Jodel
You must install it from source.
-
Thanks. Has anyone tried to do this and how did it go?
-
Heyo all,
Does anyone know if this did eventually work? OMX form source that is?
I'm looking for a way of playing "video" and displaying images with PiCore but from command line and also ideally keeping CPU down and / or taking advantage of the GPU.
BIG Thanks

omxplayer from Raspbian works fine in piCore 5.3.1, it can play fullscreen vide with audio in sync. Havn't checked all features but in general it is ok. If you are interested I can make a short guide how to install it.

Hi Béla
I would be very interested in the guide for how to install.
Thanks,
Glenn.

I apologize to revive an old thread but I just would like to know whether there exist any guide on how to compile omxplayer from source. I cloned the source from https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer and tried the build script but it require some packages and dependencies that I do not know how do install since the build script was meant for Debian.
Do you have any guide that I can refer to or any article out there that I can learn from in building from source? Thank you for your time!

Hi paperone
Based on this:
REQUIRED_PKGS="ca-certificates git-core subversion binutils libva1 libpcre3-dev libidn11-dev libboost1.50-dev libfreetype6-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libdbus-1-dev libssl-dev libssh-dev libsmbclient-dev gcc-4.7 g++-4.7 sed pkg-config"
Found here:
https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer/blob/master/prepare-native-raspbian.sh
My best guess based on what I see in the current repository is that you need to install:
compile-essentials.tcz
pcre-dev.tcz
libidn-dev.tcz
boost-dev.tcz
freetype-dev.tcz
libusb-dev.tcz
dbus-dev.tcz
openssl-1.0.1-dev.tcz
libssh2-dev.tcz
samba4-dev.tcz
pkg-config.tczI don't know if all the version numbers are suitable for this.
One of the required packages listed is libva1 , which I don't see listed, so you'll probably have to track it down and
compile that first.
This should help for build instructions:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions
-
Thank you for the reply, Rich! I am going to follow along the info you've just posted and try the build instructions. :)
-
Hi paperone
I think this might be the missing libva1 dependency:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/vaapi/#git

Thanks Rich!
Ok, I just went through your info and the wiki on creating extension and also the CoreBook. I understand only certain part and I am still trying to digest and wrap my head around how to compile omxplayer.
I don't know what steps and requirements it entails yet to be able to compile omxplayer so I hope you can bear with me on my question. Here are the questions:
- Reading through your link on http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:creating_extensions — to compile omxplayer, does it mean I need to find and download those dependencies or extensions in TC parlance as listed in the omxplayer project build script and then embeded it along in the omxplayer extension that still need to be build?
- I was on piCore 6.0 X on Raspi Model B but I couldn't find the compiletc.tcz extension using the App Browser. Then I tried using TinyCore 6.4.1 under VirtualBox, I was able to find and load compiletc.tcz extension. Does it mean I can only create the extension on TinyCore then pack them up, copy and install the generated omxplayer extension on piCore?
-
Hi paperone
I was on piCore 6.0 X on Raspi Model B but I couldn't find the compiletc.tcz extension using the App Browser.
It's called compile-essentials when you are running on PI.
You need to install the following using the Apps utility:
compile-essentials.tcz
pcre-dev.tcz
libidn-dev.tcz
boost-dev.tcz
freetype-dev.tcz
libusb-dev.tcz
dbus-dev.tcz
openssl-1.0.1-dev.tcz
libssh2-dev.tcz
samba4-dev.tcz
pkg-config.tcz That should provide most of the tools and dependencies you need to build omxplayer.
Here's a link for the latest libva tarball.
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/x7driver.html#libva
You'll need to compile that before you can build omxplayer.
-
Oops. Sorry for my ignorance, while waiting for your reply, I did some reading and test. I need to clarify one thing.
I was reading through https://github.com/puppetlabs/Razor-Microkernel/wiki/Building-your-own-TCL-Extension and tried to follow along but didn't quite manage to get the extension compilation done. Okay, don't rain down at me, lol. The article was created in 2012 so I think it was probably outdated in some way such as a few extensions are no longer available when I tried to install them. Knowing the fact that some stuff is missing, I exported the flags such as described in the wiki, it gave me: "checking whether the C compiler works... no".
Ok, coming back to the idea of an extension — in reading between the few articles, it started to make sense to me. Correct me if I am wong, when building an extension, we're essentially doing a few steps?
- Install the build tools such as compiletc.tcz, squashfs-tools.tcz, etc.
- Find and install all dependencies, these dependencies must be already "converted" to TinyCore extensions. For example, the omxplayer requires the the dependencies as you listed above — some are in tcz format and some others aren't.
- For those that aren't, we need to "convert" them in tcz.
- Finally, find the source file of the new extension eg: omxplayer. Do "configure" with some parameters and build it using "make".
- Move the build package or executable into their own folder and pack it using "mksquashfs".
Is the steps correct?
-
Hi paperone
I was reading through newbielink:https://github.com/puppetlabs/Razor-Microkernel/wiki/Building-your-own-TCL-Extension [nonactive] and tried to follow along but didn't quite manage to get the extension compilation done.
Those instructions are for X86, you are building for ARM, so there will be differences.
Under ARM, there is no compiletc. You use compile-essentials instead.
The exported flags are different. I think most of them default to the correct values. Maybe bmarkus can comment on that.
I also recommend you don't use the tce-load commands. Use the GUI Apps utility and let it install the required tools
and extensions Onboot.
- Install the build tools such as compiletc.tcz, squashfs-tools.tcz, etc.
- Find and install all dependencies, these dependencies must be already "converted" to TinyCore extensions. For example, the omxplayer requires the the dependencies as you listed above — some are in tcz format and some others aren't.
- For those that aren't, we need to "convert" them in tcz.
- Finally, find the source file of the new extension eg: omxplayer. Do "configure" with some parameters and build it using "make".
Yes, yes, yes, and yes.
- Move the build package or executable into their own folder and pack it using "mksquashfs".
Do:
./configure --helpthis will list available build options. Check for a dest-dir option. This will let you select a unique directory to install to
which will make squashing into a tcz a lot easier.
-
You can use default GCC settings. If you want to be sure using correct flags, use
-march=armv6zk -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp
to make sure code will run on all Raspberry Pi boards. There are other options which depends on the application you are building and influence spped, size and other features.
-
Thanks Rich, bmarkus!
I am trying to compile the last dependency now — that is libav. As suggested by Rich, I downloaded the compressed file from http://www.freedesktop.org/software/vaapi/releases/libva/libva-1.6.1.tar.bz2
But when I run "./configure $XORG_CONFIG &&" — I can't get past this step as it threw me:
checking now to run the C preprocessor... /lib/cpp
configure: error: in '/hone/tc/libva-1.6.1':
configure: error: C preprocessor "lib/cpp" fails sanity check
I searched other forum and people suggested it has something to do with c or c++ compiler but it seemed that I can run both gcc or g++ just fine from the terminal. Any idea? Here's the config.log from the configure step : https://gist.github.com/anonymous/48dcd949df7aa061adab

Install Linux api headers from repo
-
Hi bmarkus,
That was the indeed the missing extension, thank you! I am slow but I managed to compile libav now.
Next, I downloaded omxplayer master branch and I was trying to compile it, along the way I found that the "make" requires 2 more extensions - git.tcz and coreutils.tcz which are there in the App Browser. From the compiling section on https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer#compiling, the instruction is to run the ./prepare-native-raspbian.sh script first which I skipped since I have already installed the dependencies separately using App Browser.
Next, it said build with "make ffmpeg" and this is where I am currently stuck. I waited for a while for the "make" to clone the repo and do its own thing but then it stopped and spewed out some errors. It said compiler test failed along the bottom of the output but I couldn't understand what that means and where to fix.
arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc is unable to create an executable file.
C compiler test failed.Full terminal output is at https://gist.github.com/anonymous/687c2e9a23e86359d5e4
Any idea?
-
Check config.log for details on error and adjust make file according to your setup.
-
Ok, I spot 2 warnings in config.log:
WARNING: arm-linux-gnueabihf-pkg-config not found, library detection may fail.
mktemp -u XXXXXX
RCXMQY
WARNING: Unknown C compiler arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc, unable to select optimal CFLAGS
check_ld cc
check_cc
First I tried to disable some flags as suggested by Irenaud @ https://github.com/huceke/omxplayer/issues/20#issuecomment-7143502
I'm trying to run a build on a native system, and the solution thus far has been to remove all references (in Makefile.ffmpeg and Makefile.include) to the flag -mfpu=vfp and change -mfloat-abi=softfp to -mfloat-abi=hard. Native raspberry pi builds take quite a while so I haven't finished the build for a full test, but thus far that appears to fix this build error.
No luck. Removed the old build. Then I tried again to install a few things as suggested from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14180185/gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi-command-not-found but it still throw me the same error. I am clueless as to what flags in the make file to adjust. :-\
-
Ok, looks like I am asking a lot of questions and sorry to draw a bit of you time into this. ;D Apparently, I need to delve into configure, make and make install stuff a bit more.
I am currently building ffmpeg using the configure script and make file included in the ffmpeg directory, a subdirectory in omxplayer. Will post back once I manage to get everything running and then probably create a complete guide of the steps that I went through.
Thanks bmarkus and Rich for your help so far! :)
-
Ok, I am listing out the steps I have taken so far:
- Install the following extensions/dependencies from repo using App Browser:
- compile-essentials.tcz (the variant of compiletc.tcz in piCore)
- pcre-dev.tcz
- libidn-dev.tcz
- boost-dev.tcz
- freetype-dev.tcz
- libusb-dev.tcz
- dbus-dev.tcz
- openssl-1.0.1-dev.tcz
- libssh2-dev.tcz
- samba4-dev.tcz
- pkg-config.tcz
- linux-3.12.y_api_headers.tcz (this is needed to compile libva)
- ffmpeg-dev.tcz and ffmpeg.tcz (there's a Makefile.ffmpeg inside omxplayer source but since the piCore repo already has ffmpeg.tcz we can just use it)
- git.tcz (utility to clone omxplayer from github - https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer)
- coreutils.tcz (maybe we don't need this?)
- libva requires pthread-stubs and libdrm so before we build that we have to install them first else it will throw out missing package error during the libva make process.
- Download and build pthread-stubs from http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/libpthread-stubs-0.1.tar.bz2
> wget http://xcb.freedesktop.org/dist/libpthread-stubs-0.1.tar.bz2
> tar -xjvf libpthread-stubs-0.1.tar.bz2
> cd libpthread-stubs-0.1
> ./configure --prefix=/usr && make
> sudo make install
- Ref: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.3/general/libpthread-stubs.html
- Download and build libdrm from http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/libdrm-2.4.65.tar.gz (else mid way into libva configure, it will fail with error: no package 'libdrm' found)
> wget http://dri.freedesktop.org/libdrm/libdrm-2.4.65.tar.gz
> tar -xzvf libdrm-2.4.65.tar.gz
> cd libdrm-2.4.65
> ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-udev && make
> sudo make install
- Ref: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/libdrm.html
- Now, download and build libva from http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/x/x7driver.html#libva
> wget http://www.freedesktop.org/software/vaapi/releases/libva/libva-1.6.1.tar.bz2
> tar jxf libva-1.6.1.tar.bz2
> cd libva-1.6.1
> ./configure $XORG_CONFIG && make
> sudo make install [we're at this now...]
- Download and build omxplayer from https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer
> git clone https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer
> cd omxplayer
- There's not configure script from the source so skipping it (am I doing the right thing?)
> make
- Got "/bin/sh: bash: not found" — fixed that by replacing bash to sh on Makefile line 51 and save the file
> make (run again)
- Got another error, something like "/home/dc4/tools/arm-bcm2708/arm-bcm2708hardfp-linux-gnueabi" (didn't manage to copy the screenshot as the I accidentally rebooted the system and all the build is gone). I guess I need to try from building libdrm, libpthread and libva again before I can run omxplayer make.
What a long journey hehe, and I hope to be able to tackle the omxplayer build process, natively or otherwise cross-compile I am new to this by the way, will go through another heaps of learning process again but it's fun! I am posting the previous steps in the hope of easing other people from falling in my steps, of course if you're newbie like me — you're probably doing the same mistake as mine.
For the piCore experts out there, please pick my mistakes and kindly give advice for improvement, thank you very much and have a great weekend!

