libpng error in application compiled by bazel - bazel

I am using ubuntu 17.04 to compile tensorflow c++ program related to alexnet that use libpng.
libpng warning: Application was compiled with png.h from libpng-1.6.23
libpng warning: Application is running with png.c from libpng-1.2.53
libpng error: Incompatible libpng version in application and library
When I run the program I get error of uncompatible libpng error and the program halts with segmentation fault.
What is the reason behind it and how can I solve it.

It sounds like you compiled your application with libpng-1.6.23 and at runtime your app tried to use libpng-1.2.53. The two versions are not compatible, so you get a segfault.
There are two possibilities here:
If you're running your program on the same machine you're building on, you have two versions of libpng installed. Use a tool (like slocate) to find the versions and uninstall one of them.
If you're running your program on a different machine(s) than the one you built on. Upgrade libpng to 1.6.23 on those machines.

Can't install Phidgets ROS driver

I have installed the Phidgets libraries following the following link and the "Hello World" example was working, but when I install the Phidgets ROS driver, I get this error:
fatal error: libphidgets/phidget21.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated.
What's causing this? The libraries have been installed by the Linux driver, right?
Phidgets, in their infinite wisdom desired to abandon the "phidget21" architecture and now have a completely different and incompatible phidgets22 driver architecture. When you installed the libraries from their web site, you can only get the version 22 driver architecture :( -- hint, version 21 is still out there on GitHub, so if you go find it, download and install everything should work as expected. Someone will need to migrate all the ROS code to the newer version 22 architecture for this to work as expected.

OpenCV Crosscompile for ARM: highgui error (GTK2+)

I'm have build the OpenCV library from source for Zynq (ARM). But, OpenCV was build on the same PC for x86 (PC) also. Firstly, I can execute every example on my PC without any issues. Secondly, I am able to crosscompile and execute every program on the arm target, except the ones including highgui libraries, where I receive the following error:
OpenCV Error: Unspecified error (The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script) in cvShowImage, file /home/hristov/workspace/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp, line 534
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
what(): /home/user/workspace/opencv/modules/highgui/src/window.cpp:534: error: (-2) The function is not implemented. Rebuild the library with Windows, GTK+ 2.x or Carbon support. If you are on Ubuntu or Debian, install libgtk2.0-dev and pkg-config, then re-run cmake or configure script in function cvShowImage
Yes, I have gone through the forum for solutions for this issue but some answers were unclear and I would like some more detail into this. I have created the OpenCV build for ARM build WITH_GTK and GTK2. Also installed libgtk2.0-dev, pkg-config
However, From another topic on this forum, I learned that the problem lies in setting up the pkg-config: http://answers.opencv.org/question/57945/opencv-gui-with-gtk-2-solved/
Q) Based on the above solution, Do you set the path for PKG_CONFIG_PATH on your ARM platform (Zynq) or on the PC platform (Ubuntu PC)? Because, it is already set to the described path on the ARM platform whereas it is different on the PC Linux platform. More details of the current path is shown below:
PKG_CONFIG_PATH in PC(Ubuntu):
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
PKG_CONFIG_PATH in ARM (Embedded platform):
/usr/local/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig
If the pkg-config must be changed on my PC, to the /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/pkgconfig/ location, I cannot find any pkg-config in that location. Should I create a new one, by copying the folder from my target?
Q) Also, Should the GTK libraries also be installed in the Target Embedded system (ARM)?
Hope someone can help me with this solution as I have rebuild the libraries umpteen times with many different solutions, but to no avail. Thanks!

Cannot resolve symbol in libprotobuf in openwrt

I have cross compiled a client server program to be run on openwrt plattform
I have used protoc version 2.6.1 to generate the .pb.h and .pb.cc files.
I have installed he protobuf package for cross compilation using the this
I have linked the compiled protobuf libraries to the source while compiling.
But when I try to run the executable on the openwrt VM (chaos calmer) it gives me the following error.
symbol '_ZN6google8protobuf8internal13empty_string_B5cxx11E': can't
resolve the symbol in lib './opwenwrt-client'
error image
I can guess the that there is mismatch between linking library.
But I dont understand that everywhere I am using protobuf version 2.1.6.
Any kind of help would be appreciated.
This looks like it's probably caused by using a different compiler / C++ ABI to compile your application vs. libprotobuf.so. See this previous question for more:
Undefined reference to google::protobuf::internal::empty_string_[abi:cxx11]

