1. wxEuphoria (again)
- Posted by Jerry_Story Jan 31, 2010
- 2051 views
I'm upgraded to Ubuntu 9.10. From now on I avoid Kate because that's a KDE thing and KDE is buggy and it wrecks everything. I got Euphoria working again. But I can't get wxEuphoria to work.
libwxeu.so.13 is in /etc/local/lib
I did the ldconfig thing.
wxwidgets is installed from synaptic. All the dependencies are installed.
I rebooted.
Still doesn't work.
What the 773H!
"Could not open wxEuphoria library. Press enter to abort."
Even a little bit more information in the error message might help.
Building from the source code doesn't work.
- From the wxEuphoria source directory, type:
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make install
because those things don't exist.
If wxEuphoria can't be made to work, then all programs based on wxEuphoria are useless. Even if I somehow get it to work, if other people can't get it to work (probably with less motivation), then I have some reluctance to do any programming based on wxEuphoria. Maybe wxEuphoria has to be abandoned. That would be a loss.
BTW, what happened to most of the wxEuphoria demos?

/etc/local/lib is an unusual location and would need to be especially configured to work correctly...

Pretty much all my programming is done in Kate. KDE 4.1 was still pretty flaky (I skipped 4.0 altogether) but I haven't really had problems since 4.2.

I know that the last release was missing some stuff. I'd recommend trying from svn:
$ svn co https://wxeuphoria.svn.sf.net/svnroot/wxeuphoria/wxeu/trunk wxeu $ cd wxeu $ ./configure $ make $ sudo make install $ sudo ldconfig /usr/lib
If wxEuphoria can't be made to work, then all programs based on wxEuphoria are useless. Even if I somehow get it to work, if other people can't get it to work (probably with less motivation), then I have some reluctance to do any programming based on wxEuphoria. Maybe wxEuphoria has to be abandoned. That would be a loss.
BTW, what happened to most of the wxEuphoria demos?
In svn, at least, they were moved to the demo subdir to clean up the source a bit.

Correction. I meant /usr/local/lib It's in /usr/local/lib I just checked.

/etc/local/lib is an unusual location and would need to be especially configured to work correctly...
Correction. I meant /usr/local/lib It's in /usr/local/lib I just checked.
Ok, try running this command:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.13 /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so
And see if that improves the situation at all. If not, tell us what the output of running ldd on /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so is..
If the above command fails, you could also try this:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.13 /lib/libwxeu.so

Yes, that's the current version of the shared library (which doesn't necessarily track with the overall version number of wxEuphoria).
Can you try something simple:
include dll.e ? open_dll("/usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so")
...change the path to whatever is correct. Also, please try the one you built, using the full path to the library.

Why are you trying /usr/lib ? I thought they were installed to /usr/local/lib ..
Well, I'll just write the following code including /usr/lib to be safe. Anyways,
include dll.e ? open_dll("/usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so") ? open_dll("/usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.14") ? open_dll("/usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.13") ? open_dll("/usr/lib/libwxeu.so") ? open_dll("/usr/lib/libwxeu.so.14") ? open_dll("/usr/lib/libwxeu.so.13") ? open_dll("/lib/libwxeu.so") ? open_dll("/lib/libwxeu.so.14") ? open_dll("/lib/libwxeu.so.13")
Also, try the following commands:
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.14
ls -l /usr/local/lib/libwxeu.so.13
ls -l /usr/lib/libwxeu.so
ls -l /usr/lib/libwxeu.so.14
ls -l /usr/lib/libwxeu.so.13
ls -l /lib/libwxeu.so
ls -l /lib/libwxeu.so.14
ls -l /lib/libwxeu.so.13
This is the only one that produced a non-zero result.
include dll.e ? open_dll("/usr/lib/libwxeu.so.14")

That actually makes sense to me. I presume this is the version that you built and installed. The C ABI changed between 9.04 and 9.10, which is probably why the earlier versions didn't work. You may need to re-run ldconfig to get the system to recognize libwxeu.so.14 without a full path.

You need to do this:

Then see what happens... if it still fails, try this:

I guess these 2 lines don't matter.

That, so far as I know, solves my problem, at least until the next Ubuntu upgrade or wipeout. But some people who download and try to run wxEuphoria-based programs will have a problem and they probably will give up quicker. What can be done about that?

Well, when a final release is ready, I guess Matt will submit a package to Ubutnu and you can just apt-get install wxeu.
Automating the debugging process you just went through is not trivial, but such would be a prerequisite to making open_dll() smart enough to report what went wrong.
On the other hand, what you went through is something the average linux user can handle. It's mostly the linux newbies that will have trouble, and those are probably better off waiting for a stable apt-get worthy release anyways...

Ah! Maybe that is why dmak produced a segmentation error after loading data. I typed those 2 lines correctly and the error disappeared.

The "apt-get install wxeu" will be a major event for wxEuphoria.

The wxEuphoria library has little-to-no internal error checking. Most errors end in a segfault. On Windows, this typically results in a "the stack data has been corrupted!" message. I'm sure later versions of the library will have more appropriate error checking.

I have a patch for you. Remember the EUPHORIA ABI changed as well, so you need to detect which Euphoria is being used by the demo and if the library is really of the same version as the interpreter. I built it, but with the newer wxWidgets it wouldn't build.

Yes, there is an issue with building without threads on Watcom. I haven't taken another look at this for a long time, and the info at the link doesn't give me a lot of confidence that everything is fixed.
What exactly are you referring to as far as the EUPHORIA ABI? The newest version (trunk or the bleeding edge release) should work with 3.1 and 4.0.

I referred to how the size of the 'struct s1' is different in 3.1 compared to 4.0 and so the stuff inside the dll file if compiled with 3.1 headers will not work properly when the dll is transfered to another machine. This is not a problem whe n the user compiles on his own box. I thought this is why you incremented the so number (which indicates a change in ABI). However, the source doesn't seem to do anything to detect what EUPHORIA version the user is using and then load the dll #13 or dll #14 that is for 3.1 or 4.0 respectively [as of 393].
The patch I submitted was just telling users to use wxWidgets.2.8.7 in the readme file.
The bleeding edge certainly works well for me. I have just did a 'svn up' and the demos all work. (Although I haven't recompiled the C sources yet). I am using 4.0 right now and I compiled the wxWidget and the wrapper dll myself.

Yes, the newer version will work with 3.1 or 4.0. Basically, any sequences created by the wxEuphoria C code will be sized for 4.0, with a null cleanup pointer. Euphoria 3.1 can use these sequences (and atoms!) just fine. They just have a little extra memory allocated. wxEuphoria doesn't do anything (yet) with the cleanup stuff, so 3.1 users aren't missing out.
Let me know if you're interested in helping out with wxEuphoria. I can add you to the project in SF.
