[tofuwurst]

hello,

i am trying to build vompclient for archlinuxarm, has anybody else done this sucessfull?

thats what i did so far:

1. install dependencies

pacman -S ffmpeg libcec-rpi imagemagick
2. checkout source from git:

Code Select Expand

git clone http://git.vomp.tv/vompclient.git
cd vompclient
git checkout 0-4-0
3. change GNUmakefile, so that all pathes show to correct locations:

4. make

but i still get an error:

anything i can do?


edit: could be usefull to know which versions of packages are installed

libcec-rpi 2.1.1-1
ffmpeg 1:1.2-2
imagemagick 6.8.4.6-1


[MartenR]

libcec is too new. Since I am developing with raspbian I stick to the pre 2.0 libcec version.

Marten

[tofuwurst]

narf tried to compile an older libcec (1.8.1) but it says its not compatible with actual raspberrypi-firmware. seems to be a dead end...

anything i can do about this, maybe disable libcec support and stick to an alternative input system?

[MartenR]

You should compile the older libcec for yourself, if I remember correctly, it was necessary to patch the libcec somewhere.

[tofuwurst]

i will try that out later, but it will probably break xbmcs cec support. any hint where to find these patches?

edit: ok. thats how far i get till now.

tried to ask in archlinuxarm forum, but never recieved an confirmation mail after my registration... will try next weekend when i have more time...

[MartenR]

Maybe the path is not correct. You should check in the source code of the configure skript, what is causing the failure. Alternatively you can seek in the forum, some posted some change for vomp to work 2.0.

Marten

[tofuwurst]

this starts to get annoying havent luck searching the forum for a patch supporting libcec > 2.0 or patching configure script of libcec so that it will pass firmware check.

however. i decided to compile libcec 1.8.1 without rpi support and stick to a remote sending keyboard events instead. but now ld is not able to link against imagemagick.

any suggestions? or should i switch to raspbian?

[sirwio]

I believe Marten referred to this post:
http://forum.loggytronic.com/index.php?topic=692.0

As mentioned in the post - the changes are trivial. The error received while compiling give a very good hint of what needs to change in  remotelinux.cc and remotelinux.h.

I wiped out my working tree where I had implemented these changes so I can unfortunately not provide a patch.

[tofuwurst]

ok, maybe i will give it a try. but never done something like that before. last time i got in contact with c++ was back in school...
