Logitech Media Server (LMS) on TC.7

[jgrulich]

Béla,
I'll try to build the perl 5.20.3 from git to support the armv6 and arm-linux-gnueabihf-thread-multi-64int.
What to set up to have it working?

[bmarkus]

-march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp

in CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS

These flags are used to build piCore.

[jgrulich]

Add this to the config generation?

Code: (bash) [Select]

./Configure -des -Dprefix=$HOME/localperl -march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp


[jgrulich]

Sorry to disturb again, but the config refuse to define flags CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS.
How to define them? Where are they located?

[Juanito]

Something like:

Code: [Select]

sh Configure -des -Dcc="gcc -march=i486 -mtune=i686 -Os -pipe" -Dprefix=/usr/local...
(Adjusted for armv6 obviously)

[jgrulich]

Hence seems that the flags are important, may be this will work:

Code: (bash) [Select]

sudo ./Configure -des -Dprefix=/mnt/mmcblk0p2/localperl -A CFLAGS="-march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp" -A CXXFLAGS="-march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp"

Béla, is that correct?

[bmarkus]

Do not know, never used -A switch. I adviced few times to check how stock version built. Information is available in the repo.

That doesn't work Bela.   Perl's Configure script, nor the makefile honor a standard CFLAGS environment variables or command line switches.

I built perl natively on a rpi model B.....it is built and passes all tests.    It gets the same Illegal Operation Error.  I don't think this is a base perl problem, but a binary within slimserver.   I'm still looking

[Paul_123]

I even tried going back to perl 5.14.4, which is what I'm running on my wandboard LMS server.... That is the version on LMS specifically built for the rpi over a year ago.

And I'm getting errors in perl module Errno not exporting the right signals.   Strange.

What are you excuting to get illegal instruction, how can I reproduce it?

[jgrulich]

Paul,

I'm afraid that it's not related to the slimserver, because the same version works on the Rasbian Jessie well.
Wondering how to extract the perl from there, but it's located on may different places.

[jgrulich]

Béla,

Install the perl-5.20.3.tcz and slimserver.tcz provided by the Paul on B, or B+ board and run

Code: (bash) [Select]

/usr/local/slimserver/slimserver.pl --d_startup
you'll get the full startup report.

What version of Perl are they running on Jesse?  And I would not assume it is the same slimserver, have you done a 100% file compare?  Debian packages are maintained separately from the git source.

And if Perl is passing it's internal tests, then it is probably not the base perl.  There are compiled perl modules as a part of slimserver.....more than likely that is teh problem. 

[jgrulich]

Jessie uses 5.20.2 and the files I'm using are 100% same, because I'm using the .deb source, not git one to the st on the piCore.
You may test it, I've provided the link in this thread some days ago.
There are CPAN modules in the slimserver directory and we need to use them, otherwise we need to install them again from the perl.

[jgrulich]

Question is about the configuration. Which one is correct?

Code: (bash) [Select]

./Configure -des -Dprefix=/mnt/mmcblk0p2/perl5.20.3 -A CFLAGS="-march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp" -A CXXFLAGS="-march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp"
or

Code: (bash) [Select]

./Configure -des -Dprefix=/mnt/mmcblk0p2/perl5.20.3 -Dcc="gcc -march=armv6 -mcpu=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp"
