installing on ARM9

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 11:50 am

Hello all

I've been trying to install from source on an ARM9 machine.
As far as I can tell, nobody before tried it.

Anyway, I have an Elro c800ip network camera, and it's compatible with D-Link 900 camera, so I guess it should work with ZoneMinder.

I chose to install ZoneMinder on my cracked Western Digital MyBook World Edition, which is a network storage device that runs on Linux and has a gumstix1151 motherboard with ARM9 CPU at 400MHz.

Anyway, after days of installing prerequisites for ZM on the machine (it takes 18 hours to compile mysql

), I've finally succeeded to run ./configure without errors, but then, when I ran "make", here is what I got:

Code: Select all

I'm really at the end of my nerves, can please someone help me?
Because it took me 3 days just to get the ./configure to run.

I think you need to install libjpeg and libjpeg-devel.

P.S. If you get this working, you should make an RPM of it, which would save other people hours of work. They might even donate $ to you in gratitude

You could also look into cross-compiling, which basically means, compiling ARM binaries on a regular fast machine, its not the easiest thing to do though.

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:05 pm

I did compile libjpeg from source on the ARM9, since there was no libjpeg-devel available for the distro, and ZM requires libjpeg.a.

I will sure make a RPM or whatever, because the work is tedious believe me.

I did consider cross-compiling, but I think that acquiring and compiling an ARM9 (armv5tejl) toolchain would be even more tedious.

I was looking for VMWare virtual appliance, to try to compile on it, but no luck.

Any other ideas?

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:11 pm

could it be that the makefile is looking for my libjpeg headers in /opt/lib/include which doesn't exist, while they actually are located at /opt/include ???

How do I tell ./configure to look into /opt/include?

I ran ./configure with options:

--with-libarch=/opt/lib --with-mysql=/usr/lib --with-ffmpeg=/opt/lib

should I change that? and what should I change it to?

thanks,
Milosh

Stanke,

I had Debian Etch running on my Dlink DNS 323. I'll fire it back up and see what I can do with Zoneminder. The DNS I seem to recall was also based on ARM, could be wrong but I'll give it a shot.

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 12:59 pm

thanks newvisionantenna

I tried fooling it by copying the /opt/include to /opt/lib/include

now I get this:

oh, I forgot to mention full distro name:

ok, I fooled the compiler by copying the execinfo.h into the include path

so the above problem is solved.

Now a new problem appears

Hmm I think the purpose of --with-libarch is to specify 32bit or 64bit libdir, maybe what you need is --with-extralibs=/opt/lib

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:36 pm

solved last problem

had to add

Code: Select all

#include <sys>
#include <sys>

into zm_comms.h

yeah, Blazer, that's it... but doesn't reflect on the problems I had later

thanks anyway

edit: hmm the phpBB has been truncating uio.h and socket.h from the above include statements

stanke · Post by **stanke** » Mon Mar 16, 2009 7:39 pm

I will keep posting resolutions to problems if someone else needs to compile for ARM9

in zm_signal.cpp, line 90

Code: Select all

Error ("Signal blah blah %p, blah" , context.cr2);

should be replaced by:

Code: Select all

Error ("Signal blah blah %p, blah" , context.fault_address);

since that is the machine specific register for ARM9 as opposed to i386 arch.

seems from some reason linker doesn't link the functions 'round' and 'backtrace'...

from what I read on other forums, 'round' has appeared only in C99 standard.

I'll post resolution of problem if and when I find it...

meanwhile if anybody wants to spare me the searching, be my guest

Does adding -lm (which sould add libm which is math lib that has the round() function) to the flags help at all?

Hmm I also read that:

Code: Select all

2. undefined reference to 'round'  - arm libraries don't have round function implemented. The simplest solution is to add such a function to a device server class, i.e:

double round (double x) {
         int x_int = (int)(x+0.5);
         return(x_int);
}

Hah so they are basically saying to add your own round function :-\

BTW, this might be worth playing with:

http://netwinder.osuosl.org/users/j/jse ... RPMS/i386/

Would probably make your life easier if you could just run arm-linux-gcc on a fast box and then scp -r the dir to your arm machine and then "make install"

I found that too, however, the smart makers of zoneminder have thought about it, as it seems from the following code snippet taken from zm.h:

Code: Select all

extern "C"
{
#if !HAVE_DECL_ROUND
double round(double);
#endif
}

but for some reason it doesn't do...

if all fails, I will have to try crosscompiling

I even tried adding -lm

no go

thanks Blazer,
Milosh
