Package dependency not building

petea · November 5, 2022 at 2:05 PM

Hi all,

I'm aiming to use LibreElec as the basis of a project on Allwinner H3 as it is the ideal basis, so have been compiling GIT latest from source using docker on Ubuntu 22.

I've run into a few issues, and was wondering where I am going wrong.

First: adding packages to ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES in options didn't seem to do anything:

ADDITIONAL_PACKAGES="gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-bad ffmpeg"

I worked around this by adding dependencies for those packages to an existing package.

Then I changed the build options for gst-plugins-bad, and then needed a library dependency ()

I added it as described in the package readme

Code

tools/pkginfo libgudev

PROJECT=Generic, DEVICE=Generic, ARCH=x86_64

PKG_NAME="libgudev"
PKG_VERSION="237"
PKG_SITE="https://download.gnome.org/sources/libgudev/"
PKG_URL="https://download.gnome.org/sources/libgudev/237/libgudev-237.tar.xz"
PKG_DIR="/home/pallen/Build/LibreELEC.tv/packages/multimedia/libgudev"
PKG_NEED_UNPACK=""
PKG_DEPENDS_UNPACK=""
PKG_DEPENDS_BOOTSTRAP=""
PKG_DEPENDS_INIT=""
PKG_DEPENDS_HOST=""
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET=""
PKG_IS_ADDON="no"
PKG_IS_KERNEL_PKG=""

then added

PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain gst-plugins-base libgudev"

to gst-plugins-bad package.mk

But it doesn't build or compile, and the build of gst-plugins-bad fails as its unable to find it.

Any hints?

Thank you

Following should work for you

Code

$ more packages/multimedia/gstreamer/libgudev/package.mk
PKG_NAME="libgudev"
PKG_VERSION="237"
PKG_SHA256="0d06b21170d20c93e4f0534dbb9b0a8b4f1119ffb00b4031aaeb5b9148b686aa"
PKG_SITE="https://download.gnome.org/sources/libgudev/"
PKG_URL="https://download.gnome.org/sources/libgudev/237/libgudev-237.tar.xz"
PKG_DEPENDS_TARGET="toolchain"

And update the package.mk

Boom, thank you!

All working now. It seems I had an issue in my package.mk for libgudev. I should probably now work out what it was, but that should be easy with a working example.

Thank you
