Hi, I am not able to build widelands and need some help. In the past, it used to work, but this was before widelands moved to git (i.e. some time ago).

I have all the dependencies installed:

mars@archlinux ~> sudo pacman -S cmake gcc boost git glew make python python2 sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_mixer sdl2_net sdl2_ttf
[sudo] password for mars:

warning: sdl2_net-1:2.0.1-3 is up to date -- reinstalling
warning: sdl2_ttf-2.0.15-2 is up to date -- reinstalling

and cloned the master branch from git:

git clone https://github.com/widelands/widelands.git
Cloning into 'widelands'...

The commit is: c546bc7f609716eaa80dc6d0064932628d1e54d6

  • Building a dev release with running ./compile.sh fails with
    collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 9 [Killed]
    compilation terminated.
    

However, running ./compile.sh again reports all tests as passed and the widelands binary is also present.

  • Starting the dev version fails with

    widelands: ../src/graphic/text/font_set.cc:181: UI::FontSets::FontSets(): Assertion `fontset_selectors.count(fontset_name) == 1' failed.
    fish: “./widelands” terminated by signal SIGABRT (Abort)
    
  • Building a release version succeeds.

  • Starting the release version fails with

Perhaps ld ran out of memory? How much RAM do you have? It easily runs out when linking 7 executables in parallel.

You could try

rm -r build
./compile.sh -j 2

to ease the load on the linker, perhaps that already helps…

Also please check the content of the file data/i18n/fonts.lua, it seems like it might be messed up (edit: if it's not also a linker error)

Memory usage really seems to be (one of the) problem(s). I have 16 GB of memory, but it's more or less all used close to the end of building widelands.

The compile.sh does not understand the -j2 option, but cmake does. I was able to use cmake to build a widelands development version without killed linker processes. But when starting widelands, the same error remains: However, the error messages did not change

The fonts.lua file seems to be ok, my local file matches https://github.com/widelands/widelands/blob/master/data/i18n/fonts.lua. But to be sure a cloned the git repo again for the cmake builds.

I did some more tests and added a log statement before the assertion

mars@archlinux ~/p/wd (master)> git diff
diff --git a/src/graphic/text/font_set.cc b/src/graphic/text/font_set.cc
index eb3d04dd..2786b956 100644

        // Read all fontsets
        std::unique_ptr<LuaTable> fontsets_table(lua.run_script("i18n/fonts.lua"));
        for (const std::string& fontset_name : fontsets_table->keys<std::string>()) {
+               log("fontset_name: %s %ld \n",
+                   fontset_name.c_str(), fontset_selectors.count(fontset_name));
                assert(fontset_selectors.count(fontset_name) == 1);
                FontSets::Selector selector = fontset_selectors.at(fontset_name);
                fontsets[selector] = std::unique_ptr<FontSet>(new FontSet(fontset_name));

The results are unexpected:

There is no myanmar in the whole git repo and I am not sure where it comes from. My only guess is some old system-wide config files. I will do some more investigation tomorrow.

This is the problem:

Adding directory: /usr/share/widelands

You have Build 20 installed from the Arch repositories and Widelands loads the data directory from that older version. To make it use the proper data directory start it with:

./widelands --datadir=./data

See also issue #3490 and issue #3776.

Thanks for the help and the links to the github issues!

Adding the datadir option solved my problem.
