Hi all,

I'm moving a discussion between myself, Frans van Berckel and Nebojsa
Grujic to the dev list, where it should have been in the first place.

The issues generally are around problems making 1.4.0 beta packages under
Ubuntu Hardy. We've eliminated the dependency issues caused by Hardy's use
of updated packages, but along the way we've also discovered that Hardy
handles the PHP realpath directive differently than previous versions.
Hence the storage server is not installing correctly.

If you're interested, the last few tickets might give you a better idea of
what we're running into:

installStorage.php writability check echo's a 1
http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/2302

storageServer does not install in Ubuntu Hardy
http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/2290

Development Environment install fails under Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy"
http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/2299


The call goes out for some PHP gurus who might have an idea what's going
on here. Anyone care to jump in?

Subject: RE: Trouble building Campcaster Debian packages


I have upgraded to Herron when it came out. I currently have only libicu38
installed. I'm not on the home system so I cannot give you exact error but
it essentially says it was not able to find correct version of libicu. If
you look into any .mk4 (I think this is the right extension but search for
libicu in the entire project and you'll find it) file that refers to
libicu you will find a section that checks for version and prints error in
case it fails. That is the one that fails for me. Also this section can be
found in
/src/campcaster/etc/portage/media-radio/livesupport/files/taglib-curl-icu.patch
as well.

All I think we need to do is find somewhere in somebody else's project a
section where they use new libicu38 and copy that to our scripts (or write
it ourselves, but as I'm not in any way a skilled bash scripter I would
like to avoid this if I can).

There is also a suggestion made by Doug in ticket http://code.campware.org/projects/campcaster/ticket/2303 but I think it is not that simple. Looks like to me that old libicu
version checking was relying on some config file in a particular directory
(see the script section I mentioned in the first paragraph). I'm not sure
if it works that way anymore.

Hi Nebojsa,

Glade that you are willing to help us finding what goes on.

It's true you can not install libicu36 and libicu38 on one system.

What's the default libicu (and dev) available in your distribution and
did you install it? What error do you get in this case?

Thanks,


Frans van Berckel
