Build fails on recent cmake

[jkoan]

Now it builds successfully, thank you; although, now it fails in runtime due to some linker issues:

@l29ah please try it again, after #1295 has now been merged it should work

[l29ah]

The build works without patches now, but navit is now broken in other ways:

navit: error while loading shared libraries: libsupport_shapefile.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[jkoan]

Could you please provide the full log?

[l29ah]

Full log of what? The line provided is the full output of navit after launch before exit. Maybe ldd can help you:

[GNUtoo]

Hi, I've a similar issue and I've managed to bisect it with Guix: the problem starts at the commit cb6a161 ("fix:python_biondings: Try to build if python 2 only.").

I've managed to narrow it down even more, I can fix with this:

It can be reproduced with Guix by copying the previous patch in '0001-Fix-fix-python_biondings-Try-to-build-if-python-2-on.patch' and by copying the following package definition in navit-trunk.scm:

We can then run this command (it can take some time if Guix is not up to date):

guix time-machine --commit=0e4cb907fb5155889b537346caf45aaa89b3e7a8 -- build -L . -f navit-trunk.scm

or this one if we don't want to fix the Guix revision (it's probably faster in the long run):

guix pull # This can take a long time, hours on old (~2008) computers , but after that it's relatively fast:
guix build -L . -f navit-trunk.scm

We then have:

[...]
successfully built /gnu/store/yb84w2r38gx6hciw0x52fn8i9ai8rnar-navit-trunk-0.5.6-0.2418e3f.drv
/gnu/store/mmwan880m9d6niswdpf7f28gf9z0r7k7-navit-trunk-0.5.6-0.2418e3f

And we can run navit with the following:

/gnu/store/mmwan880m9d6niswdpf7f28gf9z0r7k7-navit-trunk-0.5.6-0.2418e3f/bin/navit

With the above it is also possible to change the navit git revisions quite easily, for instance the following will try this on the latest commit (though it's not magic: we can't make the patch we use magically apply on all the revisions):

guix build -L . -f navit-trunk.scm --with-commit=navit-trunk=2418e3f42af0641c734f93f3d6d20d3025ad2182

Though this breaks again somehow:

error:navit:map_new:invalid type 'textfile'
error:navit:graphics_new:Failed to load graphics plugin sdl.
error:navit:osd_new:invalid OSD type 'button'
error:navit:osd_new:invalid OSD type 'button'
error:navit:traffic_new:wrong type 'null'
error:navit:vehicle_new:invalid source 'gpsd://localhost': unknown type 'gpsd'

error:navit:xinclude:Unable to include '/home/gnutoo/.navit/navit_layout_*.xml'
error:navit:navit_init:FATAL: No GUI available.

So I'll bisect this second issue as well.

edit1: fix syntax. Also note that I'm not used to GitHub, I only found that I could attach files now.

[GNUtoo]

If I use --with-commit it apparently discards the patch, which makes sense, so I'll try to remake the patch on top of 94e7865 ("[fix:buildsystem:tomtom] Downgrade CMake agan for TomTom build") and try to bisect with something like that:

guix build -L . -f navit-trunk.scm --with-commit=navit-trunk=94e7865cff17821525c3a9495ced4a3b2bd09c4f --with-patch=navit-trunk=0001-Fix-fix-python_biondings-Try-to-build-if-python-2-on.patch

[GNUtoo]

Apparently on 2418e3f ("Translated using Weblate (English (United Kingdom))") which is the last commit in trunk it works fine if I adjust my patch. Without it I've also still no graphics. So reverting to 'cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)' seems to fix it.

Here it is for reference:

I'm not familiar with the 'tomtom image' yet though, so I've no idea how to fix it for the tomtom. Does it cross compile navit for OpenTom on top of Debian?
