..:: PCSX2 Forums ::..

Hi Gumbo, thank you for that info. And also, I don't think that Fedora RPM's will get through using yum --localinstall, if ever I use that.

Recently I'm getting some strange results when I try to test build an rpm for Fedora. While I can compile the code perfectly from the command line, the rpm build gives unusual errors. Culd these be a problem with pcsx2 i.e. new dependencies? (although I don't think rpmbuild is a sandbox and this code compiles outside of the command) - or is this a problem with rpmbuild command itself (thus requiring a bug report to Fedora)?

Any advice would be gratefully received...


I think this configure diaogue is unusual, as there is not an error usually with wxWidgets, libaio etc. etc.

Just for the record, current Fedora dependencies included in the rpm are:


Build is broken:

Did you add the new cross build option?

I added this and get

Hmmm - failing to detect libraries, I checked again and this error is present outside rpmfusion - doesn't make sense as these should be the versions present in Fedora...

Whatever the cause of this error, the build completes outside rpmbuild, but fails within it, as before.

Do you think the error might be to do with a bug in the rpmbuild environment? I can't think of any other reason.

Did you enable the DISABLE_ADVANCE_SIMD option?

I have now, but still no improvement. Also tried DCMAKE_WX28_API=TRUE but no improvement (anyway shouldn't be needed)

This must be the source of the problem....


But all these libraries check out, not sure why configure is missing them, it never used to.


I've just checked the build environment by going back and compiling pcsx2-1.2 again - it configures and builds with no problems.

I'm stumped...

Can yoou post the full log with latest option (disable ..., and cmake cross building).

In your previous log, -msse2 was not enabled but instead it uses native arch which was wrong.

Edit: by the way you have extra hardening flags that might explain others compilation error.

Hi Gregory,

Sorry it's taken me awhile to reply - lot of plates to keep spinning these days.
The build log is attached.[attachment=53877]

I'm not sure why the flags are being hardened like this. My understanding is that rpmbuild takes the local parameters and echo %CFLAGS does not give me any output, implying nothing is set. I can't find anything that would indicate rpmbuild has changed, but I'll search more over the next few days.

By the way, I've altered the spec file so that no changes are made to the flags specified by pcsx2.

edit: downloaded latest git and compiled normally (outside rpmbuild) - not detecting libraries for e.g. wxwidgets, so not building core. Completes build otherwise. Buildlog attached.[attachment=53879]

You set the option -DCMAKE_DISABLE_ADVANCE_SIMD=TRUE whereas it ought to be -DDISABLE_ADVANCE_SIMD=TRUE

On the flags topic they are set by some scripts. Or maybe they use a special gcc wrapper (arch does that).

Thanks for that gregory -
The build works with the correct version of DISABLE_ADVANCED_SIMD

so no problem with rpmbuild afterall

However I'm still failing to detect vital libraries - and so not building pcsx2 core. Perhaps there are some new dependencies I'm missing, or perhaps the libraries are not showing up because Fedora puts them in a strange place?

Anyway this is the result of configure on the most recent git is this:
