Squeezebox Server 7.6 + Perl 5.14

[user11]

This is why I've installed squeeze in place of arch. Arch is great, but has very limited choice in official repository, where squeeze has almost everything you need. It takes a couple of minutes to install squeezebox server under squeeze. I spent three days trying to compile it under arch, but my only achievement was a high level of frustration. I'm still hoping that someday it will happen, but unlike a lot of other users (you can check the official squeezebox server forum as well), arch developers apparently don't use logitech products, and have no interest in providing it in the official arch repo. Tough luck...

Just an update. If anyone has been following my posts to this thread, I was able to get the latest nightly logitechmediaserver-7.8.0-1362754234 to compile on a Pogoplug Pro using the following process.
Of course, in order to build a package, you need to have the developer tools installed.
pacman -S base-devel
Grab the latest tarball from AUR maintained by vesath. This is actually for the normal non-nightly version and it's not exactly for ARM devices so a few changes need to be made to the PKGBUILD before it'll work. Basically, I correct the version and release information to match the nightly, update the CPAN area to reflect the files for version 7.8 (this is new, I was using the version 7.7 CPAN files but it didn't work this time while the 7.8 files did), and edit a line in the clean-up stage. https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/logitechmediaserver/
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lo/logitechmediaserver/logitechmediaserver.tar.gz
Uncompress this tarball and edit the PKGBUILD
tar xvfz logitechmediaserver.tar.gz
It'll create a directory called logitechmediaserver.
cd logitechmediaserver
nano PKGBUILD
My final PKGBUILD looked like this:

Proceed to build the package. This process will take a few hours.
makepkg -Acs --asroot
Once complete, you simply install the newly complied package.
pacman -U whateveryourfileis
There are a few files that need to be fixed so the program doesn't complain about deprecated defined arrays and an invalid overload argument. In each of the three files below, just delete the word 'defined' on that particular line.
nano +124 /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/Class/Inspector.pm
nano +840 /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/Log/Log4perl/Config.pm
nano +146 /opt/logitechmediaserver/Slim/Player/SB1SliMP3Sync.pm
And in this file, it appears that the quote '"' should be a double quote '""'. So just add another quote next to the quote in the line.
nano +24 /opt/logitechmediaserver/CPAN/DBIx/Class/Storage.pm
That should be it. Start the server with /etc/rc.d/logitechmediaserver start
You can access the server from a browser at theipaddressofthepogoplug:9000.
Good luck!

It still doesn't work for me. It always fails at the same stage

[fujcru]

I got the latest nightly of LMS to compile for me. To user11, I also had it fail at the same place you did. And in my experience, when the compile fails, especially repeatedly at the same point, it means a lack of sufficient memory. I'm guessing you have a 1GB swap partition or a 1 GB swap file. After the compile failed, I deleted my swap file and created a larger 1.5 GB swap file and enabled it. Reran the makepkg and this time it worked just fine. Installed the newly compiled version and applied the few fixes to the few files mentioned in my previous post. Started the server with no error warnings and tested it. Happy to report it's working just fine. Here's a copy of the latest modified PKGBUILD. $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# Maintainer: Gaetan Bisson <bisson@archlinux.org>
