I don't understand why freebsd fails but for Ubuntu 22, it's the usual tsdl issue

[jmid]

This is failing on

• SUSE Tumbleweed which is missing the LibSDL2-devel package https://pkgs.org/download/libSDL2-devel
• Ubuntu 22.04 which has libsdl2-dev_2.0.20 but https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/SDL_RenderGetWindow came in 2.0.22
• x86_32 with Fatal error: exception Failure("Error f500.ttf is not a regular file or pipe")
• FreeBSD with Fatal error: exception Dl.DL_error("Undefined symbol \"TTF_Init\"")

The former two are clearly distribution-related, and thus not issues with tsdl-ttf.

For x86_32 I'm not sure what is going on. The f500.ttf is clearly a file in the repo. Furthermore the arm32 workflows are passing, so it doesn't seem to be a 32-bit issue... 🤔

For FreeBSD I'm wondering whether it could be PATH-related to where FreeBSD stores its shared objects -- see pkg-plist: as obtained via: make generate-plist and press Expand this list (17 items) here: https://www.freshports.org/graphics/sdl2_ttf/.
I've also checked and TTF_Init should be available since 2.0.12 https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2_ttf/TTF_Init which 2.24.0 on FreeBSD is plenty above.

[sanette]

TTF_init is not found because the SDL2_ttf library cannot be loaded.

I have made some tests with freebsd: pkg-config --variable=libdir SDL2_ttf returns /usr/local/lib/, but still,
/usr/local/lib/libSDL2_ttf.so is not found...
(and I also tried with libSDL2_ttf-2.0.so.0 but same..)
That's very strange, I don't understand. Is the freebsd CI correctly configured?

[jmid]

I don't know, but I also don't understand enough of the situation yet 🤷

https://github.com/ocaml/opam-repository/wiki/How-to-deal-with-CI#annex suggests adding flags: verbose to the relevant packages to help figure out what's going on.

Searching a bit, also turned up sdl-config and sdl2-config (rather than pkg-config) for looking up build parameters:
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/Installation
https://wiki.libsdl.org/SDL2/FAQLinux

[sanette]

to me that's a CI bug, not a reallife one

[sanette]

ok so some more tests:

https://ocaml.ci.dev/github/sanette/tsdl-ttf/commit/28a3b27aeea8619d9ab6bf254b376bade89bf30d/variant/freebsd-14.3-5.4_opam-2.5

we see that the Dl.open error is in fact:

"/usr/local/lib/libpcre2-8.so.0: version PCRE2_10.47 required by /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0 not defined"

so clearly the Freebsd CI is not correctly configured

[jmid]

OK, thanks for sharing these details - I agree something seems off! 🙏
