compile zoneminder openembedded based accomplished

[WayneM]

Hi guys.

I was using yocto poky to cross-compile a rootfs including ZoneMinder, and I got some errors.

I hope someone can together with me workout this if you are interested too. thanks in advance.

My board has a SoC with ARM Cortex-A8.

I cloned the following extra meta(I replaced the "." using "#" for the spamy warning here):

Code: Select all

 git://git#openembedded#org/meta-openembedded

and move all its folders to upfolder, that is, under poky folder.


I defined a new machine at

Code: Select all

poky/meta-myplatform/conf/machine/myboard.conf

its content (refering RaspberryPi)：

Code: Select all

require conf/machine/include/tune-cortexa8.inc
IMAGE_FSTYPES ?= "tar.bz2 ext3"
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "Image"
MACHINE_EXTRA_RRECOMMENDS += " /
	kernel-modules /
"

and its layer file:

Code: Select all

poky/meta-myplatform/conf/layer.conf

its content:

Code: Select all

# We have a conf and classes directory, append to BBPATH
BBPATH .= ":${LAYERDIR}"

# We have a recipes directory containing .bb and .bbappend files, add to BBFILES
BBFILES += "${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bb /
            ${LAYERDIR}/recipes*/*/*.bbappend"

BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "myplatform"
BBFILE_PATTERN_myplatform := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_myplatform = "6"

# Additional license directories.
LICENSE_PATH += "${LAYERDIR}/files/custom-licenses"

I wrote the bb file for ZoneMinder at:

Code: Select all

poky/meta-myplatform/recipes-apps/ZoneMinder/ZoneMinder_1.30.0.bb

Actually I used the latest version of ZoneMinder from GitHub, not the real version 1.30.0. I download the tag.gz package manually and renamed it under the folder "poky/build/downloads".

the content of the bb file:

Code: Select all

# replace the "." using "#" here for the spamy warning
HOMEPAGE = "http#//www#zoneminder#com/"
LICENSE = "GPLv2"

DESCRIPTION = "the top Linux video camera security and surveillance solution."

LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=94d55d512a9ba36caa9b7df079bae19f "
# replace the "." using "#" here for the spamy warning
SRC_URI = "http#//www2#zoneminder#com/downloads/ZoneMinder-${PV}.tar.gz"
SRC_URI[md5sum] = "f08beae90e7336ac704021a3716daa4c"

inherit autotools pkgconfig 

DEPENDS += "apache2 modphp libgcrypt libav openssl perl libdbi-perl jpeg"
RDEPENDS_${PN} += "apache2 modphp libgcrypt libav openssl perl libdbi-perl jpeg"

#I use the absolute path here for --with-mysql and --with-ffmpeg
EXTRA_OECONF = "--with-libarch=lib --with-mysql=/home/xyz/work/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/myboard/usr/ --with-ffmpeg=/home/xyz/work/poky/build/tmp/sysroots/myboard/usr/ --with-webdir=/var/www/html --with-cgidir=/var/www/cgi-bin --with-webuser=www-data --with-webgroup=www-data --enable-debug=yes ZM_SSL_LIB=openssl"

I wrote the image bb file at:

Code: Select all

poky/meta-myplatform/recipes-core/images/myboard-test-image.bb

its content:

Code: Select all

include recipes-core/images/core-image-minimal.bb
DEPENDS += "ZoneMinder"

I modified the default bblayers.conf file:

Code: Select all

poky/build/conf/bblayers.conf

add the following lines:

Code: Select all

BBLAYERS += "/home/xyz/work/poky/meta-myplatform"
BBLAYERS += "/home/xyz/work/poky/meta-oe"
BBLAYERS += "/home/xyz/work/poky/meta-perl"
BBLAYERS += "/home/xyz/work/poky/meta-webserver"
BBLAYERS += "/home/xyz/work/poky/meta-multimedia"

I modified the default local.conf under "build" folder after executing "source oe-init-build-env":

Code: Select all

poky/build/conf/local.conf

I modified the following lines as:

Code: Select all

MACHINE ??= "myboard"
PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_ipk"

and add this line:

Code: Select all

LICENSE_FLAGS_WHITELIST = "commercial"

and then I began to build:

Code: Select all

bitbake myboard-test-image

the errors I got (the 1-4 was fixed or found a workaround) :

1.
the compiled native perl was not correctly found by the ZoneMinder building proccess but found the perl in host Ubuntu, so I had to install the perl modules manually using CPAN as workaround, including DBI, DBD::mysql, Date::Manip, LWP::UserAgent, Sys::Mmap.

2.

Code: Select all

ERROR: This autoconf log indicates errors, it looked at host include and/or library paths while determining system capabilities.

then I used absolute path here for --with-mysql and --with-ffmpeg, as EXTRA_OECONF defined in the bb file.

3. compiling errors in zm_image.cpp
I commented the SSE instructions for x86 CPU using conditional compilation temporarily.

Code: Select all

#if ((defined(__i386__) || defined(__x86_64__) || defined(ZM_KEEP_SSE)) && !defined(ZM_STRIP_SSE))  
.....
#endif

4. compiling error in zm_signal.cpp
add these lines after line 67:

Code: Select all

#elif defined(__arm__)
		cr2 = info->si_addr;
		ip = (void *)(uc->uc_mcontext.arm_ip);

5.
this is the last error during the task do_package near the end of the whole building proccess:

Code: Select all

[WayneM]

the 5th error was fixed by adding some lines into zoneminder.bb.

Code: Select all

FILES_${PN} += "\
	${libdir}/perl \
	${datadir}/perl \	
	/tmp \
	/run \"

FILES_${PN}-doc += "\
	/usr/man \"

FILES_${PN}-dbg += "\
	/var/www/cgi-bin/.debug/zms \	
	/var/www/cgi-bin/.debug/nph-zms \"

[WayneM]

the 2nd error was fixed by using the system variable STAGING_DIR_HOST, ie:

Code: Select all

--with-mysql=${STAGING_DIR_HOST}/usr/ --with-ffmpeg=${STAGING_DIR_HOST}/usr/ 

[PacoLM]

Impressive work!
