Squeezebox Server 7.6 + Perl 5.14

[michif100]

Allright, would it then be possible that "makepkg" is missing?
One step further: if i succeeded in building the package, what would be the next step?

Hi,

sorry for the crappy link. You can get my latest PKGBUILD info as .tgz at http://spaceplug.de/armel/logitechmedia ... src.tar.gz . And here's the package that runs on the iconnect: http://spaceplug.de/armel/logitechmedia ... pkg.tar.xz . It runs well as far as i can see but file indexing seems faulty. Have had no time to look into it. ayor.

I don't know if anyone is still reading this thread, but I managed to get the one of the nightly builds of the Logitech Media Server working on a Pogoplug Pro which has been upgraded to Perl 5.16.

I grabbed the ARM Tarball from the official server: http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.8
I also grabbed the tarball and PKGBUILD for logitechmediaserver on AUR: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53691
I made a few minor modifications to the PKGBUILD. Added 'arm' to the arch entry. Changed the source to be the ARM tarball and corresponding sha1sum. Commented out the last line of the build section where the non-Archlinux versions are being deleted because the ARM Tarball already only has the ARM binaries. Everything complied okay. When I ran the server, it gave me a few warnings: defined(@array) is deprecated at /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/Class/Inspector.pm line 124. /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/Log/Log4perl/Config.pm line 840. /opt/logitechmediaserver/Slim/Player/SB1SliMP3Sync.pm line 146. After a little research I found that Perl 5.16 started enforcing that warning for defined arrays. You can fix these errors by simply deleting the "defined" in each affected file at the line indicated.

The nightly has changed today but hopefully the instructions will still work. You'll just have to change the PKGBUILD to refer to the new file and add it's SHA1 checksum.

Good luck!

I've been kind of keeping an eye on this forum hoping someone might actually post something of value that will help me build LMS 7.7.2 for my GoFlexHome.

I've tried to build this package for arm several times but have yet to succeed (It takes 2 hours plus to build it on the GFH). I tried your suggestions on how to build the nightly tarball. It's currently at 7.8.0 (logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1342011222-arm-linux.tgz). It failed to build. I then tried the official perl version tarball of logitechmediaserver 7.7.2-4 at http://www.mysqueezebox.com/download but I get an error at cleanup.

I changed the arch to ('arm') and hard coded the filename and sha1sum into the PKGBUILD (which I had already figured out). I also commented out the last line in the build section (#rm -r Bin/{arm-linux,darwin,i386-freebsd-64int,powerpc-linux,sparc-linux}) as you suggested.

I suspect from the error it may be that it thinks it's a i386 file rather than arm.
I would like to learn how to build the package myself but programming is not my strong point. I don't know where to go from here. Would it be possible you could assist me in figuring out what I'm doing wrong?

I get the following error:

#rm -r Bin/{arm-linux,darwin,i386-freebsd-64int,powerpc-linux,sparc-linux}

Un-comment at least the arm-linux part. You're correct on the strip failed.

Is it Bin or bin
?

After hours of frustration trying to figure it out success at last. I was able to build LMS package from the 7.8 nightly build (logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1342011222-arm-linux.tgz). It's installed and running on my GFH (despite the array errors).

These are the steps I used to build the package (that is once I figured it out)
NOTE: Do be aware that 7.8 is beta and may or may not work as expected.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# Update / Upgrade packages
sudo pacman -Syu

# Install Native Build Essentials
# Ref http://archlinuxarm.org/developers/building-packages
sudo pacman -Sy kernel26-headers file base-devel abs

##when install is complete then run abs as root to create the ABS tree by synchronizing it with the Arch Linux server.
# Ref https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ABS
sudo abs
')
Make a directory to do the build. I chose /logitechmediaserver but any directory should work.
Download the nightly build ARM file from http://downloads.slimdevices.com/nightly/?ver=7.8 into the root of your build directory. There is no need to untar it.
Download the PKGBUILD tarball from the AUR at https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=53691. The tarball will contain several files. Extract the contents of the tarball into the root of your build directory.

Edit the PKGBUILD file to make it build correctly.

# Calculate the sha1sum of the LMS tarball
sha1sum logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1342011222-arm-linux.tgz

# at line 4 change the pkgver from 7.7.2 to 7.8.0
pkgver=7.8.0

# At line 9 add arm to arch
arch=('arm' 'i686' 'x86_64')

# at line 13 hard code the first line of source with the LMS tarball filename

# At line 55 comment out the last line in the build section.
build() {
.....
#rm -r Bin/{arm-linux,darwin,i386-freebsd-64int,powerpc-linux,sparc-linux}
}

# Save and close the PKGBUILD file

# As your user run the makepkg to build the package.
sudo makepkg --asroot -Acs
')
2 to 3 hours (or so) later, if all goes well the LMS package should be created in your build directory.
logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-4-arm.pkg.tar.xz

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '
# Install the server
pacman -U logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-4-arm.pkg.tar.xz

# Once the install is complete start the server
/etc/rc.d/logitechmediaserver start
')
The array errors can be ignored. It'll work just fine with them.

Open your web broswer. In the address line type in your servers ip address and port 9000
Example 192.168.1.180:9000 NOTE: Your servers ip may differ.

When the page opens sign into mysqueezebox.com then click the NEXT button in the bottom right corner of the page.
Configure the folder that contains your music and enjoy.

You might want to edit /etc/rc.conf and add logitechmediaserver to the DAEMONS= line at the end of the file so it'll start at boot time.

I think I covered most everything.
Enjoy

Modified PKGBUILD file that I used.
