Hi again,

I'm having a new problem related to the addition of Speech Dispatcher.

When building it, it checks for additional Voice TTSs and if it finds them, it adds the respective modules.

I'm trying to generate the eSpeak Module, but it needs the espeak library for the process, so I added espeak:host as a dependency.

The eSpeak package wasn't able to generate host builds, so I edited it and could add the eSpeak libraries and include headers to the toolchain. However, when trying to build Speech Dispatcher with espeak support it says that file <espeak/speak_lib.h> does not exist, but the file speak_lib.h is inside $TOOLCHAIN/include/espeak.

It seems that the build process is ignoring the toolchain paths, even if toolchain is in the package.mk as a target dependency.

My current package.mk:

--------------------

PKG_NAME="speech-dispatcher"
PKG_VERSION="0.10.2"

Can you share espeak/package.mk

Target depends on target generally.

…

Hypothetically…

Bob is a program that builds a file called bill.txt.

We want to use bill.txt as part of our build process for james.

E.g. cc -o james bill.txt James.c

Then bob:host makes sense… as “bob.exe” needs to run on you build host as a program to create bill.txt.

One of our examples would be cmake:host

cmake:target does not make sense - as when you are running LE10 on your RPi4 - you don’t want to run cmake. You only want to run cmake on the build host.

So if “espeak:host” is a program that generates abc.tts, bcd.tts - then espeak:host makes sense - on the build host.

If espeak:host builds a library called espeak.lib that is being used by speech-distpacher… e.g. cc -o speech-dispatcher speech-dispatcher.c -lespeak - this is INCORRECT using espeak:host … It should be espeak:target (which is the same as espeak.)

Ping me back on how you go.

Glad you got it all going 👍

You will want to remove the manual TOOLCHAIN and the pre_make

Try with:

PKG_TOOLCHAIN="autotools"

The build system does most of the hard work (most of the time)

Suggest you start with the below.

git diff HEAD
diff --git a/packages/audio/speech-dispatcher/package.mk b/packages/audio/speech-dispatcher/package.mk

which will error with the following. Only add dependancies to packages that you error on or you want the package compiled against. E.g. if you don’t want to use the h264 codec in a video app, then don’t include it … etc.

checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for glib-2.0 >= 2.36... yes
checking for gthread-2.0... yes
checking for gmodule-2.0... yes
checking for dotconf >= 1.3... no
configure: error: Package requirements (dotconf >= 1.3) were not met:

No package 'dotconf' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DOTCONF_CFLAGS
and DOTCONF_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
FAILURE: scripts/build speech-dispatcher during configure_target (default)

**************************************

As you are not developing a package that you need during the build process, all of your packages should be targets. And that is the default. So no need to use :host or :target for your development.

If for example you needed to use the “mkimg” program to build a package “mkimg” because onnof the steps in building “mkimg” properly is to creat some images, and that uses the newly compiled “mkimg” program. You will need to compile both a host and target “mkimg”. Host to create you images, and target to run on your RPi.

If you don’t need the mkimg program on your RPi, then you would only build mkimg:host.

Hope that helps.

Examples are cmake is a host only build.

Hi nuive - probably not the best example to start with. glib is a package that builds for both the host that does the build and the target (your RPi3)

In the case of your xxxx:host question - python:host is built “for the host” to be able to build glib.

In your glib example - lib would be a dependency (on the RPi3 for your app)

What application are you trying to package, might be able to give you some pointers on a package.mk to start with.

Please test current media-driver: Rocket Lake (RKL) discussion

The problem starts with 11th gen i5/i7/i9 CPUs:

Rocket Lake (RKL) discussion

looks similar to the issues when I first stood up the TGL … Looks like Xe12 needs a little more work.

I don’t have experience with Rocket Lake, but with Tiger Lake, the Kernel really needs to be a 5.12 kernel to fix a number of i915 issues. I use the Tiger Lake as one of my Daily Drivers.

This was fixed in Update addon.xml · zach-morris/[email protected] · GitHub

Not sure why the failed dependency issue is occurring for you. You should install vfs.libarchive from add addons.

I believe this is a Amlogic S905W device which runs a GXL image. The Wireless is ssv6051 which is not supported in mainline kernel.

Hi msvasb - FYI there was a patch added to remove wchar support in the latest version, due to dependencies. LibreELEC.tv/packages/addons/addon-depends/system-tools-depends/mc at master · LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv · GitHub

There is some other background on the MC bug tracker too.

Soringo / elonesna - I have only been doing updates to this add on in LE10, at this time.

I haven’t relooked at it.

Hi scaesare, correct on the squashfs, this is the SYSTEM in /flash. It (and the kernel) are updated on version updates. The /storage and /storage/.kodi/addon /storage/.config … are the user serviceable parts of LE. The validation / tracing to add this functionality will be to identify what chrome is doing, e.g. by trial and error or using strace or ….

Hi scaesare - a bit of research around this - RE: Chrome add-on : any plan to add it to version 10 ? - though no further investigation or development yet.

I can’t see your dmesg output in the above - could you share

You definitely have the tbs device 👍 from lsusb

please share -
