pulseaudio on armv6l
« on: November 03, 2019, 06:55:17 PM »
I am user of piCorePlayer (piCorePlayer v5.0.0 | linux 4.19.40-pcpCore | piCore v10.1pCP | Squeezelite v1.9.6-1194-pCP) on some older rpi hardware (armv6l).
i want to install pulseaudio on this device.
I looked into these repositories for appropriate version of the package:
- https://repo.picoreplayer.org/repo/
- http://www.tinycorelinux.net
- http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/
with no success.
Could you please tell me where the package may be found?

Hello there,

Trying to port  is a (Squeezlite)  compatability advantage.

Just the nature of Lin  is distro specific.

Maintaining  ones  own  systems  is a labor of love
whille more-over compounds  complexity.

All  user based  systems should  have  multiM  and audio
as standard working from outset.

So,  whatever your doing bases itself on the solidity
of Knowledge......your aims  and reasonable desire.

 There are many free distro's specific to applying multimedia
and  such endevours as Audio.  Very custom and unique.


my point is.....your don't have to make something
which already  exists. 

Kx studio _______ "Distro"  Free  custom  to multi-media  audio.

thx

Vin

ps .....Also there are extremely high level  free Audio apps for ARM based disro's ____ Arch64  distro___
  also (Ardour  app) ..........

Many  high end Audio production environments exist for  ARM and Rasp  Pi  low cost computer including
"Reaper"  plus  Traktion (Waveform) There are also high end professional  auxiliary  ARM based libraries of Audio plug-ins  (synths  etc)  for those  systems.  )

THx

Vin

The most recent version I see for  ARM6  if you want to try it is:
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz
You'll alsop need the  .dep  file:
http://tinycorelinux.net/7.x/armv6/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz.dep
I tried this one. After numerous manual dependency instalations i stucked on:
Code: [Select]
pulseaudio: error while loading shared libraries: libgdbm.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I cant figure out package where library resides. Libgd has huge dependency tree including x11, so i dont really feel that i should be going for that...

For  ARM7  I see this:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv7/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/armv7/tcz/pulseaudio.tcz.dep
Should i even try to install armv7 lib on armv6 board? Wouldnt it cause any hardware conflicts?

Please contact piCorePlayer team for support:
I thought that it is more related to os itself, rather that particular image. Will repost to https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?110642-ANNOUNCE-piCorePlayer-5-0-0.

my point is.....your don't have to make something
which already  exists. 

I am not sure if follow. Do you suggest that i took another distro/image for my purposes?
As a matter of fact i thought that PCP extended by pulseaudio would make me happy ever after...

Hi efreet
libgdbm.so.4  is provided by  gdbm.tcz.

My understanding is that ARM7 extensions are supposed to be compiled to be backwards compatible with ARM6.

As it is now except kernel modules, extensions are built for armv6 and armv6 and v7 repo is identical.

The extensions were compiled in the appropriate way - if you let us know which pulseaudio (and deps) extensions are missing from the piCore 9.x armv6 repo, they can be copied across.
