpc/rpc.h.
I got this file when I installed gcc (running OpenSuse Leap 15.2). See if you can find rpc.h somewhere else. There is a newer version called tirpc and maybe this is installed instead.

Dear Claes,

Very interesting. Just for you reference I am running Opensuse Tumbleweed.

I will check and get the file rpc.h

Thank you

Regards

Felipe

Dear Claes,

I was able to find the rpc.h file on one of my laptops with Leap 15.2, copied the file to as you mentioned.

I think the issue of rpc.h is gone.

Please look at the end of the attached file and see what you think with new challenge.

Regards,

Felipe