Hi paperone
I'm no PiCore expert, but this might help ....
Take another look in the repository, libpthread-stubs.tcz is in there.
./configure --prefix=/usr
That should probably be:
./configure --prefix=/usr/localsudo make install
Rather than installing in the running system, you would be better off creating an extension
mkdir /tmp/package
sudo make install DESTDIR=/tmp/package
mksquashfs /tmp/package ExtensionName.tcz
rm -r /tmp/packageCopy the extension to your tce directory and add it to your onboot.lst file. You can load it without rebooting using
Apps load local.
Got "/bin/sh: bash: not found"
Install bash.tcz just in case it really needs some features of bash.
-
Hi paperone
Xorg-7.7-lib.tcz has libdrm so install Xorg-7.7-dev.tcz.
-
Hi Rich, thanks for the tips on creating extension the proper way and also pointing out that Xorg-7.7-dev.tcz contains libdrm. I will keep that in mind.
Now, I am trying to tailor the Makefile.include from omxplayer to my environment so that I can compile it natively on RPi Model B. I have time so I am not bothered with the fact that natively compiling thing on RPi is slow.
Looking at the Makefile.include, the TOOLCHAIN and HOST flags was pointing to a non-existent directory:
#Makefile.include
TOOLCHAIN :=/home/dc4/tools/arm-bcm2708/gcc-linaro-arm-linux-gnueabihf-raspbian/
HOST :=arm-linux-gnueabihf
Down below the Makefile.include, I found that it uses g++ so I did a
which g++the system gave me /usr/local/bin/g++ so I changed those flags to:
#Makefile.include
TOOLCHAIN :=/usr/local/
HOST :=
CXX := $(TOOLCHAIN)/bin/$(HOST)g++ --sysroot=$(SYSROOT)
CFLAGS := -Os -pipe
CXXFLAGS := -Os -pipe
LDFLAGS := -Wl,-O1
Now I am able to direct the Makefile to run g++ but when I run make, I got:
bash gen_version.sh > version.h
/usr/local//bin/g++ --sysroot=/opt/bcm-rootfs -Os -pipe -Os -pipe -std=c++0x -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -DTARGET_POSIX -DTARGET_LINUX -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_CMAKE_CONFIG -D__VIDEOCORE4__ -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -Wall -DHAVE_OMXLIB -DUSE_EXTERNAL_FFMPEG -DHAVE_LIBAVCODEC_AVCODEC_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_OPT_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_MEM_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_AVUTIL_H -DHAVE_LIBAVFORMAT_AVFORMAT_H -DHAVE_LIBAVFILTER_AVFILTER_H -DHAVE_LIBSWRESAMPLE_SWRESAMPLE_H -DOMX -DOMX_SKIP64BIT -ftree-vectorize -DUSE_EXTERNAL_OMX -DTARGET_RASPBERRY_PI -DUSE_EXTERNAL_LIBBCM_HOST -isystem/opt/bcm-rootfs/opt/vc/include -isystem/opt/bcm-rootfs/usr/include -isystem/opt/bcm-rootfs/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -Ipcre/build -Iboost-trunk -Ifreetype2/include -I./ -Ilinux -Iffmpeg_compiled/usr/local/include/ -I /usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dbus-1.0/include -c linux/XMemUtils.cpp -o linux/XMemUtils.o -Wno-deprecated-declarations
linux/XMemUtils.cpp:1:20:fatal error: stdlib.h: No such file or directory
#include <stdlib.h>
compilation terminated.
Makefile:45: recipe for target 'linux/XMemUtils.o' failed
Compile-essentials.tcz is installed right from the start, shouldn't stdlib.h file be included by default? Do you know what causes this error — by chance is there any flags that I still need to change or do I need to install other dev extension?
Also, tried install glibc_base-dev.tcz and added /usr/include to the INCLUDES flag but still it seemed make doesn't pick up the stdlib.h library. :-\
-
Remove the --sysroot option. That's also for cross-compiling.
-
Thanks curaga, that helped fixed the missing stdlib.h file - although I am new to the whole configure and make thing, I feel a bit embarrassed now, lol.
Now the make threw me different errors and to my inexperienced eye, I could not determine whether the error is caused by missing library or because the incorrect flags or path in the Makefile. Or do I need to download anything from http://releases.linaro.org/14.04/components/toolchain/binaries/? Sorry about the barrage of questions!
Here's the Makefile.include, Makefile and error in full, can you take a quick glance and spot anything wrong with them?

