Build my own Vix image

[ccs]

I installed ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386 and used these commands in terminal:

#1 - Install packages on your buildserver
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake bison bzip2 curl cvs diffstat flex g++ gawk gcc gettext git-core gzip help2man ncurses-bin ncurses-dev libc6-dev libtool make texinfo patch perl pkg-config subversion tar texi2html wget zlib1g-dev chrpath libxml2-utils xsltproc libglib2.0-dev python-setuptools zip info coreutils diffstat chrpath libproc-processtable-perl libperl4-corelibs-perl sshpass default-jre default-jre-headless java-common libserf-dev qemu quilt libssl-dev

That list has a lot of differences to the one mentioned here...

Hate to point to another image! .. but have a look at the bottom half of this page
https://github.com/openatv/enigma2

In the git change from OpenATV to Openvix and away you go.

I've just had a play, and a number (loads) of packages on both lists must have failed for one reason or another. eg gcc-8

Sorry, I've not kept any logs, I was just testing Ubuntu on a usb stick, it worked fine, but somehow corrupted windows searching when I rebooted to windows 10.
I had copied one file from the windows filesystem to Ubuntu, surely if Ubuntu lets me do it there shouldn't be a problem?
I had to restore a backup image to get it working again.

I'm still getting build errors and whatever I do, I can't get past an error building qemu-native, even the do-it doesn't compile it.

I've even got a new SSD and installed Ubuntu 20 from scratch and just added the 4.4 build environment. Tried release and developer images for the vuultimo4k and the zgemmah7, all fails at the same point. I did notice several warnings for unable to get checksum file, but that's usual. I'll have another go after the Weekend in case there is a down depositary. It's more likely just me doing something stupid though.

That was the cause of my issues. I then updated to Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and followed the insructions here:

https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/ca408186ba05adc77d84933e189d6a1e636ee011/README.md

Then made sure I had gcc-8 by following the instructions here:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1028601/install-gcc-8-only-on-ubuntu-18-04

I've managed to build 5 OpenViX 5.4.000 release images now.

So to make a developer image is it just a matter of changing 'release' to 'developer' in the script?

MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openatv DISTRO_TYPE=release make image

... and what difference is there?

That was the cause of my issues. I then updated to Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS...

Building on 20.04 LTS (which is 2-years newer....and has been out for a few months) also works fine.

That's what I was using, I'll try again when time/the weather permits.

Yes, me too - even an openatv build is failing for me right now.

This is were I get to, running 20.04 from a usb stick, absolutely bog standard.

Looks like it can't install the required packages due to them being in use in the portable system. If you have a spare HDD or SSD, try installing on that. I've managed to get all the pre-requisites done, except for the

Use update-alternatives for having gcc redirected automatically to gcc-8

as It appears to be already set. I've also completed the step detailed in here -

https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/issues/1780

The builds (openvix and openatv, ZGemma H7 and Vu+ Ultimo4k) start but always bug out with errors, even after several re-runs, so I'm guessing a depository is offline and I'll try again after the weekend

 

[ccs]

Yes - the stick is mounted read-only, the internal hd is mounted as /media/ubuntu/....... and will be why I can save files in the home directory, but not on the stick.

I'd have thought that the error messages (or lack of) would have indicated that the filesystem was read-only??

Yes, to stop you changing system files on the stick

......I'm guessing a depository is offline and I'll try again after the weekend

That would have given you a fetch error.

 

[ccs]

... but I fell flat on my face at the first hurdle.

Full Ubuntu install has got past the first hurdle.

 

[lincsat]

That would have given you a fetch error.

Some of the warnings that flashed through were fetch errors and unable to locate checksum files.

 

[abu baniaz]

you can ignore warnings, errors stop the build.

 

[lincsat]

Well whatever I try and after multiple build attempts using the -k (keep going) argument, there are 3 components that don't build for the ZGemma H7

Summary: 3 tasks failed:

For the Vu+ Ultimo4k, it's just the qemu-native that fails

@CCS have you managed to complete a build or at least do qemu-native

... this is where I'm stuck (about 3 minutes ago)....

I've built a release build for the H7 successfully (openvix-5.4.000.release-zgemmah7_usb)

 

[lincsat]

I get the same

undefined reference to `stime'

@ Willo3092 was your qemu already compiled? I managed to complete a build for the Ultimo4k a few Days ago but since doing a clean Ubuntu install and redownloading the build environment, I can't get that compiled for any image. I'm now wondering if a recent update broke that.

Glibc 2.31 porting notes/stime removal
From the release notes:

* The obsolete function stime is no longer available to newly linked
binaries, and its declaration has been removed from <time.h>.
Programs that set the system time should use clock_settime instead.
Also note something which you may want to fix while in the area:

* We plan to remove the obsolete function ftime, and the header
<sys/timeb.h>, in a future version of glibc. In this release, the
header still exists but calling ftime will cause a compiler warning.
All programs should use gettimeofday or clock_gettime instead.
