• Compiling htick

    From Wilfred van Velzen@2:280/464 to Developers on Thu Dec 3 18:27:36 2020
    Hi All,

    FYI: I had to make 1 change to the CMakeLists.txt file for huskylib to be able to compile htick on my new system:

    =========================================================================== diff --git a/CMakeLists.txt b/CMakeLists.txt
    index df5c00e..b0fbe1e 100644
    -+- a/CMakeLists.txt
    +++ b/CMakeLists.txt

    else ()
    ADD_DEFINITIONS(-Wall -DUNIX)
    + ADD_DEFINITIONS(-fPIC)
    endif (MSVC)

    message("-------------------------") ===========================================================================

    Otherwise I get linker errors when compiling smapi (and probably the other modules too):

    I forwarded your message to Alexander Skovpen who wrote CMakeLists.txt for htick. He answered that
    you tried to link shared (i.e. dynamic) library libsmapi.so to the static library libhusky.a. This was incorrect. Either you build everything statically or you build everything dynamically.

    Well then maybe the INSTALL.md for huskylib should be changed. It now states:

    $ cmake -H. -Bbuild -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF

    See: https://github.com/huskyproject/huskylib/blob/master/INSTALL.md

    The INSTALL.ms for the other modules don't include the "-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF"

    Since i had trouble to move an exsiting config to an upgraded system i prefer the static method for my fidonet software.

    The INSTALL.md's for the different modules shouldn't conflict with each other! When you follow the instructions in all of them you should be able to build all of them without conflicts...

    Thanks for your comment. I have corrected INSTALL.md in all projects where it was needed.

    Sorry, i do agree absolutly. My intention was a pointer into a failsafe default configuration. ;-)

    For todays fidonet software i would like to see a "will continue operartion in the future regardless what changes to the system libs will come". This would give users the chance to operate the software even if there is noboby there who could do modifications for a successful re-compilation.
    But back to your topic.

    I'm irritated about that compilation command. Within my outdated source copy there is a huskymak.cfg as a central point for compilation configuration. All husky modules Makefiles here do refer with include ../huskymak.cfg or other paths. That would include $DYNLIBS that will trigger the -static compilation if set in huskymak.cfg.

    This maybe outdated because of 2012:
    [...]
    DYNLIBS=1
    EXENAMEFLAG=-o
    WARNFLAGS=-Wall
    ARCH=-m32
    OPTCFLAGS=-c -s -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -fstrength-reduce -fPIC $(ARCH)
    ifeq ($(DYNLIBS), 0)
    ifeq ($(OSTYPE), UNIX)
    WARNFLAGS+= -static
    OPTCFLAGS+= -static
    endif
    endif
    [...]

    And the only cmake reference in my source is of bscmake.exe.

    Regards

    Kai
