Part 1: Learning that trying to build an un-ported project outside of the ports make system is a waste of time. I started reading the porters handbook and was blown away at how nice the ports build system is. After a few attempts, I was getting the prerequisites installed and starting the build of the target project!
Part 2: Leaning that OpenBSD does not have a wrapper for sys info.h. In digging into this, I found that it is only used to get the amount of physical RAM to dump to a log. That’s it. I just commented it out for now with an intent to come back later and figure out the OpenBSD way to do this. Part 3: After applying a couple other patches (OpenBSD does not have gzclose_w() so use gzclose() instead, and a struct that had elements for Windows OR linux/FreeBSD so I added Openbsd to the ifdef list), I came across an error that has me puzzled. I also noticed a few things that raised a few questions. When my project is built, each file has a counter in front of it (such as [137/242]). Is this something from the make build system or is it something from the project i am building? Also, when I got the error, I noticed that if I immediately did a ‘make build’ again, it would build a few more (as in, in the [x/y] counter, the y would be a bit smaller). Doing this over and over would slowly decrement the number of remaining files to a point at which it stopped decrementing. This makes the build seem… nondeterministic? Is this just a function of a parallel build system that stops whenever it sees an error? And for the main build issue I am seeing… Here is a dump from the output: 141/242] : && /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/bin/cc -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-function -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-missing-field-initializers -O2 -pipe -std=gnu99 -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -shared -o plugins/rtmp-services/rtmp-services.so plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-common.c.o plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-custom.c.o plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-services-main.c.o -L/usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/libobs -L/usr/local/bin/../lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/libobs: deps/file-updater/libfile-updater.a deps/jansson/lib/libjansson.a -llibobs.so.0 -pthread -lcurl -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/X11R6/lib && cd /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services && /usr/local/bin/cmake -E copy /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services/rtmp-services.so /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/rundir/Release/obs-plugins/64bit/rtmp-services.so && cd /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services && /usr/local/bin/cmake -E copy_directory /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/obs-studio-17.0.0/plugins/rtmp-services/data /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/rundir/Release/data/obs-plugins/rtmp-services FAILED: plugins/rtmp-services/rtmp-services.so : && /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/bin/cc -fPIC -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-function -Werror-implicit-function-declaration -Wno-missing-braces -Wno-missing-field-initializers -O2 -pipe -std=gnu99 -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -shared -o plugins/rtmp-services/rtmp-services.so plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-common.c.o plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-custom.c.o plugins/rtmp-services/CMakeFiles/rtmp-services.dir/rtmp-services-main.c.o -L/usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/libobs -L/usr/local/bin/../lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/libobs: deps/file-updater/libfile-updater.a deps/jansson/lib/libjansson.a -llibobs.so.0 -pthread -lcurl -Wl,-rpath-link,/usr/X11R6/lib && cd /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services && /usr/local/bin/cmake -E copy /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services/rtmp-services.so /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/rundir/Release/obs-plugins/64bit/rtmp-services.so && cd /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/plugins/rtmp-services && /usr/local/bin/cmake -E copy_directory /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/obs-studio-17.0.0/plugins/rtmp-services/data /usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/rundir/Release/data/obs-plugins/rtmp-services /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibobs.so.0 collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed. I think the ultimate error is "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -llibobs.so.0”. However, the same command has "-L/usr/ports/pobj/obs-studio-17.0.0/build-amd64/libobs”, and a `ll` of that directory reveals this: total 1908 drwxr-xr-x 3 sirjorj sirjorj 512 Jan 8 14:52 . drwxr-xr-x 11 sirjorj sirjorj 512 Jan 8 14:51 .. drwxr-xr-x 4 sirjorj sirjorj 512 Jan 8 14:51 CMakeFiles -rw-r--r-- 1 sirjorj sirjorj 1343 Jan 8 14:51 LibObsConfig.cmake -rw-r--r-- 1 sirjorj sirjorj 296 Jan 8 14:51 LibObsConfigVersion.cmake -rw-r--r-- 1 sirjorj sirjorj 2373 Jan 8 14:51 LibObsTarget.cmake -rw-r--r-- 1 sirjorj sirjorj 28611 Jan 8 14:51 cmake_install.cmake lrwxr-xr-x 1 sirjorj sirjorj 11 Jan 8 14:52 libobs.so -> libobs.so.0 -rwxr-xr-x 1 sirjorj sirjorj 906282 Jan 8 14:52 libobs.so.0 So the ‘cannon find’ file is right where it should be. Can any of you experienced porters see what rookie mistake I am making? Thanks, Jordon
