Source Build Failing on Ubuntu 24.04

[ireed3597]

I'm trying to install ipbus on a system running Ubuntu 24.04.

From the output of the make commands

make_1.txt
make_install.txt

I've understand the error to be part of the erlang version.

I first encountered the error when attempting to install on Ubuntu 22.04, but was able to get a work around by using 20.04 LTS, which used an older erlang version that was compatible.

Would you be able to check and see what is actually going wrong? I've attached all the steps I've done below, and the entire output of the make commands above. This was on a fresh install of 24.04. Please let me know if I can provide more information from my end.

Thanks, in advance!
Ian

I'm following the instructions hosted here

My BOOST (1.83.0.1ubuntu2) and pugiXML (1.14) are both above the requirements, as is my erlang ("25")

sudo apt-get install -y make erlang g++ libboost-all-dev libpugixml-dev python3-all-dev rsyslog Shows all packages as up to date.

I used this clone command, letting it just use the most recent version
git clone --depth=1 --recurse-submodules https://github.com/ipbus/ipbus-software.git

Then ran the make commands (output above)

Hi,

I solved the same problem on Ubuntu 24.04 with: Python.h: No such file or directory. Might due to the problem from Python 3.12 which is default in Ubuntu 24.04. See: #323.

You may use python 3.10 rather, e.g.:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:deadsnakes/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python3.10-full
sudo apt install python3.10-dev
python3.10 -m venv /PythonEnvPath
source /PythonEnvPath/bin/activate

And by the way, there's some problem on erlang (Version 1:25.3.2.8+dfsg-1ubuntu4.3) from Ubuntu 24.04, see: #310 (comment), which lead to the make failed. Some symbolic link are pointing to nonexistent file, you need to create these files manually:

cd /usr/lib/erlang/man/man1/
sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp-13.1.gz cpp-13.1.gz
sudo gunzip -k x86_64-linux-gnu-cpp-13.1.gz
sudo ln -s x86_64-linux-gnu-gfortran-13.1.gz gfortran-13.1.gz
sudo gunzip -k x86_64-linux-gnu-gfortran-13.1.gz

Before make, modify the file controlhub/rebar.config as illustrated by #310 (comment).

After that the make succeed on my Ubuntu 24.04. Since the make install need to use python, don't forget source activate of Python 3.10 before it:

sudo -i
source /PythonEnvPath/bin/activate
make install
exit
