kakoune 🚀 - Can't install on Ubuntu

You need to install asciidoc

doppioandante on 14 Dec 2016

C.f. #971, you need to install an additional package (I never updated the script to add this new dependency).

lenormf on 14 Dec 2016

That took care of that problem. Thanks. Now I get:

debuild: fatal error at line 1376:
dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -D -us -uc -i -b failed

I'm guessing I have to run the script with sudo, but if so I am not comfortable running a script as super user. Think you'll put out a Ubuntu package any time soon?

I'm having the same issue, the full error message is as following. The same error occurs when I run make inside src.

Thaelz on 14 Dec 2016

@Thaelz I think the error you get is due to a too old g++, you need at least g++ 5 installed. Here it seems the compilation is done with gcc 4.8.

mawww on 14 Dec 2016

@mawww You got it ! 4.8.5
@trans Try this, if g++ --version gives a version number < 5

sudo apt-get install g++-5
cd /usr/bin
sudo mv g++ g++-4
sudo ln -s g++-5 g++

Thaelz on 14 Dec 2016

Instead of messing with the executables in /usr/bin, I'd just set the CC and CXX environment variables to point to gcc-5 and g++-5

FreeFull on 14 Dec 2016

👍1

@trans you do not need elevated privilege to build a package, check the logs instead to get the error.

lenormf on 15 Dec 2016

@trans is there any more error messages ?

For an ubuntu packages, we need somebody to take care of that, I dont use ubuntu or debian based distro myself, so I cant really manage a package.

mawww on 15 Dec 2016

@mawww I started an issue for a Ubuntu/Deb package: #1004.

hxegon on 15 Dec 2016

What are the errors that make the make_deb script fail? Did you manage to run it till the end?

lenormf on 16 Dec 2016

Same as I get with a regular make build, a lot of errors similar to this:
/usr/include/boost/regex/v4/perl_matcher.hpp:207: undefined reference to boost::c_regex_traits<wchar_t>::transform[abi:cxx11](wchar_t const*, wchar_t const*)'

This is on an Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system. I suspect there's a problem with the libboost-regex1.* packages. this is what I have installed:
libboost-regex1.55-dev:amd64
libboost-regex1.55.0:amd64
libboost-regex1.58.0:amd64

So it's a basic conflict between headers and lib of libboost-regex. apt-get refuses to upgrade to libboost-regex1.58-dev, but aptitude works it out just fine:
sudo aptitude install libboost-regex-dev

kakoune builds just fine now.

Even with ascii2doc installed, ./contrib/make_deb.sh fails here:

jvoisin on 19 Dec 2016

According to other issues, installing libxml2-utils and xsltproc will solve this issue.

What's weird is that the Makefile explicitely disables linting for the XML output, so you shouldn't need those packages in the first place.

lenormf on 19 Dec 2016

This fixed the issue, but it should be documented :)

jvoisin on 19 Dec 2016

This is an issue related to Ubuntu itself, as like I said, the Makefile disables XML linting, and asciidoc doesn't have those packages as dependencies on Ubuntu.

lenormf on 19 Dec 2016

I'm leaving this comment here since this seems to be a generic deb packaging issue.

I just built kakoune eace7e0 on Ubuntu 16.04, I had to install a couple dependencies not strictly related to debian package building, namely asciidoc, libboost-dev, libncurses5-dev, libncursesw5-dev and libboost-regex-dev.

While installing the resulting deb, dpkg asked for libboost-all-dev.
Having a -dev package dependency for runtime seems odd, considering that only libboost-regex-dev was required for building and considering kakoune is an editor. Is this on purpose?

anddam on 4 Mar 2017

@anddam my bad, it's indeed a mistake. I've been thinking about redoing this whole thing (maybe even drop the script in favor of actual debian package files), but in the meantime you can install the package and ignore the dependencies.

lenormf on 4 Mar 2017

@anddam the make_deb.bash is now deprecated, I've written proper debian files in a seperate repository, c.f. #1300.

lenormf on 29 Mar 2017

I think this issue can be closed.

lenormf on 14 Apr 2017

Should the Ubuntu installation instructions in the readme be changed/removed if they don't currently work? Or maybe I misunderstood @lenormf. Following the current instructions exactly, I get this:

josephrocca on 21 May 2019

The actual commands for building on Ubuntu are correct, but the bit about Ubuntu 16.04 is incorrect. A bit further up the page it says Kakoune requires a C++17 compiler, like GCC >= 7. GCC 5.4 isn't nearly enough, sadly.

Screwtapello on 21 May 2019

@Screwtapello Ah, thanks! I missed that. Upgraded gcc and that fixed it. :+1:

josephrocca on 21 May 2019

I also had a problem with installing kakoune which was fixed by using a newer version of g++. Maybe this should be in the tips for Ubuntu in the README?
