Fix Linux build errors about frequensea

[fdb]

Hi Yuval,

I’m kinda busy today, but I’ll try to get a Linux box so I can test this properly. PRs are also welcome :-)

Best,

F

I see some other errors popping up as well. I'll try to send some patches your way :)

[altercation]

Were there any patches for this issue? I'm hitting the same problem under Arch.

[fdb]

@yuvadm has posted a PR which solves some of the first errors. I still have to find the time to get everything working.

I'll try to do this next week.

[fdb]

Using the current master, Frequensea should now build (although not without warnings, most of them caused by including the GLFW source).

However, on my testing machine (Chromebook with Ubuntu 14.04) only the ../lua/empty.lua script works correctly. This has probably to do with support for OpenGL ES. Somebody with a OpenGL Desktop system, please test this.

Getting:

Confirming identical result as @yuvadm here (building on arch surface pro 3)

[yuvadm]

Per http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14415465/why-do-i-get-in-my-timespec-array-the-error-array-type-has-incomplete-element-t this should fix the problem:

#if __STDC_VERSION__ >= 199901L
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 600
#else
#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500
#endif /* __STDC_VERSION__ */
#include <time.h>

However the error, and even the warning about implicit use of nanosleep, still exist. Is there some other time.h in use here?

[fdb]

I found out that I already fixed the issue in nrf.c -- so I moved the implementation to the nut utility module. The code should build now.

Since the code also includes glfw as externals, it tries to build GLFW's examples and fails. However, the frequensea binary should still build.

[yuvadm]

@fdb awesome! Is there any way to disable the GLFW examples? Locally it's fine, but I can't package something that fails a build. If it's not required I'd just like to disable it.

[yuvadm]

I'm also getting this:

$ ./frequensea ../lua/empty.lua 
GLFW ERROR 65543: GLX: Failed to create context: GLXBadFBConfig

Happens on all the scripts. Here's my glxinfo https://gist.github.com/yuvadm/1a5c870ef0a406039281

[fdb]

Hmm have you been able to run other OpenGL stuff? Do you have other apps that use GLFW?

Maybe I should switch back to the GLFW packaged release. I believe Arch has a recent GLFW 3 package, no?

[yuvadm]

@fdb yes, there's no reason to bundle GLFW, any proper distribution should have it packaged separately. If you do decide to keep it, at least provide a flag for package maintainers to disable it.

As for other OpenGL stuff, I'll test some more and see what I come up with.

[fdb]

@yuvadm you're right, of course. I did this because Ubuntu 14.04 doesn't have GLFW3 in its repository, only GLFW2.

[fdb]

I removed GLFW3 from source and uses the one that should be pre-installed. I had to use pkg-config to include all relevant X11 libraries.

[fdb]

As for the GLXBadFBConfig, it's because you're using OpenGL 2.1 (Mesa) drivers. We require at least OpenGL 3.2 (See nwm.c).

Depending on your video card, proprietary drivers might include a more recent version of OpenGL.

[yuvadm]

@fdb build seems to finish successfully, thanks for the updates! I'll go ahead and test on a machine with better OpenGL support.

I think we can close this issue now that all build errors are resolved.

[altercation]

Package builds under arch but I get an immediate segfault when running frequensea on any of the test lua files. I'll investigate further as well. OpenGL supported fine on this machine so there's something else happening. Any tips on diagnosing or information I can provide?

Here's relevant info from glxinfo dump:

Try running using gdb:

gdb --args ./frequensea ../lua/static.lua
> run
> backtrace full

Thanks for helping me debug this issue!
