Can't Compile LE 8.2

Chewy · June 11, 2018 at 12:42 AM

Hello everyone long time user of LE thanks to the departed Kszaq

I have been trying to compile LE 8.2 myself using Ubuntu 18.04 and not matter what i do i get the same error over and over
.
I have tried LE 8.2.1.3 from Kszaq's github and i have also tried from the 8.2.5 LE source for the RPI 2

Not sure what i am doing wrong but this is the error i get everytime

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Makefile:655: recipe for target 'make' failed

make[3]: * [make] Error 1

make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/****/LibreELEC.tv.8.2.5/build.LibreELEC-S805.arm-8.2.5/make-4.2.1/.x86_64-linux-gnu'

Makefile:798: recipe for target 'all-recursive' failed

make[2]: * [all-recursive] Error 1

make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/****/LibreELEC.tv.8.2.5/build.LibreELEC-S805.arm-8.2.5/make-4.2.1/.x86_64-linux-gnu'

make: * [image] Error 2

Any help with this would be amazing Thanks

trying to compile LE 8.2 myself using Ubuntu 18.04

this isn't working (without some ugly workarounds)

try Ubuntu 16.04 or use workaround from here [FIXED] Compilation under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

this isn't working (without some ugly workarounds)

try Ubuntu 16.04 or use workaround from here [FIXED] Compilation under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Thank you for the response.... I tried the workaround and it still seemed messy so i downgraded to 16.04

done some tweaks and thought i had it all sorted then got this issue

Any idea how i can solve this one ?

could you link the git tree you are using ?

Chewy · June 12, 2018 at 10:35 AM

These are the 2 i'm using
GitHub - kszaq/LibreELEC.tv at 8.2.3.1 = S805

And

GitHub - LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv: Just enough OS for KODI -b libreelec-8.2 LibreELEC.tv.8.2.5

What i am trying to do is update LibreElec 8.2.3.1 HD18Q S805 to 8.2.5, I have very little knowledge of this kind of stuff but i am very willing to learn as i know many people still use the Amlogic S805 devices, Even if it just pro-longs the life for a little while longer at least i will know i have done something to help the community.

If i'm able to get all the details and teaching or so forth i will continue and try to bring LE 9 to the S805 devices.... I have 2 of these boxes so testing isn't a problem.. I've tried google and searching for things as much as possible but there seems to be very limited information on how to do this.

Thank You for your help so far

**CvH** · June 12, 2018 at 11:39 AM Official Post

pls try to bump libcec to 8adc786 and remove the patches if there is any at that dir (not the cec-framework folder) and run again

Chewy · June 12, 2018 at 1:09 PM

Do you mean remove the patches in the Project/S805 Folder ?

Sorry have to look closer this evening, no idea what is at this gittree

Chewy · June 12, 2018 at 3:46 PM

Ok that's cool, I will have a mess around a little later anyway while waiting on your opinion/suggestion

**CvH** · June 12, 2018 at 10:17 PM Official Post

try to change that line LibreELEC.tv/package.mk at 8.2.3.1 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub to 5250931

and likely remove the patch packages/devel/libcec/patches/libcec-001-Prevent-AOCEC-adapter-from-stopping-without-warning.patch

Chewy · June 17, 2018 at 3:53 PM

Well i tried the change you suggested and it still got an error at the same place

Just tried again on 14.04 without changing anything from Kszaq's 8 2 3 1 build and yet again it failed......................

God knows why but i've spent so much time on this and not getting anywhere.

So i think i will stop here and just face that the AmLogic MXQ S805 has reached as far as it will go.

Shame really as it is a great little box with LibreELEC running on it

Thank you for all your help

**CvH** · June 17, 2018 at 5:10 PM Official Post

you can also disable for the meanwhile cec for LE

https://github.com/libreelec/libreelec.tv/blob/master/distributions/libreelec/options#l150

16.04 should work - this is likely no build os problem !

Chewy · June 18, 2018 at 12:32 AM

OK..... I tried again as i do not like being defeated and i ran into this error, I believe it was the same error as my last attempt

Any ideas what could be causing this........

A little digging shows this is to do with Time Zones............

Uh permission denied, did you used sudo at some point? This should be an OS problem that the user has no rights to write that file.

Chewy · June 18, 2018 at 10:32 AM

Only time i used sudo was for these commands

Code

Sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

sudo apt install gcc make git unzip wget xz-utils

sudo apt install gcc make git

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash

sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl

sudo perl -e shell -MCPAN

Some of them may not be needed for LE 8.2 but the end goal will be 8.2.5 and then continue to 9.0

They are the only commands i use sudo for and from my understanding you have to use sudo for these commands

Try cleaning tz package and build it again

Code

PROJECT=S805 arch=arm ./scripts/clean tz
PROJECT=S805 arch=arm ./scripts/build tz

I think I had the same error few times in the past.

Btw: Release 8.2.3.1 · kszaq/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub builds without a problem on my Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.

It might be nothing but a little above there’s

‘fatal: no names found‘

which has todo with git describe and the git repository

Try doing a ‘git fetch --all‘ to get a copy of the remote tags and make sure you’re not deleting the .git folder as it won’t build without it as that’s where it auto picks up the commit hash
