Missing dependency OpenMW

English Games
1

Dear all,

We all have this one game we always come back to. For me it’s Morrowind. However I have problems coming back to it on OpenSUSE, because I’m having trouble installing the package. See:

Problem: nothing provides libboost_filesystem.so.1.71.0()(64bit) needed by openmw-0.46.0-21.1.x86_64

Should I file this as a bug, or is there a solution? Not sure, I’m new to OpenSUSE. :slight_smile: I’m installing it from the ‘games’ repository, after having similar problems in the ordinary repo.

Thanks!

TW currently has libboost* 1.74

openmw at present is not building for TW at either “games” or “factory”

https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/games/openmw
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory/openmw

So yes, either a bug report or contact the maintainer.

Cheers! Filed a bug.

I was feeling brave and tried to solve this myself by changing the dependency in the openmw.spec from:


 5-BuildRequires:  libboost_filesystem-devel

to

 5-BuildRequires:  libboost_filesystem1_74_0

However, that gives me the following error(s) when trying to build the package:

Perhaps anyone here can see what’s going wrong?

I think, there is also a dependency in the cmake-file of the sources.
You have to patch it.

6

Hm, yes that must be it. Just can’t seem to find the reference to the dependency… :frowning:

7

Have you just tried installing the newer version in the TW repo, then running openmw to see if it works?
Depending on internal code, you may not see a problem.
That’s because AFAik libboost does not require compiling, so may “just work.”

BTW - Is still in a couple of private repos for 15.1, 15.2.
If you download and install the package and don’t add the repository, I’d guess that using either of these would probably be OK and shouldn’t affect other apps on your system (although YMMV) and AFAIK isn’t used in any core OS functions.

If you’re on BTRFS, this is one of those things that can be undone without a trace by rolling back if a regular uninstall doesn’t remove it completely.

Hi
The actual error is regex missing, install libboost_regex-devel, but there is a build error which indicates algorithm is missing…

Wow that’s great! Thank you! I’ll start playing tonight, as a celebration. :slight_smile:

Hello, sorry to resurrect such an old thread, but I’m having the same issue, and it didn’t seem right to create a whole new thread for it. Trying to install OpenMW, I get the message that nothing provides " libboost_filesystem.so.1.76.0()(64bit)"

I have libboost_filesystem1_77_0 installed, as well as libbost_regex-devel, if that’s relevant? I see there are copies of version 1.76 out there, but I’d rather not go out and download packages and installing them over the current 1.77 version without knowing what I’m doing.

The addition in openmw.changes for the building fix update linked above says

Add openmw-add-missing-include.patch: Add missing algorithm
 [6](https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/848769#n6)+  include for later boost releases, (gh#OpenMW/openmw!2817).

which seems like it should cover this case, since the issue is with a later boost release? But I’m very new to all this so not sure :shame:

I’m running the 2021/09/29 version of Tumbleweed.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
There are already a couple of users who have branched the package to likely fix (Look at following links top right for ‘derived packages’), time to play the waiting game…

14

Hi, thank you for the welcome and the help! Three of the four branches show “no data” when I go onto the install page, and for the one that does show something, after adding the repository and trying to download the package from there, I get this error:

The only thing that seems to have changed is now its looking for the same dependency that the OP of this thread was missing. Am I installing it wrong?

15

Hi
That’s an even older build with boost 71… I would suggest waiting for a complete build against Tumbleweed :frowning: If nothing happens in a day or so I can have a look.

16

Okay, thanks for the help! As long as I know it just needs to be updated and I’m not doing something wrong, I don’t mind waiting. :slight_smile: Guess I’ll just keep checking it periodically. In the meantime, there are other games to play and things to do.
