Unable to compile from sources was created by mcon

I feel a little dumb, but...

I am trying to compile from sources on Linux (Debian Sid, if it matters).

Problem is system seems to try compiling for Windows (and fails, of course).

I haven't found the right spell to compile; here's my latest attempt:

Code:

mcon@cinderella:/tmp/yacreader-9.8.2.2106204$ make
cd YACReader/ && ( test -e Makefile || /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qmake -o Makefile /tmp/yacreader-9.8.2.2106204/YACReader/YACReader.pro CONFIG+=7zip PREFIX=/usr/local ) && make -f Makefile

Until recently 7zip wasn't compatible with Linux/macos, that's why p7zip was born, it has some code that provides alternatives to Windows APIs. That's why you see all that windows stuff.

What version of p7zip are you using?

That patch should work if you are using the right version -> github.com/YACReader/yacreader/blob/deve...hive/README_7zip.txt

You are right.
THANKS!

I made a stupid mistake and downloaded 7z1602-src.7z instead of p7zip_16.02_src_all.tar.bz2
Now compilation got completely through.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work right:
Trying to open any .cbr results in "unable to load 7z lib from ./utils".

Starting YACReader from the command line I also see (I don't know if it's relevant):
WARN 2022-07-14T08:50:20.765 defaultServiceProvider::requestService(): no service found for - "org.qt-project.qt.mediaplayer"

What am I still missing?
TiA!

YACReader loads 7zip (p7zip) dynamically, so you need to have it installed in your system. You can try to install it from a package or building it yourself from the sources. You need the full version that includes RAR support. Remember to install the right version 16.02

Thaks.

I do have p7zip installed, but I strongly doubt it is version 16.02 as I installed normally via `apt`.
I'm not sure downgrading forced is a good idea.

Correction:
packages installed are:
p7zip 16.02+dfsg-8
p7zip-full 16.02+dfsg-8
p7zip-rar 16.02-3

... so it should work (I think).

Note that "from ./utils" seems to suggest YACCReader is trying to load from "the wrong place".

Note also using standard decompression tool (unarr) is not really an option because AFAIK it doesn't handle "modern" (v5) rar files.

What are my options (beside going back to McomiX, of course

)?

TiA!

I will take a look at the code, I don’t remember right now how p7zip is loaded in Linux.

Yes and no. The message is incorrect on Linux, but only half. By default, YACReader will look in /usr/lib/p7zip. If it does not find the files it needs under this path, the message will appear. The problem is most likely that Debian uses a different path, i.e. /usr/lib64/p7zip or something along these lines.

mcon wrote: What are my options (beside going back to McomiX, of course )?

You've got two options. You can either run qmake with LIBDIR=/usr/lib64 (or whatever is correct) to set the correct path in the build system or you can fix things by creating symlinks, either to the path your build expects or if you want something a little more stable in case Debian Sid updates to the latest 7z you can place a copy of p7zip/7z.so and /p7zip/Codecs/Rar.so into /usr/lib/yacreader.

If you go for the copy, I strongly recommend taking a look at the source. This is an old workaround for constantly breaking Linux packages and while it is still in the source, we do not really support this any more (i.e. you're on your own!).

My answers are not necessarily official YACReader statements but mostly represent my own opinion in technical matters.

Thanks selmf.

I will try rebuilding using workarounds you suggested,but I strongly doubt that's the problem:

I also tied copying

Code:

sudo cp ../p7zip/7z.so ../p7zip/Codecs/Rar.so /usr/lib/yacreader

and aloso to

Code:

/usr/local/lib/yacreader

as I installed YACRader in

Code:

/usr/local/bin

.
Nothing changed.

I will try to debug as soon as I get a bit of time.
