Arch Linux User Repository

Package broken! Compilation gives me an error:

STATUS: Performing Test HAVE_DECL_DAEMON  
STATUS: Performing Test HAVE_DECL_DAEMON - Failed

STATUS: Performing Test HAVE_WORKING_DAEMON_FUNCTION - Failed
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:2712 (CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS):
  Unknown CMake command "CHECK_SYMBOL_EXISTS".

EDIT: I fixed (here is how)[1] the above issue but brlcad still does not start

[1] https://bit.ly/2HbLRwd

brlcad will tab-complete, but does not run after installing.

[ctag@comp ~]$ brlcad
brlcad         brlcad-config  
[ctag@comp ~]$ brlcad
bash: brlcad: command not found

Edit: Ok, I just learned that the ui is separated from brlcad. Running /opt/brlcad/bin/mged produces a flickering screen that I can't use. Running /opt/brlcad/bin/archer seems to work!

brlcad is failing the validity check when I try to install it.

brlcad is now in arch4edu repository:

[arch4edu]
SigLevel = Never
Server = http://mirrors.tuna.tsinghua.edu.cn/arch4edu/$arch

Sorry for answering that late.

The solution is quite old:

At the end is the solution.


As I removed brlcad and did the mkinitcpio again all was running fine afterwards.

@Baumi: Thanks for reporting this issue. My system does not reproduce this situation; would you be able to provide further information on how you identified this?

brlcad is quite dangerous.
If you installed it and do a update inlcluding "mkinitcpio -p linux" your system will be broken.
The reason is, that some modules from gzip are not compatible between brlcad and your running system. And mknitcpio accidentally takes the wrong one to create an image.
Only repair method: uninstall brlcad, do an manual "mkinitcpio -p linux" and reboot. At least on my box it worked.

@ejno, no I hadn't. If it's documented somewhere I missed it, sorry

@Lacrymology: Hi, did you re-login or source /etc/profile.d/brlcad.sh ?

I can't see any binaries installed in a common path location.