Hi paperone
The original Makefile had:
CFLAGS+=-std=c++0x -D__STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS -D__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS -DTARGET_POSIX -DTARGET_LINUX -fPIC -DPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_CMAKE_CONFIG -D__VIDEOCORE4__ -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -Wall -DHAVE_OMXLIB -DUSE_EXTERNAL_FFMPEG -DHAVE_LIBAVCODEC_AVCODEC_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_OPT_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_MEM_H -DHAVE_LIBAVUTIL_AVUTIL_H -DHAVE_LIBAVFORMAT_AVFORMAT_H -DHAVE_LIBAVFILTER_AVFILTER_H -DHAVE_LIBSWRESAMPLE_SWRESAMPLE_H -DOMX -DOMX_SKIP64BIT -ftree-vectorize -DUSE_EXTERNAL_OMX -DTARGET_RASPBERRY_PI -DUSE_EXTERNAL_LIBBCM_HOSTwhich you removed. I suggest putting that back in.
/usr/local//bin/g++ -Os -pipe -Os -pipe -Os -pipe /usr/include -I./ -Ilinux -Iffmpeg_compiled/usr/local/include/ -I /usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/dbus-1.0/include /usr/include -c utils/log.cpp -o utils/log.o -Wno-deprecated-declarations
-Os -pipe shows up multiple times. Remove -Os -pipe from the CFLAGS+= statements.
/usr/include shows up twice and is incorrect. It should be -I/usr/include and only defined once. Also, there should
not be a space between -I and what's being included.

