Hello, I am trying to get Avogadroapp to build.

I have difficultly building this because I can’t find the same software in Fedora so I can’t steal spec file from them.
I do find a PKGBUILD on AUR. https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/PKGBUILD?h=avogadro2-git
Which I find the list of dependencies from.

CMake Error at avogadro/CMakeLists.txt:1 (find_package):
   16s]   Could not find a package configuration file provided by "AvogadroLibs" with
   16s]   any of the following names:
   16s] 
   16s]     AvogadroLibsConfig.cmake
   16s]     avogadrolibs-config.cmake
   16s] 
   16s]   Add the installation prefix of "AvogadroLibs" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
   16s]   "AvogadroLibs_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
   16s]   "AvogadroLibs" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
   16s]   has been installed.
   16s] 
   16s] 
   16s] -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
   16s] See also "/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/avogadroapp-1.93.0/CMakeFiles/CMakeOutput.log".
   16s] error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vnxtN7 (%build)
   16s] 
   16s] 
   16s] RPM build errors:
   16s]     Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.vnxtN7 (%build)

I believe it is looking for AvogadroLibsConfig.cmake or avogadrolibs-config.cmake which it doesn’t find.

Which I believe I have to use this build flag

-DAvogadroLibs_DIR=%{_prefix} \

but it does not work, likely that the directory to the libs are wrong, but I am not sure where or how to find out.
Thanks.

Hi
The libs are a separate package you need to build first… https://github.com/OpenChemistry/avogadrolibs then once this is built add as a dependancy…

#3

Hello,

avogadrolibs is available in opensuse official repo, but strangely not avogadroapp.

Anyway, I did add it to my spec file as

BuildRequires:  avogadrolibs

I believe my path that I set for cmake to find it might not be correct. I’m not sure how to go about looking for it.

Hi
You need the development package;

cmake(AvogadroLibs) or avogadrolibs-devel

#5

Thanks,

I recently found out I need to have Molequeue package as well for avogadro to build, this gonna be tough.

#6

Hi
Is molequeue python3 ready?

I see https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:fusion809/molequeue

#7

I will just ask fusion809 to submit their package to science repo.

Hi
Problem is it’s old code, there has not been an updated in a number of years and it doesn’t seem to be python3, in saying that it may be declined and won’t build for Tumbleweed.

lel fusion just did
