Error: Could NOT find GLEW

[Freeplayg]

Unless I'm being dumb because new to linux, I think glew is already installed. If not, can someone please tell how to install it?

[OposDev]

If you're on Debian (Or another OS that utilizes apt) try installing the libglew-dev package, this should fix this error :D

[Freeplayg]

I'm on Fedora, sadly D:

[OposDev]

Maybe Fedora has a similar package in their repositories? Try to find one specified as a lib / dev package.

https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-aarch64/libGLEW-2.2.0-2.fc36.aarch64.rpm.html

https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-aarch64/glew-devel-2.2.0-2.fc36.aarch64.rpm.html

I don't use Fedora, but these packages seem promising.

[Freeplayg]

Thanks! That seemed to fix that issue, but now I'm missing something else: Could NOT find SDL (missing: SDL_LIBRARY SDL_INCLUDE_DIR)

This one is a bit harder for me to find... I've seen people say to do

sudo apt-get install libsdl-image1.2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl-dev.

but no equivalent for dnf...

[OposDev]

Hmmmm.. from looking at the repository, you might be able to fix that by installing either:

https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-aarch64/SDL_mixer-1.2.12-24.fc36.aarch64.rpm.html
https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-x86_64/SDL_image-1.2.12-30.fc36.x86_64.rpm.html
https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-aarch64/SDL_image-1.2.12-30.fc36.aarch64.rpm.html

I'm currently having some issues with the makefile trying to find SDL_mixer.h, but it might be different with this. Hopefully one of these packages work for you! The main dev would know more.

[Freeplayg]

They didn't, sadly

[Freeplayg]

Oh wait, installing https://fedora.pkgs.org/36/fedora-x86_64/SDL_image-devel-1.2.12-30.fc36.x86_64.rpm.html seemed to fix that! Now for LZ4 (missing: LZ4_LIBRARY LZ4_INCLUDE_DIR LZ4_GOOD_VERSION) which I'll try to find... found

[Freeplayg]

Now I'm getting a new type of error...

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
  Found relative path while evaluating include directories of "wallengine":

    "FFMPEG_AVCODEC_INCLUDE_DIR-NOTFOUND"

Which, I'm not sure how to fix this one...

[OposDev]

Is FFmpeg installed?

What about these libraries?
sudo apt install libavcodec-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev (ofc, the fedora variants)

[Freeplayg]

Installing those seem to have worked! It said FFmpeg was already installed but I guess I need those, as well.
But I'm now getting this and I once again... have no idea what to do.

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
X11_Xxf86vm_LIB (ADVANCED)
    linked by target "wallengine" in directory /home/test/linux-wallpaperengine

Thank you for willing to help, btw

[OposDev]

I was reading through older issue tickets and came across this:
#72 (comment)

Perhaps you have the same issue? From your error, it looks like you're also missing the xxf86vm library package.

You're welcome :D

[Freeplayg]

Installing that worked! But now... I think I'm actually having the same issue you have in #113 ... D:

[mihawk90]

Same as in the linked issue, go through the list of requirements in the readme and install the respective development packages.

[Almamu]

@Freeplayg please check the requirements specified in the readme and ensure that you have the right (dev/lib) packages for those installed.
