Vivado 2018.3 and DocNav on Debian 10 (Buster)

Late last year the ageing effects of my old GNU/Linux desktop system became so severe that ignoring them would soon not be an option anymore. One of the hard disks developed problems a while ago and although I was able to fix it so that finally the extended SMART test passed again without errors, it still continued to report errors in the form of "unreadable (pending) sectors". The on-board USB controller also complains about one of the internal USB ports for a long time and one DDR3 ram module had to be replaced as diagnosed by the wonderful Memtest86.

On top of all this, the Club 3D Radeon X1300PRO dual DVI graphics card started to occasionally hang the whole system a few seconds after waking up from suspend. Or at least that is what I suspect as the system never recorded error messages in the log files. The display however did visibly degrade and I think I saw some drm error message flash by at some point.

Be that as it will, I was glad that I got the chance to replace the system in time and gradually move stuff off a functioning system instead of attaching disassembled hard disks to a new system. The AMD Ryzen 5 2400G system from ARLT Computer, available without Windows, looked like very good value for money. Together with an HDMI to DVI adapter it should also easily power my two DVI monitor setup and so it did not take long until one of them stood beside my desk for installation. As the Ryzen CPU was introduced early in 2018 and the Linux 4.9 kernel at the core of Debian Stretch was released end of 2016, it was clear that I needed to go for the yet unreleased Debian Buster based on Linux 4.19.

Buster from Toy Story

All in all things went smoothly until I turned to the Xilinx tool chain that already gave me minor problems described in my previous post Fixing DocNav 2017.04 on Debian Stretch.

In this new combination, already the installation of the 2018.3 edition of SDSoC got stuck nearly at the end of the installation:

Installation Hang

Luckily enough, the installation writes a verbose log file and so it was easy to find the reason what the installer tried last:

dzu@krikkit:~$ tail -3 ~/.Xilinx/xinstall/xinstall_1550052636842.log
2019-02-13 11:25:19,348 DEBUG: o.p:? - Executing script Run setupLibTinfo: /opt/Xilinx/.xinstall/SDx_2018.

xlpartinfo.tcl, -tclargs, /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.3/data/parts/installed_devices.txt]
dzu@krikkit:~$

So let's see the ouput of this command when run interactively:

dzu@krikkit:~/.Xilinx$ /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.3/bin/vivado -nolog -nojournal -mode batch -source /opt/Xilinx/.xinstall/SDx_2018.3/scripts/xlpartinfo.tcl -tclargs /opt/Xilinx/Vivado/2018.3/data/parts/installed_devices.txt-foo
application-specific initialization failed: couldn't load file "librdi_commontasks.so": libtinfo.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
%
dzu@krikkit:~/.Xilinx$

Aha. So at least the first problem should be easy to fix:

dzu@krikkit:~$ apt-file search libtinfo.so.5
libtinfo5: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5

As retrying the Vivado invocation now succeeded, I cancelled the installation making sure not to delete all the downloaded files. Running the installer once more gets me a working tool chain:

DocNav, however, again refuses to cooperate with the known symptoms:

dzu@krikkit:~$ docnav
docnav: error while loading shared libraries: libpng12.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
dzu@krikkit:~$

The workaround from my post Fixing DocNav 2017.04 on Debian Stretch does not apply in the new context. As one comment points out, the Wheezy version of libpng12-0 is not available anymore and even the Jessie version referenced in the comment again yields the same problem (also one needs to install the dummy package "multiarch-support"):

dzu@krikkit:~$ sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 193649 files and directories currently installed.)
Preparing to unpack .../libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb ...

Errors were encountered while processing:
 /home/dzu/Downloads/libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3_amd64.deb
dzu@krikkit:~$

So what next? If all the binaries do not work, then maybe we have to go back to the source and fix the problem ourselves. Although the error message is confusing it seems that the package tries to create a link to the shared object file which ultimately leads to the error. Let's see if we can circumvent this somehow.

Having installed the required packages for building Debian packages (at least "debuild", "debhelper" and "devscripts") we can commence building the package in question on our own system. The first thing is to find the source links for the Debian package here. Downloading and unpacking them is a simple task:

Now that we have the sources and the build instructions, checking the debian sub-directory we quickly see candidates for the problem we want to fix. So let's remove the "debian/libpng12-0.links" and "debian/libpng12-0.links.in" file and remove the handling in the "debian/rules" file. Here is a diff of these small changes:

dzu@krikkit:~/src/debian/libpng12-0$ diff -ur libpng-1.2.50.ORIG libpng-1.2.50

Before building the package, we differentiate it from the upstream release by adding a local build suffix "dzu":

[DocNav GUI pops up]

Phew, finally. If you are not brave enough to go through all of this yourself and if you trust my changes, you can download a copy of the Debian package directly from this web site. You should expect to see this hash:

dzu@krikkit:~/src/debian/libpng12-0/libpng-1.2.50$ sha256sum ../libpng12-0_1.2.50-2+deb8u3dzu1_amd64.deb

Update 2020-01-21

Added sha256 output to enable verification of download.

Update 2020-05-21

Added syntax coloring. See my new post Syntax Colors For My Blog for more details.
