Installing CINT 5.15 on ubuntu

[Veena Gondhalekar]

Hi,

I would like to know if anyone has successfully installed CINT 5.15 on
ubuntu linux 7.10 (uses linux kernel 2.6.22)? I have tried several platform
files and tweaked some of the flags/values to match what I could find on my
system but they all fail somewhere or the other. Most of the platform
files seem to be for old linux kernels (e.g. RH7.3 is based on 2.4 version
of the kernel).  Since CINT 5.16 source was missing the whole platform
directory, I didn't bother installing that at all.
Thanks.

Hi Veena,

In the contrary, you should use 5.16 :)
Installing is slightly different (can you remind me which web pages'
instruction
you follow so we can update them), and simply:

   ./configure
   gmake
   gmake dlls

Cheers,
Philippe.

Thanks Philippe.

I believe I tried all that because I found through some msgs I read
on NABBLE that others before me had run into similar issues with 5.16.
But the suggested solution didn't help me. I don't recall the details
as it has been a while, but I deleted the whole 5.16 directory after
that.  If 5.16 is going to work, I will definitely give it a try again
and would be happy to point to the mismatched instructions. I believe
they were in the README.txt file at the top level directory when you
unzip the tar file.  Then a colleague in Europe suggested I use 5.15
as it works for them but they're using some strange :) version of
linux over there.

I will download 5.16 again and run the suggested steps and let you
know how that goes.

Hi Veena,

Please do and let's us know if you have any trouble.
Cint 5.16 is the current production version (and thus has many
bug fixes compared to 5.15) and is the only version we can change
to solve any problem you might encounter :)

Cheers,
Philippe

Yes, I know the pain of having to fix bugs in old versions that people
refuse to let go of when they're fixed in later versions. Anyway, I've
just downloaded 5.16.19. The first issue is that you cannot read the
instructions to unpack the package without unpacking it :).  I can see
all kinds of "bugs" (major and minor) in the README.txt file and I am
ignoring all that for the time being. When I run ./configure, I get

====
./configure: 23: Syntax error: "(" unexpected
====

(I now remember that I was getting this before too). Line 23 of the
configure file is the line where the variable ARCH is defined (linux
linuxicc macgcc........)

I am running bash and this is a bash script. I don't see anything
obviously wrong such as mismatched quotes or something earlier that
could be showing up later as error on line 23. There are just 3 lines
of commands before that so I am not sure what's going on.

Thanks.

Hi Veena,

To debug the problem (I suspect that in your sh is actually
different from bash).  Try:

   bash ./configure __have_the_proper_shell@

That seems to help but I am running into other problems related to
permissions that are ubuntu specific so let me figure those out.

Meanwhile, when I do
> echo $SHELL
I get
> /bin/bash

Are you saying that this is somehow not the right bash?
I also tried adding the shebang at the top of the configure file (#!
/bin/bash) but that didn't help either and I got the same syntax error.

I will work on my permissions issue and see how it goes from there.
Thanks.

Hi Veena,

The issue is that we _thought_ that the script was parseable
by most sh (except on solaris) and thus the configure call
itself with the "correct" shell (sh so we thought) except
that in your case it does not work :(

Cheers,
Philippe

Hi all:

   I took a quick look at the .configure problem and it fails on my
   systems (i386 ubuntu and sparc ubuntu) with the same error. The failure
   is not in the main level bash but in the subshell... I don't have time
   to code a fix right now, but consider the following:

ron@ron-laptop:~/Desktop/cint-5.16.19$ bash -vx configure --help

# This is a bash script, which works with any reasonable sh.
# Solaris sh is not, so we have to start bash, and call ourselves again.

[ "x$1" != "x__have_the_proper_shell@" ] && ( \
  uname -a | grep -i sunos > /dev/null \
  && (bash $0 __have_the_proper_shell@ "$*") \

+ '[' x--help '!=' x__have_the_proper_shell@ ']'
+ uname -a
+ grep -i sunos
+ sh configure __have_the_proper_shell@ --help
configure: 23: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The problem is in the subshell call "sh", on my ubuntu systems sh is
a symlink to "dash"...

Hope this helps

  uname -a
returns?

Thanks,
Philippe

Hi all:

   I took a quick look at the .configure problem and it fails on my
   systems (i386 ubuntu and sparc ubuntu) with the same error. The failure
   is not in the main level bash but in the subshell... I don't have time
   to code a fix right now, but consider the following:

ron@ron-laptop:~/Desktop/cint-5.16.19$ bash -vx configure --help
##############################################################
#
# Copyright(c) 1995~2005  Masaharu Goto (cint@...)
#
# For the licensing terms see the file COPYING
#
##############################################################
#
# This is a bash script, which works with any reasonable sh.
# Solaris sh is not, so we have to start bash, and call ourselves again.

[ "x$1" != "x__have_the_proper_shell@" ] && ( \
  uname -a | grep -i sunos > /dev/null \
  && (bash $0 __have_the_proper_shell@ "$*") \
  || (sh $0 __have_the_proper_shell@ "$*") \
)
+ '[' x--help '!=' x__have_the_proper_shell@ ']'
+ uname -a
+ grep -i sunos
+ sh configure __have_the_proper_shell@ --help
configure: 23: Syntax error: "(" unexpected

The problem is in the subshell call "sh", on my ubuntu systems sh is
a symlink to "dash"...

Hope this helps
