Compilation fails at 100%

Compiling openspades [v0.1.0] on my laptop [elementary OS 0.4 Loki (64-bit)] [Dual-Core Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU P8800 @ 2.66GHz] [Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07)]

Compilation fails at 100%

I see its an issue with linking. Is there a way to overcome this?

Installing libtiff4 by using a command like sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev might fix this (according to this).

[roadapathy]

That should fix it OR if you didn't compile SDL2_Image with the right options like I did, you'll get this error. SDL2_image holds a lot of the JPEG, PNG, TIFF sort of features that Openspades seems to depend on.

OR, if you compiled it yourself but cmake isn't finding it for whatever reason, same error.

[ssriram]

Looks like both SDL and libtiff are installed by default. May be a different version is required?

$ sudo apt list --installed | egrep "sdl|tiff"

WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface. Use with caution in scripts.

I remember successfully compiling OpenSpades on elementary OS 0.4 some time ago without any need for external downloads, so perhaps it's a missing apt dependency.

Please try to run this command and rebuild OpenSpades:

sudo apt-get install pkg-config libglew-dev libcurl3-openssl-dev libsdl2-dev libsdl2-image-dev libalut-dev xdg-utils libfreetype6-dev libopus-dev libopusfile-dev libjpeg-dev libxinerama-dev libxft-dev

Don't forget to sudo rm -rf /usr/local/share/games/openspades before doing the sudo make install step.

If that still doesn't solve your problem, read the text below:

Ubuntu completely dropped libtiff4 support 3 years ago in favor of libtiff5 and is now only available using this .deb package, as mentioned here. Please try to install this package (using dpkg,gdebi or any similar tool) and rebuild OpenSpades (again).

[roadapathy]

You need the .dev files of SDL2, I believe. If you're compiling Openspades, you need .dev of almost everything- SDL2-2xxxx.dev, SDL2_Image.dev.

Any update on this?

[feikname]

There have been no updates on this issue for 5 months, so I will close it.

@ssriram if the issue still persists, please re-open this issue.
