Scons error Mitsuba compilation

[Lamios]

Hello,

I need to install Mitsuba Renderer for university use. For compiling on my Debian 9 system I used the following guide: https://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/releas ... tation.pdf

These are the additional dependencies I had to install according to the documentary:

Code: Select all

build-essential scons mercurial qt4-dev-tools libpng12-dev
libjpeg-dev libilmbase-dev libxerces-c-dev libboost-all-dev libopenexr-dev
libglewmx-dev libxxf86vm-dev libpcrecpp0 libeigen3-dev libfftw3-dev


Installation with libpng12-dev and libpcrecpp0 failed. I therefore installed libpng-dev and libpcrecpp0v5.
Instead of collada-dom_*.deb I installed libcollada-dom2.4-dp0.

Now I got an error with scons:

Code: Select all

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
Using configuation file "/root/mitsuba/config.py"
Checking for Qt 4.x... yes
Checking for g++ ...no
Could not compile a simple C++ fragment, verify that g++ is installed! This could also mean that the Boost libraries are missing. The file "config.log" should contain more information.


g++ is installed and the config.log gives the following information:

Code: Select all

file /root/mitsuba/build/SConscript.configure,line 137:
        Configure(confdir = .sconf_temp)
scons: Configure: Checking for g++ ...

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread

It would be really nice if somebody could help me with this issue!
Thank you!

Where did you get the source? It seems to be on github now, and lists some commits to fix compiling on Linux. You don't need mercurial to get the source from there any longer...so that pdf looks outdated.

0k, thanks. I got the source from here :

Code: Select all

hg clone https://www.mitsuba-renderer.org/hg/mitsuba


I now renamed the previous installed mitsuba folder and tried it again via github.
When I had a look over the dependencies in the git doc, I saw that some where missing. I installed the missing dependencies, but got stuck with libboost-all-dev.

Code: Select all

I tried:
aptitude -f install
dpkg --configure -a
aptitude -f remove
aptitude -f purge
install libboost1.62-dev manually via aptitude and the software management gui

Can the reason be a problem with permissions (dpkg: error processing archive /var/cache/apt/archives/libboost1.62-dev_1.62.0+dfsg-4_amd64.deb (--unpack):

[stevepusser]

Can you manually download and install the problem -dev package from packages.debian.org?

[Lamios]

I could install the package, thanks. Running scons no gives an error about QtWidgets.

Somebody at github had the same problem: https://github.com/mitsuba-renderer/mitsuba/issues/59 The solution there had been to disable the gui. Is there a possibility to compile with mitsuba with gui?
And I installed at /home. That shouldn't cause any problems later on?

[stevepusser]

Installing in your home should be fine. Try installing libqt5widgets5 to fix the compiling error.

Is there an updated installation guide in the source anywhere? That pdf is obviously outdated. If not, you could help them out when you finally succeed.

[Lamios]

libqt5widgets5 had been installed.
I currently used https://github.com/amyspark/mitsuba/com ... 63d7b17fa1 which seems to be more up to date. But sure, I'll forward my solution, if I succeed.
I found an alternative repository, which attempted to fix the QTWidgets problem: https://github.com/amyspark/mitsuba Using this source fixed the problem with QTWidgets and building did start. However, it produced an error later on.

Sorry, I had to shorten the code, because I had not been allowed to display it in full length. The relevant part should be the following:

[stevepusser]

Ugh, compiler errors. Usually I've only seen 32-bit builds fail with PIE when it would succeed on 64-bit. If you have a Makefile, can you edit it to replace any -fPIE flags with -fPIC? Usually, Makefiles get generated in Qt builds by qmake from a .pro file, so that may be happening in the middle of your build, though. Perhaps the flags are in that file.

Either that, or PIE is the default for the gcc compiler in Stretch, and you'll have to export -fPIC for the CXX compiler flags in the terminal before the build.

[Lamios]

I could find two qmake files with ~/Programmes/mitsuba$ find . -name *make* Unfortunately they both did not contain any -fPIE flags.
How can I export -fPIC? And can I simply use the export and than start a new build, or do I have to delete the data from the incomplete build before?
Thanks for your help!