Thank you again, Rich for pointing out my mistake!
Looks like I need to take a step back and hold off for a bit to learn or at least forge some understanding around make and makefile. There are huge amount of flag, parameter, syntax and construct inside omxplayer's Makefile and Makefile.include, and obviously they all looked greek to me at the moment.
Also, the fact that the included Makefile was intended for other platform (with cross-compiling options in it) is making thing a bit more difficult. I am not complaining though and I really appreciate the help so far. It's a bit pity that due to my limited understanding of general things, I am not able to use the tip and suggestion given to me to formulate the correct Makefile yet.
I hope you guys aren't bored with my newbie questions!

Hello!
Now I have a bit more general understanding on the GNU make and I am able to change a bit the flag and path here and there inside a makefile. But I still have problem building omxplayer, allow me to explain. Here are steps that I did from loading up the dependencies to actually run the make command.
- Load all dependencies
> tce-load -wi compile-essentials.tcz pcre-dev.tcz libidn-dev.tcz boost-dev.tcz freetype-dev.tcz libusb-dev.tcz dbus-dev.tcz openssl-1.0.1-dev.tcz libssh2-dev.tcz samba4-dev.tcz pkg-config.tcz linux-3.12.y_api_headers.tcz ffmpeg-dev.tcz git.tcz bash.tcz
- Download and extract /opt/vc directory in raspberry firmware (https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware) to /opt directory, is it correct to use the raspberry firmware from that repo as I couldn't find any in the piCore 6.0 release?
> cp -r /mnt/sda1/picore/opt/* /opt
> git clone https://github.com/popcornmix/omxplayer
> cd omxplayer
- Remove all Makefile
> rm Makefile
> rm Makefile.include
> rm Makefile.ffmpeg
- I created a new Makefile based on omxplayer default Makefile.include and Makefile to tailor to my environment — basically set the toolchain and include to their correct location. Also removed the sysroot options as suggested by curaga as that flag is meant for cross-complilation.

When I run the last step — sudo make — the system was able to compile successfully and I didn't see any warning of missing header files etc. At the end of the make, I saw that the system copies the binary to /usr/bin, copies libraries to /usr/lib/omxplayer, all in all no complain.
Now the problem is when I run:
- ./omxplayer : the terminal complained that "pgrep: invalid option -- 'F'", I can see that in the omxplayer script, it is calling the pgrep function. This can probably be fixed with replacing the F with a correct flag.
- omxplayer.bin : the terminal complained that "omxplayer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libWFC.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". If I list all files in /usr/lib/omxplayer, I can see libWFC.so and other various *.so files.
What did I do wrong, any idea?

Hi paperone
- ./omxplayer : the terminal complained that "pgrep: invalid option -- 'F'", I can see that in the omxplayer script, it is calling the pgrep function. This can probably be fixed with replacing the F with a correct flag.
Just a guess on my part, but maybe try P since it seem to be looking at a process ID.
- omxplayer.bin : the terminal complained that "omxplayer.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libWFC.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". If I list all files in /usr/lib/omxplayer, I can see libWFC.so and other various *.so files.
Try running depmod first and see if that fixes it.
-
depmod has nothing to do with *.so shared libraries, it is for kernel modules.
If you see missing *.so reason usually it is not installed, not in ldconfig path or ldconfig is not executed.
Check you have installed VideoCore libraries, location and run ldconfig. If necessary, copy/symlink them to a proper dir or adjust ldconfig path.

Thanks Rich but unfortunately it didn't work, I've played around with f, F, p and P but it kept throwing me invalid option.

Markus, thanks! I can get past the mising libWFC.so by adding /opt/vc/lib to /etc/ld.so.conf and rebuild the cache. Now I can't seem to find libpcre.so.3, the pcre.tcz extension in the repo only contains: libpcre.so, libcpre.so.1, libcpre.so.1.2.4 and a variety of others, just not libcpre.so.3. ;D
-
libpcre3 is a Debian package. If you build omxplayer on piCore with its pcre you can't see such messages which indicates you are running a binary built on Raspbian.

Ok. Now, I am wondering where does the libpcre3 came from? Let me take a step back and list them out:
- All the required dev dependencies/extensions were tc-loaded from official repository, including the pcre library from pcre-dev.tcz.
- I use the raspberry firmware from https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware. I am not sure if this is related in any way to the missing libpcre.so.3 but is this firmware compatible with piCore? As I don't see any firmware/video core library in the http://tinycorelinux.net/6.x/armv6/release/6.0/
Else, I would need to redo everything again if I can spot any missed error. Btw, thank you for your time markus!
