Re: [Discuss-gnuradio] [PyBOMBS] pre-2.1.0 release testing on CentOS 7

[Eric Statzer]

Hmm, nope thrift is not building successfully.  I guess the failure was masked since thrift is an "optional" package.  I get the error:

        ./configure: line 17775: syntax error near unexpected token `QT,'

        ./configure: line 17775: `    PKG_CHECK_MODULES(QT, QtCore >= 4.3, QtNetwork >= 4.3, have_qt=yes, have_qt=no)'

which is actually an issue with the version of pkg-config on CentOS 7:

        $ pkg-config --version

        0.27.1

Everyone should get a kick out of this: I had fixed this once before [1] but it was actually YOU, Marcus, that broke it again! [2]

I'll revisit the pkg-config version issue again.  I think it was just the libtool version of commit 489762b that was causing heartburn (with Ubuntu 14.04, if I recall).  I agree that the version requirement of libtool was probably over-specced, but it looks like we still need pkg-config >= 2.8.

A change like this will probably require regression testing on the major distros, do we want to wade in to the dangerous waters of identifying what those distros are?  I guess I'm willing to set up docker images (like [3], which I need to update to install as a non-root user) to test Ubuntu 16.04/14.04 and CentOS 7.  If there are other distros we want to hit we might need another volunteer.

Hi Eric,

out of curiosity, since I can't do that on my clean CentOS 7 machines: have you managed to get thrift to build on a clean installation?

Best regards,
Marcus

In continuation of Martin's thread from last month [1], this is an update on testing of the "pybombs prefix init ~/path/to/prefix -R gnuradio-default" on a CentOS 7 host.

I submitted a pull request [2] to address an issue with building pyqwt5 on CentOS 7.  I haven't tested the change in my Docker farm yet, but I wanted to get the change out there to prompt discussion.  At this point, I'm not sure if any other common distros (Ubuntu 14.04?) build pyqwt5 from source, but I'm willing to add some more Docker containers to my Docker farm to do some regression testing on this if someone can confirm that this change is not limited to CentOS 7***.

I ran in to one other issue a couple weeks ago with building libosmo-dsp on CentOS 7.  The issue was related to trying to use a non-system version of automake to run autoreconf with the "-i" flag, but I'm unable to reproduce the issue now (go figure), so I need to do some more poking around.

Thanks,

Eric

*** On a side note, CentOS 7 is now available to me as a viable option, so I'm done fighting with CentOS 6.
