Install Ice 3.3.1 on a Gentoo System

Hi

I have some problems to install ICE on a 64-Bit Gentoo Linux System. I want to integrate code from a student in my c++ project.

The Readme says, that i need the following packages to install ICE on my Linux system:

- Berkeley DB 4.6.21
- expat 1.95.7 or 2.0.1
- OpenSSL 0.9.7 or later (OpenSSL 0.9.8 or later recommended)
- bzip2 1.0.x
- mcpp 2.7.2

openssl, bzip and mcpp should be installed on my system, but i don't really know, how I should prove, if Berkeley and expat are installed. I don't have administration rights, so i can't install easily (it is possible, I only have to go to the operator and tell him, what i need) this packages.

The next step was to modify the Make.rules.

I hope, I did it right. qc1 is my username and i have on my homefolder the rights to create and write files.

After trying to compile the ICE, i got this error messages:

And that's my problem. I don't know, what the error-messages really means. What did i wrong?
Can you please help me?

That means berkeley db isn't installed on your system. As an aside, you don't need to actually edit your Make.rules file. You can also set those variables in your environment.

For example:

prefix= /home/qc1/Ice-Libs/ make

You need the C++ Berkeley DB libraries ... not just the C libraries. If you build DB yourself, configure it with --enable-cxx. You can find complete build instructions for DB and other dependencies in our third-party archives: http://www.zeroc.com/download.html#src.

Best regards,
Bernard

Hi Martin,

Note that there is currently an ebuild to install Ice-3.3.1 on gentoo, so your sysadmin can install it with emerge.

3.3.1 is masked in gentoo but your sysamdin can umask it and emerge for you.

to unmaks add this to /etc/portage/package.keywords

>=dev-cpp/Ice-3.3.1 ~amd64 ~x86
>=dev-cpp/libmcpp-2.7.2 ~amd64 ~x86

And then

emerge dev-cpp/Ice

Cheers,
Jose

thanks for your post, matthew and xdm!

After asking my operator for the berkeley db, he means, that I didn't need it anymore, because there are a installation of ICE on the Server.

I know, that the programm example was compiled on another Windows PC in Visual Studio 2008. The differenz are only, that i am using ICE V3.2.1 and on the Windows PC, ICE V3.3.1 was installed. So, the only thing, that I thougt, that I should do, is to slice the 2 .ice files to cpp and added it to my eclipse work project. I only had to correct the includes (from #include <header.h> to #inlucde "header.h") and after then, the first Compile looks very positiv.

After than, I've got a long list of Errors:

I thought, this happens, when I am not using the right preprocessor definitions (like in QT -lQtGui). But in the Visual Studio 2008 Preference of the Project, there are no Libs there.
Here a screenshot:
ImageBanana - problem.png

The Libaries of ICE are all in the /usr/lib Folder.

what did i wrong?

You are not linking with the Ice libraries. You need to add "-lIce -lIceUtil" to your link line.

thanks for your help!
now, all is working fine!

I'm also on gentoo trying to install Ice 3.3.1, having problems with berkdb.

I have version 4.6.21 installed with cpp headers, but the make script didn't even try to include it. So what I did was whenever the build script reached files that needed db_cxx.h, I copied the command that failed:

c++ -c -I.. -I../../include -m64 -ftemplate-depth-128 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/nptl -fPIC -g Transformer.cpp

then I changed to the directory it was executed from (cpp/src/FreezeScript), added "-I/usr/include/db4.6" to the command, changed the filename to *.cpp and compiled everything in that directory:

c++ -c -I.. -I../../include -m64 -ftemplate-depth-128 -Wall -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include/nptl -fPIC -g -I/usr/include/db4.6 *.cpp

then went back to the cpp directory and continued make from there.


Seems to work so far.

Hi,

Search for DB_FLAGS in cpp/config/Make.rules, changing /usr/include/db46 to /usr/include/db4.6 should fix your issue.

Cheers,
Benoit.

Yeah I had already done that with no luck, but setting DB_HOME to /usr/include/db4.6 and setting DB_FLAGS to -I$(DB_HOME) worked.
