I am stucking for compiling for libtiff
i am sorry for inconvient because of second time to meet yocto. i am lost.

5.8.6. Extra Development/Debug Package Cleanup¶
The following recipes have had extra dev/dbg packages removed:
" acl apmd aspell attr augeas bzip2 cogl curl elfutils gcc-target libgcc libtool libxmu opkg pciutils rpm sysfsutils tiff xz "
All of the above recipes now conform to the standard packaging scheme where a single -dev, -dbg, and -staticdev package exists per recipe.
Do you know how to compilile tiff ?
Thank so much in advance

libtiff is part of oe-core, so just 'bitbake tiff'.

automake needs makeinfo while texinfo needs aclocal

I am installing packages on a machine without internet access and want to install automake. But I get following error message:
WARNING: 'makeinfo' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified a '.texi' file, or
any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual.
You might want to install the Texinfo package:
<http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/>
The spurious makeinfo call might also be the consequence of
using a buggy 'make' (AIX, DU, IRIX), in which case you might
want to install GNU make:
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/
Therefore I try to make texinfo where I get following error:
WARNING: 'aclocal-1.16' is missing on your system.
You should only need it if you modified 'acinclude.m4' or
'configure.ac' or m4 files included by 'configure.ac'.
The 'aclocal' program is part of the GNU Automake package:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/automake>
It also requires GNU Autoconf, GNU m4 and Perl in order to run:
<https://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf>
<https://www.gnu.org/software/m4/>
<https://www.perl.org/>
Apparently both programs need each other, which I don't understand.
Help is appreciated a lot. Thanks!

Haskell package missing c library

I'm having trouble building the hmatrix library on OS X Lion. Looking at the .cabal file, it requires the gsl library, so I installed it with macports. The .a files are in /opt/local/lib and the .h files are in /opt/local/include/gsl
As suggested here I changed the built-type from Custom to Simple. (without that change I get a similar error).
When I use cabal configure I get the following output:
* Missing C library: gsl
This problem can usually be solved by installing the system package that
provides this library (you may need the "-dev" version). If the library is
already installed but in a non-standard location then you can use the flags
--extra-include-dirs= and --extra-lib-dirs= to specify where it is.
So I tried cabal --extra-include-dirs=/opt/local/include --extra-lib-dirs=/opt/local/lib configure, but I still get the same error. I can compile and link a c program that includes gsl. What files is cabal looking for? If I have the right files, how do I tell it how to find them?
libgsl.a is a universal binary:
$ file /opt/local/lib/libgsl.a
/opt/local/lib/libgsl.a: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/libgsl.a (for architecture x86_64): current ar archive random library
/opt/local/lib/libgsl.a (for architecture i386): current ar archive random library

As an alternative to mac-ports you can use the nix package manager for mac. It does a pretty good job of taking care of the c dependancies for for the libraries available through it. In general I have been more happy with it then any other package manager on mac.
Unfortunately mac(darwin) unlike for linux does not have as many binaries available through nix so installing ghc often means waiting for it to compile.
The commands to install ghc and hmatrix after installation of nix are:
nix-env -iA nixpkgs-unstable.haskellPackages.ghc
nix-env -iA nixpkgs-unstable.haskellPackages.hmatrix
All of the needed dependencies will be taken care of for you.
I just tried it on my macbook pro and hmatrix seems to be working correctly in ghci after trying commands from the first few pages of the tutorial.
I'm not a mac person, but it really sounds like you haven't installed the "-dev" version. For a mac, I suspect you need to install gsl-devel in addition to gsl. If the problem persists, verify that you have libgsl0-dev on your library path.

configure: error: leptonica library missing (when building tesseract-ocr-3.01 on MinGW)

When running configure it fails with
checking for leptonica... yes
checking for pixCreate in -llept... no
configure: error: leptonica library missing
But I have leptonica 1.69 built (downloaded source and ran ./configure && make install)
Edit
I think configure: error: leptonica library missing is a bit misleading, please note that it first says checking for leptonica... yes, and then fails on checking for pixCreate in -llept... no. So maybe the problem is not that the library is missing, but something else.
I finally managed to make it compile, after reading this and this thread. The proper steps for were:
./autogen.sh
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=/local/include
./configure --with-extra-libraries=/local/lib
make install
for leptonica 1.69, lib renamed to .libs, so, parameters are
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=<your_path>/leptonica-1.69/src
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix= --with-extra-libraries=<your_path>/leptonica-1.69/src/.libs
and so on
Maybe this could solve the issue:
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=/usr-or-other/local/include
I am working on redhat linux 7.2 . None of the solution worked for me I was getting following errors in config.log. Package lept was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `lept.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH
configure script uses pkg-config utility to check for packages . It was not able to find lept package ( although i had installed leptonica seperately ) By setting PKG_CONFIG_PATH pointing to the directory where lept.pc is present , i was able to resolve the issue . export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig
The FAQ addresses this issue and worked for me with tesseract 3.02.02 on Mac OSX 10.6.8.
Apart from the Leptonica library, png, jpeg, tiff libraries had to passed to the configure script with CXX and CPP flags.
To run configure as non-root -
1. LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=; export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR;
2. CXXFLAGS="-ltiff -lpng -ljpeg" CPPFLAGS="-ltiff -lpng -ljpeg" ./configure --prefix= --with-extra-libraries=
In my case, this issue was caused by a missing compiler. Searching config.log revealed the following:
./configure:17287: g++ -o conftest -I/Usr/local/include/leptonica -L/usr/local/lib conftest.cpp -llept >&5
./configure: line 2040: g++ command not found
Running apt-get install g++ solved the problem. There is an issue in the tesseract issue tracker about this.
In my case (for Ubuntu/Debian) I downloaded the latest leptonica version and the error was not fixed.
To fix it I removed the package "leptonica-dev" with sudo apt-get remove libleptonica-dev and then tesseract found the leptonica version installed from the source code.
Hope it helps!
The answer is going to be slightly different for everyone, depending on the state of your system.
At a high level, the pkg-config software needs to know that leptonica is installed. It searches paths for a .pc file that has the definition for the leptonica package. That file will be in different locations for different people.
You can find it using the Linux locate utility at the command line. locate lept.pc. (If you've done some recent installing/uninstalling, you may need to refresh the locate utilities database with the command updatedb.)
Whichever directory locate finds the file in, export PKG_CONFIG_PATH as that directory (export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig for example).
Then you can continue your configure/build.
i had a similar problem with trying to compile from source, but did not experience it with
apt-get to install tesseract
sudo apt-get install tesseract-ocr
export LIBLEPT_HEADERSDIR=$dir/letonica168/include
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$anotherdir --with-extra-libraries=/$dir/letonica168/lib
make
make install