Linux Version of Z3: Dependency On Old libgmp.so.3

Z3's dependency on libgmp.so.3 is unresolved in the linux package, leaving the user to provide this library. However, this library is very old and is not readily available.
Does anyone know a method for getting around this issue? I am currently running x86_64 and cannot get around this missing dependency without a great deal of hassle.
Is it possible the linux packages could be fixed such they include the expected library in the distribution?
You can get GMP3 by executing sudo apt install libgmp3-dev.
I'm not a Linux expert, but this is the command I used to install GMP before I compiled Z3.
When I installed the virtual machine for running Linux 64, I think I didn't find a package for the more recent versions of GMP.
I will try again. If it doesn't work, I will download the most recent GMP tar ball and build it from scratch.
BTW, the Z3 for Linux 32 comes with two .so files. One of them has GMP statically linked.
The trick I used for building this .so file didn't work for the 64 bit version.
As I said, I'm not a Linux expert, any suggestions on how to build a better Z3 library for Linux x86_64 users are welcome.

Cross Compiling a library from intel to arm

I am using open source C++ library DCMTK from http://dicom.offis.de/dcmtk.php.en.
I have successfully compiled this library on Windows using VC++ IDE, MacOS Xcode, Mac iOS simulator.
But I am not able to compile this library on iOS device as it is ARM based architecture.
DCMTK library compiled very well on Intel architecture.
Now my problem statement is :-
I need to compile this DCMTK C++ library on ARM architecture by cross compilation.
I am using Ubuntu 64 bit machine for cross compilation.
I have installed binaries from GNU ARM tool chain from http://www.gnuarm.com/
I am using GCC toolchain 4.0 binutils-2.16.1, gcc-4.0.2-c-c++, newlib-1.14.0, insight-6.4, TAR BZ2 [65.5MB] binaries for Ubuntu 64 bit machine for ARM cross compilation.
After Installing these binaries on Ubuntu I have set PATH environment variable to
PATH=$PATH/gnu_arm/bin
For configuring the DCMTK C++ library I have run the following command on shell
CC=arm-elf-gcc CXX=arm-elf-g++ AR=arm-elf-ar RANLIB=arm-elf-ranlib ARFLAGS=cruv ./configure –prefix=$home_dicom –target=arm-elf –host=arm-elf –enable-std-includes –disable-threads
It creates a make file properly. Now I am trying to compile the code by using make command, but facing so many compilation errors like :-
1) I tried to compile my first dependent C++ library that is ofstd.
I got error for DIR*, struct dirent, opendir(), closedir() calls.
It includes for these calls, but I did not found any definitions for the above calls in this header file.
2) When I compile another library oflog I got the following errors like
error: nthos was not declared in this scope
error: ntohl was not declared in this scope
error: htons was not declared in this scope
error: htonl was not declared in this scope.
These calls are networking calls and are not defined in any of the header file from GNU ARM tool.
I tried to download the sources of ARM binaries and extracted the tar files and try to copy missing header files to installed GNU ARM on Ubuntu.
For some files it compiles after doing changes to copied header files, and for some again it gives compilation errors.. There is a loop of compilation errors for every file present under DCMTK library as some of the standard header files are missing.
Please suggest if there is any other tool chain available for ARM cross compilation on Ubuntu 64 bit machine.
Or any other good solution apart from this.
Thanks!!!

There are many areas for problems when it comes to cross compiling. There are three main flags for cross compiling. -host , -target, and -build. The -host flash is the machine in which the resulting binaries will run on. The -build flash is the system in which you will be compiling on. The -target flag is for building libraries that will be used in cross compiling. So if you were to build your own gcc tool chain. So in your case you won't set the target flag as we're not building a tool chain. the -host flag will be arm-elf. And the -build flag will be amd64.
Usually a cross compilation fails if there are inconsistencies between the regular c compiler and the cross compiler. I have compiled several libraries for the avr32 with a toolchain generated by buildroot, but in some cases (socat project for example) it hasn't been possible.
Your host, your target and the CXX flags look ok. I think it is not necessary to put the AR flag (that is the idea with the host and target option).
In other hand, this is an example for the expat libraries for the avr32:
./configure --host=avr32-linux --prefix=/home/juan/builds/build_expat/ CC=avr32-linux-gcc
make; make install
I can recommend you that tries to cross compile from an ia32 architecture. I had several problems with that ubuntu in the past.
