Manjaro Build Assistance  

RE: Manjaro Build Assistance

Word Fence keeps knocking me off when I try to post some output.

RE: Manjaro Build Assistance

What do you want assistance with? Please be more specific.

RE: Manjaro Build Assistance

Thanks.  Didn't see anything on source code builds there and/or solutions to errors.  I still can't post the prusa-slicer error message here as it keeps knocking me into Word Fence and deletes my post.  Need to solve that problem first.  Frustrating!  I was hoping to be able to get a set of working build steps for Manjaro which might help others interested in building from source code.

I need assistance with resolving an error message I don't understand.  But I can't post it here for people to examine.  Thanks.

Hi Scott, 
Have you tried putting the information into a Zip file?

Joan - Thanks.  I have it saved in a text file.  It's only a few lines per errors  I've needed to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to avoid gtk2 libraries from not being found.  So I'm past that.  I'm hoping the errors I'm getting now can be resolved with a similar approach.  If the .txt file link works I can provide the output of the cmake if required.  Thanks for the quick response.

OK looks like the errors link above does work.  So you can see what's going on.  Would be happy to provide any additional information you need.  Take care.

I just went through all the steps of compiling the PrusaSlicer source on fresh Linux Mint 19.3 x64 to track down a problem with 3D mouse on Linux (issue #3388). The official build instructions can be found here: How to build - Linux et al.md

I made a shell script to build from scratch (my noob script) on Linux Mint (Ubuntu based). I'm in the process of adding some more comments and testing. I will be happy to share.

Thanks.  I did too without any issues.  Except as noted above.  Linux has the annoying habit of loose standards where things are saved.  I'm dealing with that now on Manjaro.  The PrusaSlicer app image runs fine.  So this build exercise is purely a learning step.  I've got a library somewhere that Slicer can't find it.  It's complaining about the /resource directory which it looks for relative to its binary.

The file PrusaSlicer-2.2.0-rc4+linux-x64-202003151142.tar.bz2 runs but prusa-slicer ends with a ton of errors.  That's another problem to look into.  One step at a time.  Thanks for the assistance and links.  Take care.

I'd love to see the script!  I prefer Mint, and was planning on eventually doing the same thing.  I'm still messing around with the firmware after a strange issue with Mint that I can't replicate in anything else, and haven't really looked at the Slicer.  I'm sure it will save me time, thanks!!

I have attached my latest PrusaSlicer build script to build on a fresh Linux Mint 19.3 x64. It can install needed tools, libraries and compile. Not very fancy but has some comments explaining how to use it. Use it on your own risk 🙂 

I am considering making a wiki page as soon as I figure out how to do that...

RE: Manjaro Build Assistance

@area51

Thanks!!  If you want to host it easily, just pop it onto GitHub - add a wiki, readme, or whatever 😀

like so: https://github.com/itcarsales/prusaPi

I was more thinking of a page in the PrusaSlicer wiki... But don't know how to do it...
