Notmuch mail indexer - talloc requirement?

Notmuch mail indexer - talloc requirement?

[Joe Rochette]

Hi, 

I've been using mutt and offlineimap for sometime in cygwin to make my
windows system feel more at home.  

What I do miss however from my linux systems is the notmuch mail
indexer.  (http://notmuchmail.org/) 

According to the source tarball INSTALL file notmuch depends on four
libraries: Xapian, GMime 2.4 or 2.6,
Talloc, and zlib.  I believe i can get each of these from cygwin
packages with the exception of Talloc:

    Talloc
    ------
    Talloc is a memory-pool allocator used by Notmuch.

    Talloc is an extremely lightweight and easy-to-use tool for
    allocating memory in a hierarchical fashion and then freeing
    it with a single call of the top-level handle. Using it has
    made development of Notmuch much easier and much less prone to
    memory leaks.

    Talloc is available from http://talloc.samba.org/


I have attempted to compile Talloc (to in-turn compile Notmuch) and
after a long-running ./configure step i get an error on make which is
pasted below:   

[joe@my_pc talloc-2.1.1]$ make

WAF_MAKE=1 PATH=buildtools/bin:../../buildtools/bin:$PATH waf build
Waf: Entering directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin'
[16/18] Linking default/cygpytalloc-util-2.dll
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.9.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -ltalloc
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Waf: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/joe/talloc-2.1.1/bin'
Build failed:  -> task failed (err #1):
        {task: cc_link pytalloc_util_6.o -> cygpytalloc-util-2.dll}
Makefile:6: recipe for target 'all' failed
make: *** [all] Error 1


Any ideas on what might be the issue?  Is anyone running notmuch (or
talloc) for anything out there?

Thanks in advance,

Looks like a simple path problem in Makefile.  It just can't find
the lib when linking.

Ok, thanks for the hint.  Any idea on how i should go about correcting
this?  I have no idea where -ltalloc should be... but i'm assuming i can
link it with ld before the make?

Thanks again,  -Joe

IIUC you're *building* talloc, so I assume the link lib is
part of the build directory.  I can't tell you why it doesn't
find the lib, though.  Something you have to hunt down.

Because this package uses waf, which is one of the very worst build
systems out there, and even worse is that IIRC samba products use a
*forked* waf.  You'll have to patch it in order for it to find the
in-tree libtalloc.  (Exactly how depends on which version of waf they're
using nowadays.)

I realize this is a bit over a year old, but I'm in exactly the same
situation.  I was able to complete the talloc compile and install by going
into the bin/defaults directory and linking cygtalloc_2.dll to both
talloc.dll and cygtalloc.dll, and the same for cygpytalloc-util-2.dll.

However, even then, when doing ./configure on notmuch I still get errors:

/usr/include/xapian/version.h:28:2: error: #error The C++ ABI version of
compiler you are using does not match

/usr/include/xapian/version.h:31:2: error: #error The Xapian library was
built with g++ 4.8.3
 
My current g++ is 5.3.0.  At some point, I'll try recompiling Xapian myself,
but I wonder whether this hasn't caused problems for anyone else.

(I'm posting from gmane because I don't still have this message, although I
am subscribed to the list.)

Does this help?

     ./configure CXXFLAGS="-g -O2 -D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0"

It should force the compiler to use to older ABI.

Dave.

I'll let you know.  Right now, I'm almost done compiling xapian with my 
current setup.  If that fails, or takes too long, I'll try your 
suggestion.  (Then we'll see what other issues pop up with notmuch.)

Oddly, no.  With that line, I get "Unrecognized option: CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 
-D_GLIBCXX_USE_CXX11_ABI=0".  Passing it as an environment variable 
seems to have no effect.  (I thought I had recompiled xapian, which I 
thought would have used the new ABI, but even that didn't seem to make 
any difference.)

Other ideas?

Hi Jack,

What exactly did you do by 'going into the bin/defaults directory and
linking cygtalloc_2.dll to both talloc.dll and cygtalloc.dll, and the same
for cygpytalloc-util-2.dll'? I'll still trying to 'make' talloc, but still
get the error 'cannot find -ltalloc'.

Kind regards,

Corne

Starting from the main directory where the the tarball has been  
expanded, "cd bin/defaults" then "ln -s cygtalloc_2.dll talloc.dll" and  
"ln -s cygtalloc_2.dll cygtalloc.dll" and the equivalent two for the  
other dll.  I did this from a cygwin shell in mintty.  (I don't have  
that laptop booted up right now, so this is from memory.  My desktop is  
Linux, so I can't confirm from here.)
