libicui18n.so.55 libicuuc.so.55 not found Ubuntu 18.04

[Oberlus]

I'm trying to compile after upgrading Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04.
First, I had to install cmake:

Code: Select all

sudo snap install cmake --classic

Then cmake worked apparently fine:

But compilation fails at linking (of every executable) do to the lack of libicui18n.so.55 and libicuuc.so.55:

Code: Select all

[100%] Linking CXX executable freeorion
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libicui18n.so.55, needed by /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)
/usr/bin/ld: warning: libicuuc.so.55, needed by /usr/local/lib/libboost_locale.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

I've found that the package I need is libicu55, which is not available in Ubuntu repos, but I could install it doing:

Code: Select all

sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libicu55

Is all this as expected (should every Ubuntu user require to install libicu55 independently) or is something wrong with my system?

Now compilation advances a bit more, but still fails:

It looks very strange that boost installed in local and cmake have to be installed from snap. I think it's a main issue here.

It looks very strange that boost installed in local and cmake have to be installed from snap. I think it's a main issue here.

For some reason, cmake and libicu55 are not available in the main repos of Ubuntu 18.04 (they were in all previous releases).
Searching for "Why (the fuck) cmake not in Ubuntu 18.04" gave me only answers on how to install it (two options: snap from one of the maintainers or compile from source).

The last error, undefined references to boost::yarayara:: transform and transform_primary, no idea how to solve it.
I found out there that some similar errors when compiling varied stuff came from having two versions of libboost in the system.
In one place they ask the OP to run

Code: Select all

grep -i boost `find build -name CMakeCache.txt`

Which gaves me

Code: Select all

~$ grep -i boost `find build -name CMakeCache.txt`
find: ‘build’: No such file or directory
^C

It hangs in there for a while until I cancel it. I tried changing the ` for a ' or a ´ which didn't work either.

Edit: I'm so silly (got a coffee). Output of grep -i boost `find -name CMakeCache.txt` while in freeorion-build folder:

I have boost and cmake installed from repos:

Oh... The cmake I've installed is 3.17. Maybe it is messing with local boost. I'll try removing this one and installing the one from repos, which I didn't in first place because of this:

Code: Select all

~$ sudo apt-get install cmake
Reading package lists... Done

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 cmake : Depends: libcurl4 (>= 7.16.2) but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Now idea why libcurl4 "is not going to be installed", something to do with libcurl3 being installed (maybe I messed up something during dist. upgrade).
Trying to install it manually does work though:

Code: Select all

~$ sudo apt install libcurl4
[...]
The following packages will be REMOVED:
  libcurl3 r-base r-base-core r-base-dev r-base-html r-cran-boot r-cran-class
  r-cran-codetools r-cran-kernsmooth r-cran-lattice r-cran-maps
  r-cran-maptools r-cran-mass r-cran-matrix r-cran-mgcv r-cran-nlme
  r-cran-nnet r-cran-rpart r-cran-sp r-cran-spatial r-cran-survival
  r-recommended
[...]

Oh, now I know why I could not install libcurl4, I've just destroyed my R mapping installation that depended on libcurl3 (which I use at job... <sighs>). I guess I'll make it work again with libcurl4.

Now cmake from repo installed just fine.

Thank you very much, o01eg!

[o01eg]

I suppose manually installed R packages should be upgraded manually as well.

The problem seems to be that it can't find boost_python36.
The two log files have no mention to python.

I have the two python versions, 2.7 and 3.6.
I've got mad and decided to go for broke, so I've removed python 2.7, which has also removed a lot of other stuff in my laptop.
I really hate distro upgrades.

It's very strange because CI based on Ubuntu 18.04 found boost-python. Do you have dev package installed?

Code: Select all

-- Found the following Boost libraries:
--   python36

[Oberlus]

It is very strange indeed.

After I removed python2.7 and deleted all files in the build folder, rerunning cmake did find boost_python36, but did not find libboost<something>

I had to install python3.6-dev, which installed some missing libraries including the one above. I also rebooted system to be sure.

However, rerunning cmake again gave me back the boost_python36 problem:

No idea what to do with above suggestion from cmake:

I suppose boost from /usr/local was built without python3 support. You should remove it and install libboost-python-dev or libboost-all-dev from repo.

Like "sudo apt remove libboost1.65" ?


Edit: I went ahead and removed every libboost*.

Now I want to install libboost-whatever, but any thing I try also forces the installation of python2.7, which I don't want. Any way to avoid that?

Not sure if boost in /usr/local was installed with apt.

I couldn't find a way to not get the python 2.7 back into my system apart from downloading and compiling boost myself, but the instructions I found didn't work in my system (most surely because I don't understand something important), so I gave up and installed the whole bunch of shit again:

cmake still fails, it can't find the fucking boost_python36, so this didn't serve any purpose.

Now it also can't find a bunch of other stuff, like the whole SDL2 library that has been wiped out from removing the libboost*. I also removed the whole libreoffice package from my system.

I'm sick of this, for a while.

Should be able to get sdl and other dependencies back by (re)installing freeorion-dev I guess. At least if you used apt* for removing the files. Else i think you could try to remove freeorion-dev and it would try to remove sdl, so an install afterwards should work.

I would also have expected that an upgrade to 18.04 would be smoother than trying to fix the libs. So reading your journey is frightening. Setting boost paths probably is the smoothest way to change the libs versions after building yourself(?)

The main reason why I do the snap releases is to escape this unnecessary install-hell. That works for users. Devs should hopefully be able to upgrade(?).

It should not matter that you have python2 on your system. You can point your default python to python3 (update-alternatives ?)
