Can't get CEED running on Arch Linux [Solved]

[Robert42]

Hello I am trying to get CEED to run on my Arch Linux system,

As the ceed AUR package is out of date since 2012, I don't want to use it.

First try: Using the cegui package from arch Linux

The Steps I've done are based on http://cegui.org.uk/wiki/CEED#Arch_Linux, I have installed the packages

• cegui
• python-pyside (AUR) contained a python2-pyside package
• python2-pyside-tools (AUR)
• python2-opengl

I have downloaded the CEED tarball from http://sourceforge.net/projects/crayzed ... /CEED/0.8/

I tried to execute from the terminal with the bin directory as workingdir by executing the following commands:

Code: Select all

$ ./runwrapper.sh
$ ./ceed-gui

Executing ceed-gui fails with the error output:

Following problems found:
PyCEGUI was found but PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer is missing! CEED can't render embedded CEGUI without it. (exception: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cegui-0.8/PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5CEGUI18OpenGLRenderTargetINS_12RenderTargetEED2Ev)
Your environment doesn't meet critical prerequisites! Can't start!

I've verified, that the PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer.so file does exist:

Code: Select all

$ cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cegui-0.8/
$ ls
PyCEGUIOgreRenderer.so  PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer.so  PyCEGUI.so

Second Try: Trying to compile it by myself:

The next thing I've tried was to compile CEGUI by myself (just like described in the wiki, by cloning using hg clone and the v0-8 branches for both, cegui and ceed). After successfully building, I've set the PYTHONPATH environment variable point towards the build/lib directory (yes, I've verified, that the PyCEGUI.so file exists in that directory). However, when running, the prerequisites still aren't met:

Following problems found:
PyCEGUI package is missing! PyCEGUI provides Python bindings for CEGUI, the library this editor edits assets for, see cegui.org.uk. (exception: dynamic module does not define init function (initPyCEGUI))
Your environment doesn't meet critical prerequisites! Can't start!

After trying and googling, I am out of ideas Is there anyone out there who was able to get ceed run recently on Arch Linux?

[Robert42]

OK, I've written a shell script, to make my second attempt easy to reproduce. They commands are basically taken from the wiki page.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf CEED
mkdir CEED
cd CEED

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/ceed

cd ceed
hg update v0-8
cd ../
cd cegui
hg update v0-8
cd ../

mkdir cegui/build
cd cegui/build

cmake -DCEGUI_BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL3=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OGRE=OFF -DCEGUI_SAMPLES_ENABLED=OFF ../
make -j4

cd ..

cd ../ceed/bin
PYTHONPATH=../../cegui/build/lib:../:$PYTHONPATH python2 ./ceed-gui


This are the differences to the wiki:

• I've added one cd .. to step out from the build directory before going to the ceed directory.
• To speed up compiling, I've disabled the Ogre renderer -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OGRE=OFF
• To prevent compile errors because of mixing glfw2 and 3, I've simply disabled the samples -DCEGUI_SAMPLES_ENABLED=OFF

Compiling was successful.

Executing ceed was not:

Code: Select all

Following problems found:
PyCEGUI package is missing! PyCEGUI provides Python bindings for CEGUI, the library this editor edits assets for, see cegui.org.uk. (exception: dynamic module does not define init function (initPyCEGUI))
Your environment doesn't meet critical prerequisites! Can't start!


The CMake output looks suspicious:

So I took a look into the CMake Cache and baam: PYTHON_EXECUTABLE is set to a path to the Version 3 of Python. I am taking a break now, but I will take a further look, whether enforcing Python2 will help.

If I succeed, I will let you know and update the Wiki.

[Robert42]

Ok, I got CEED running. I've read the right section multiple times in the wiki, but however, I've always overead the note regarding python 3 -- no wonder I got no answer

For future Arch Linux Users with the same Problem: This are the shell commands I've used to get CEED running:

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

rm -rf CEED
mkdir CEED
cd CEED

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/ceed

cd ceed
hg update v0-8
cd ../
cd cegui
hg update v0-8
cd ../

mkdir cegui/build
cd cegui/build

cmake -DCEGUI_BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL3=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OGRE=OFF -DCEGUI_SAMPLES_ENABLED=OFF -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python2.7 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/python2.7 ../
make -j4

cd ..

cd ../ceed/bin
PYTHONPATH=../../cegui/build/lib:../:$PYTHONPATH python2 ./ceed-gui


The new commands I've added are:

Code: Select all

-DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python2.7 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/python2.7

I am going to do the following changes to the Wiki:

• Emphasis the note regarding Python3 so future Arch users are less probably to overread it
• Update the names of the AUR dependencies
• add a note about the PYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR and the PYTHON_LIBRARY variables

Edit: I can't login to the Wiki

no wonder I got no answer

The reason you got no answer is because I have no idea about Linux and Kulik (mpreisler) is usually doing fun stuff during the weekend (this seems to exclude CEGUI support). I can only help with Windows setups for CEED (I wrote a concise guide for that purpose). You would probably gotten an answer on monday or so. But you managed to solve this yourself! Big thanks for adding the solution. Also constructive changes to the wiki are heavily encouraged so go wild.

Edit: I can't login to the Wiki

Did you use forum account and pw? I just logged into the Wiki successfully.

Edit: I can't login to the Wiki

Did you use forum account and pw? I just logged into the Wiki successfully.

Yes, I've tried using the same username and password as to the forum.

Finally after changing my password to a simpler one, I was able to log in and do the changes.
It looks, like not all passwords are supported by the wiki. I can send you my old (not used anymore) passwords which weren't compatible to the wiki, in case you or another admin wants to take a look at it.

We were not aware of this issue. Send me a private message please.

So this is my final script to install ceed on linux. It also installs a desktop file integrating ceed into the main menu

Code: Select all

rm -rf CEED
mkdir CEED
cd CEED

hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/cegui
hg clone https://bitbucket.org/cegui/ceed

cd cegui
hg update v0-8

mkdir cegui/build
cd cegui/build

cmake -DCEGUI_BUILD_PYTHON_MODULES=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OPENGL3=ON -DCEGUI_BUILD_RENDERER_OGRE=OFF -DCEGUI_SAMPLES_ENABLED=OFF -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python2 -DPYTHON_INCLUDE_DIR=/usr/include/python2.7 -DPYTHON_LIBRARY=/usr/lib64/python2.7 ../

Hi,

I think I am getting this problem also:

Code: Select all

Following problems found:
PyCEGUI was found but PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer is missing! CEED can't render embedded CEGUI without it. (exception: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/cegui-0.8/PyCEGUIOpenGLRenderer.so: undefined symbol: _ZN5CEGUI18OpenGLRenderTargetINS_12RenderTargetEED2Ev)
Your environment doesn't meet critical prerequisites! Can't start!


I am the maintainer of CEGUI in debian, and in the following link you can see the DEB_CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/cegui-mk2.git/tree/debian/rules

And the dependencies installed:

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/collab-maint/cegui-mk2.git/tree/debian/control

Does anybody know how to solve this problem?. Thanks!

[Ident]

@muammar this problem has popped up before but Kulik and I don't know how to solve this specific occurrence you have. I know this is not helpful but I thought that is better than not answer which would make us look like we didn't care. We do care but we have no clue as of now.

The general issue is that the constructor is not public. That's something we also can#t change without breaking ABI. We will do things differently in 1.0 though.

[Kulik]

Hi muammar,
I am sorry but I don't know the solution of that. I remember solving this in the past but forgot the solution.

I would start by demangling the symbol, looking into why it's not exported AND why PyCEGUI needs it.