FreeType manual integration

I am trying to run a program that manually uses FreeType. I should not compile FreeType to a library but use source code directly. At the moment I can compile my code with no errors. However, when I run my program on Ubuntu it gives a segmentation fault. I believe the problem is related to module structure. I am using FreeType to convert ttf to bitmap, thus I included tt, sfnt, and psnames modules. However, there is something wrong with their initialization I guess.
Why are you avoiding Ubuntu's provided libfreetype6 and libfreetype6-dev packages?
I could understand that you goal might be to make changes to libfreetype, and thus have an easy way to make your needed changes without affecting the rest of the system, but you're always going to want to use FreeType as a library. (Sure, you could statically link against it, but in my experience, statically linking usually adds to problems instead of removing problems.)
So you could install your own local copy of FreeType into /usr/local/lib/ or ~/local/lib/ (use ./configure --prefix=/usr/local or --prefix=~/local/).
Then when compiling your program, you'd use gcc -I ~/local/include -L ~/local/lib ...

boost library gives errors on ubuntu

I am trying to compile a package on ubuntu 8.1
when executing this command: ./configure I get the follwoing error:
checking for Boost headers version >= 103700... no
configure: error: cannot find Boost headers version >= 103700
knowing that I installed needed boost packages using these command:
$ apt-get install libboost-dev libboost-graph-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
Can anybody help please?
thank you. Now it works but i get another error when running ./configure: checking boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp usability... yes checking boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp presence... yes checking for boost/iostreams/device/file_descriptor.hpp... yes checking for the Boost iostreams library... no configure: error: cannot not find the flags to link with Boost iostreams any ideas please?
It could be that the version of boost that you're getting from the Ubuntu repository is too old (it's suggested here that the highest version for 8.10 is 1.35; it looks like your configure script is asking for 1.37). You might need to build from source; there's some more info in the answers to the question I linked to which will hopefully help.
UPDATE:
From your new error, it sounds like configure now can't find the boost_iostreams library. On my system it's /usr/lib/libboost_iostreams-mt.[a|so] - do you have those files (possibly in a different directory depending on where you installed boost)?
You can also try running ldconfig in case there's a missing symlink (from, say,
libboost_iostreams-mt.so.1.37.0 to libboost_iostreams-mt.so).
Is this configure one generated by GNU autoconf? If it is, there should be a file called config.log in the same directory which contains a list of all the commands configure tried to run when looking for things. If there's anything in there about boost_iostreams could you post it?
One totally random guess: some examples I've found on the web link to boost_iostreams without the multi-threading suffix -mt - but I don't have those on my machine at all. Maybe your configure script is running into the same problem?
UPDATE 2
The configure script seems to be looking for a single-threaded debug build of the boost iostreams library, which won't be produced by default when building from source on linux. Also, the default on linux is not to name the libraries based on the build configuration (so the libs you found in /usr/lib might not be the ones you installed from source unless you overrode this). This stuff isn't really explained on the boost website, I only found out by looking in the Jamroot file (bjam --help works too)! Anyway, to get a library with the right build configuration, and named correctly, I need to go into the root of the boost source tree and run:
sudo bjam --with-iostreams --layout=tagged variant=debug threading=single install
For me this puts the libraries (libboost_iostreams-d.a and the shared versions) into /usr/local/lib where ld will find them by default, so this should be fine. If you need them to go somewhere else you can use the --prefix=... option to bjam eg. if you want them in /usr/lib you can do --prefix=/usr. If the package you're building needs more boost libraries you can remove the --with-iostreams and then they'll all be built (or replace iostream with the name of each other library you need).
A side note: I had to install the libbz2-dev package to get boost iostreams to build - it's easy to miss the error here if you build all of boost as there's so much output!
