RHEL 4 Workstation Build
Building on Redhat Entrprise Linux 4 appears to be very straight forward; this assumed that your RHEL4 installation has the standard development tools installed i.e. gcc, pkgconfig, etc.
This has only been tested on RHEL 4 Server. This document is a work in progress feel free to help out!
openlibraries
- checkout: svn co https://openlibraries.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/openlibraries openlibraries
dependencies
- for most of the includes needed you should use the dag repository to get the dependencies
- see http://dag.linux.iastate.edu
- follow the instructions under Configuring up2date To Use This Repository and dont forget to Install Dag's GPG Key
- main dependencies
- boost: probably installed already, install with up2date -i boost-devel
- SDL: probably installed already, install with up2date -i SDL-devel
- python: probably installed already, install with up2date -i python (note, uses python 2.4)
- optional dependencies (we advise you fill them all)
- ffmpeg (see below)
- GLEW: install with up2date -i glew-devel
- OpenAL: install with up2date -i openal-devel
- GLUT: install with sudo up2date -i freeglut-devel
- openEXR: install with sudo up2date -i openexr-devel
FFMPEG
- ffmpeg
- get the latest ffmpeg from svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
- if you want full media supprt you need to get the dependencies
- lame, faac, faad2 can be retrieved from dag:
- sudo up2date -i faac-devel.i386
- sudo up2date -i faad2-devel.i386
- sudo up2date -i lame-devel.i386
- amr
- you can get the amrnb dev package with
- sudo up2date -i amrnb-dedvel
- to get both requires manual build and install:
- get tarballs for both nb and wb from here: http://www.penguin.cz/~utx/amr
- unzip, untar, for both (current versions 7.0.0) no problems building
- for both do: ./configure, make, sudo make install
- you can get the amrnb dev package with
- lame, faac, faad2 can be retrieved from dag:
- configure with:
- ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --disable-vhook --enable-libamr-nb --enable-libamr-wb --enable-libmp3lame --enable-libfaad
- note that for FAAD2 support you rneed to add --enable-gpl and for libamr you need to add --enable-nonfree
- BREAK!!!
- i was unable to get past here due to ffmpeg error:
- Unable to create and execute files in /tmp. Set the TMPDIR environment
- http://forum.dreamhosters.com/troubleshooting/58294-FFmpeg-on-my-account.htm
- http://www.catmindeye.com/media/2006/07/installing_ffmpeg_on_dreamhost.html
- BREAK!!!
- i did up2date -i ffmpeg | up2date -i ffmpeg-devel
- but this is a cheat we should build from source
- BREAK!!!
- i was unable to compile with faac/faad support, even though it was intalled ffmepg couldnt locate it and so I had to disable it
- make, sudo make install
compiling openlibraries
- configure openlibraries
- ./bootstrap
- configure:
- export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
- ./configure --enable-gpl --with-pythonversion=2.4
- make, sudo make install
SE Linux
- This is currently untested
- if you have SELinux enabled, then you will need to modify the openlibraries .so to allow text relocation. This can be done as follows:
- sudo find /usr/local/lib/ -name '*.so*' -exec chcon -t texrel_shlib_t {} \;
- i got context errors so i did this
- sudo find /usr/local/lib/ -name '*.so*' -exec chcon -R -h root:object_r:texrel_shlib_t {} \;
- chcon -h system_u:object_r:texrel_shlib_t /usr/local/lib
- if you have SELinux enabled, then you will need to modify the openlibraries .so to allow text relocation. This can be done as follows:
developer debug notes
when building openlibraries I kept getting a boost error in openpluginlib when using the mt option to build openlibraries --with-boostthreadruntime=mt and so ommited it from the configure statement above. this is the error
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread-mt
python notes
you will need to set your PYTHONPATH properly you need to add /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages to PYTHONPATH
also for some reason openobjectlib didnt build the py version and so diditn copy into site packages
