Entwicklung [ Development ] / patches for vdr-plugin-mcli

« on: July 28, 2019, 20:01:38 »

Hi Folks,

Here are a few patches for the reel netceiver vdr-plugin-mcli. This is that I needed to get the
netceiver working together with MLD on a raspberrypi. One does of course need the vlan
package installed and configured and a kernel with ipv6 active.

(working is relative, just noticed its not possible to change the channel...)

First lets patch the existing patch to fix the first compile error:

Code: [Select]

 +                                       cChannel *ch = Channels.GetByNumber (cDevice::CurrentChannel ());
 +                              #endif


Now add a new patch file that fixes the Lock() compile error:

Now add another patch file that removes the string concat warnings (this is of course sort of optional)

Yet another patch file to remove compiler warning - fixup mcli_cam_menu if/else

Lastly the final change that got it working... add the missing directory where the
mcli socket file lives (/var/tmp).
   

Code: [Select]


diff --git a/template/var/tmp/.gitignore b/template/var/tmp/.gitignore
new file mode 100644

If you copy the netcvdiag built in mcli/tools into the system it also
now works. I would have liked to add them to the package but don't
see how to do this.

Entwicklung [ Development ] / [unstable 5.4] building for rpi with qemu 2.8.1

« on: February 05, 2019, 21:50:52 »

Hi Folks,

I have been trying to build unstable 5.4 on a qemu
version 2.8.1(Debian 1:2.8+dfsg-6+deb9u5) running a
Raspbian 9 (stretch) with a fairly new kernel 4.14.50+
borrowed from here:

https://github.com/dhruvvyas90/qemu-rpi-kernel.git.

Several days later, I couldn't seem to get the ISO/Makefile to run at all. This was
because Makefile.arch was having problems identifying the hardware since it
appears the contents of /proc/cpuinfo has changed a little.

# grep Hardware /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/.*: //'
ARM-Versatile (Device Tree Support)

However Makefile.arch seems to expect 'ARM-Versatile PB'

Makefile.arch:
...
> hardware := $(shell grep Hardware /proc/cpuinfo | sed 's/.*: //')
> host := .....$(findstring ARM-Versatile PB,$(hardware)),rpi....

Changing this to

> host := .....$(findstring ARM-Versatile,$(hardware)),rpi....

Has started to work for me...
