I'm trying to build: https://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer
But it looks like it errors out on:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../.. -I/usr/include/python2.7 -std=c99 x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -fPIC -MT libstructcompare_a-structcompare.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/libstructcompare_a-structcompare.Tpo -c -o libstructcompare_a-structcompare.o `test -f 'structcompare.c' || echo './'`structcompare.c
gcc: error: x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc: No such file or directory
x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
definitely exists in /usr/bin (It's a symlink) and the target definitely exists as well. It looks to me like the Makefile wasn't generated correctly, perhaps there is a flag that should be passed before specifying x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc? I am unsure as well what specifying x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
is supposed to accomplish.
Finally, this makefile was generated by configure, so once we narrow down the cause of the error, I'll have to figure out what files to modify in order to fix this. (I'm a CMake kind of guy myself, but of course I didn't choose the build system for this project.) My OS is Debian.
I've tried building this branch as well: https://github.com/kanzure/nanoengineer/branches/kirka-updates
If you can try getting this to build on your system, I would greatly appreciate it! Thanks!
After a fair amount of work, I was able to get it to build on Ubuntu 12.04 x86 and Debian 7.4 x86_64. I wrote up a guide below. Can you please try following it to see if it resolves the issue?
If not please let me know where you get stuck.

Troubleshooting
On Debian Jessie, you will receive the error message that cant pants mentioned. There seems to be an issue in the automake scripts. x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
is inserted in CFLAGS
and gcc
will interpret that as a name of one of the source files. As a workaround, let's create an empty file with that name. Empty so that it won't change the program and that very name so that compiler picks it up. From the cloned nanoengineer directory, run this command to make gcc happy (it is a hack yes, but it does work) ...
touch sim/src/x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc
If you receive an error message when attemping to compile HDF5 along the lines of: "error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error: open with O_CREAT in second argument needs 3 arguments", then modify the file perform/zip_perf.c, line 548 to look like the following and then rerun make...
output = open(filename, O_RDWR | O_CREAT, S_IRUSR|S_IWUSR);
If you receive an error message about Numeric/arrayobject.h not being found when building Nanoengineer, try running
export CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include/python2.7
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you receive an error message similar to "TRACE_PREFIX undeclared", modify the file sim/src/simhelp.c lines 38 to 41 to look like this and re-run make:
#ifdef DISTUTILS
static char tracePrefix[] = "";
#else
static char tracePrefix[] = "";
If you receive an error message when trying to launch NanoEngineer-1 that mentions something similar to "cannot import name GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_ARB", modify the lines in the following files
/usr/local/bin/NanoEngineer1_0.9.2.app/program/graphics/drawing/setup_draw.py
/usr/local/bin/NanoEngineer1_0.9.2.app/program/graphics/drawing/GLPrimitiveBuffer.py
/usr/local/bin/NanoEngineer1_0.9.2.app/program/prototype/test_drawing.py
that look like this:
from OpenGL.GL import GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_ARB
from OpenGL.GL import GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER_ARB
to look like this:
from OpenGL.GL.ARB.vertex_buffer_object import GL_ARRAY_BUFFER_AR
from OpenGL.GL.ARB.vertex_buffer_object import GL_ELEMENT_ARRAY_BUFFER_ARB
I also found an additional troubleshooting text file that has been removed, but you can find it here
You just need to enter this command:
sudo apt install python-dev gcc
the error can be due to one of several missing package. Below command will install several packages like g++, gcc, etc.
sudo apt-get install build-essential
apt-get install python-dev
...solved the problem for me.
sudo apt-get -y install python-software-properties && \
sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common && \
sudo apt-get -y install gcc make build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python-dev
You need the libssl-dev and libffi-dev if especially you are trying to install python's cryptography libraries or python libs that depend on it(eg ansible)
