CPack Error: Problem running tar command: FIXED

fixed in r8287

Building did stop here:

CPack: Create package

** Failed at package**

deb.log and logbuildCore @ github:gist avidemux 2.6 fakeroot: nested operation not yet supported

has this something to do again with:

cmake --version | sed "s/^.*2/2/g"

2.8.10.1

Confirmed!

The code supports only cmake <= 2.8.9

Code Select Expand


export FAKEROOT_COMMAND="fakeroot"
CMAKE_VERSION=`cmake --version | sed "s/^.* 2\.\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/2\.\1/g"`
echo "CMAKE Version : $CMAKE_VERSION"
case "$CMAKE_VERSION" in
         2.8.8|2.8.7|2.8.9)
                echo "Cmake version >=2.8.7 doesnt need fakeroot"
                export FAKEROOT_COMMAND=""
        ;;
esac


We need mean to fix this:
https://gitorious.org/avidemux2-6/avidemux2-6/blobs/master/bootStrap.bash

The fastest way is to add 2.8.10 to 2.8.8|2.8.7|2.8.9  ->  2.8.8|2.8.7|2.8.9|2.8.10

But than the error is back with cmake version 2.8.11

A more lasting effect could have to handle the error message in the code instead of the output of cmake version.

adding 2.8.10 did work. Can we not make a test along these lines

Code Select Expand

if value left 3 positions < 2.8 then
   fakeroot solution required
elseif
   if test from position 5 (.) < 8 then fakeroot solution required
else
   no fakeroot
endif

hope logic is ok and you can put this in to bash somehow

[plux7887]

The problem is "2.8" is not a numeric value. It is a character string. You can't use the < operator with character strings.

workaround committed

[Jan Gruuthuse]

@plux7887 could it not be done with get value from a string ${var} and get part of that string ${string:position:length}?

@mean: thanks, building works again.

Hello Jan, mean,

here is my solution for the cmake/fakeroot problem:

In bootStrap.bash

change the line

Code Select Expand


$FAKEROOT_COMMAND make package DESTDIR=$FAKEROOT_DIR/tmp || fail package


to

Code Select Expand


fakeroot make package DESTDIR=$FAKEROOT_DIR/tmp || make package DESTDIR=$FAKEROOT_DIR/tmp || fail package


and delete the lines

Code Select Expand


export FAKEROOT_COMMAND="fakeroot"
CMAKE_VERSION=`cmake --version | sed "s/^.* 2\.\([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\).*/2\.\1/g"`
echo "CMAKE Version : $CMAKE_VERSION"
case "$CMAKE_VERSION" in
         2.8.8|2.8.7|2.8.9|2.8.10|2.8.11)
                echo "Cmake version >=2.8.7 doesnt need fakeroot"
                export FAKEROOT_COMMAND=""
        ;;
esac


I think a more better solution is

Code Select Expand


make package DESTDIR=$FAKEROOT_DIR/tmp || fakeroot make package DESTDIR=$FAKEROOT_DIR/tmp || fail package


but a build environment with cmake < 2.8.7 is needed to test if it works.

Thanks, I'm sure developer(s) have a look at it.
