I apologize for taking so long to respond. I got myself stuck on a jury for a trial that went on for weeks and ate what little brain I had left when I started. I was able to perform all the DSDPlayer steps as described without any errors, however attempting to configure a player under Settings just tells me "DSDPlayer does not currently include a version of dsdplay which supports your server. DSD playback has been disabled for this player." There is nothing relevant in the log, at least not at the default settings. Running ./ickHttpSqueezeboxPlayerDaemon-arm-linux-gnueabihf gives me "error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory" I really, really appreciate your assistance, but there's probably not much point in pursuing this further, at least not on my behalf.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Building LMS for 64-bit Debian running on ARM Single Board Computers
. . Sure looks like a bunch of trouble to do something that can just be done using a quick Vortexbox Image. The reason I say that is if one doesn't want to run a big server but one also feels that a Raspberry Pi is not powerful enough or doesn't have enough storage, why not run a NUC or a Micro Server? Is 5 watts really going to make that much difference especially if one can just install a Vortexbox Image from a USB Thumb Drive and be done with it? Almost any 64 bit Micro Server, NUC, or Atom is a good candidate for a very energy efficient LMS/PLEX media server. If efficient but still need a bunch of storage, go for the 4 bay Micro Server with Optical Drive and rip CDs and Movies automatically. Just need a music server with 2TB or less, then a 4 by 4 by 2 inch NUC is perfect. Want small but still want auto ripping with 4 to 8TB of storage, then build a Vortexbox using an Atom. Burn the Vortexbox Image to USB Thumb Drive and be done in 10 minutes. *iPhone* Media Room: ModWright Platinum Signature Transporter, VTL TL-6.5 Signature Pre-Amp, Ayre MX-R Mono's, VeraStarr 6.4SE 6-channel Amp, Vandersteen Speakers: Quatro Wood Mains, VCC-5 Reference Center, four VSM-1 Signatures, Video: Runco RS 900 CineWide AutoScope 2.35:1, Vandersteen V2W Subwoofer Living Room: Transporter, ADCOM GTP-870HD, Cinepro 3K6SE III Gold, Vandersteen Model 3A Signature, Two 2Wq subs, VCC-2, Two VSM-1 Office: Touch with Vandersteen VSM-1s Kitchen: Touch in-wall mount w/ Thiel Powerpoint 1.2s Bedroom: Squeezebox BOOM Bathroom: Squeezebox Radio Around the House: SliMP3, SB1, SB2, SB3 Ford Thunderbird: SB Touch, USB drive Ford Expedition: SB Touch, USB drive iPhone's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13622 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108166 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Currently, as my instructions earlier in this thread show, I am copying binaries into /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin/. What about the perl Modules? If you would be willing to consider a pull request, I am currently in the process of trying to make the existing build scripts run on aarch64, but with a "do no harm" philosophy to ensure all other platforms keep building as they do today. See for example: 'here' (https://github.com/crazzell/slimserver-vendor/commit/a381441dde084bdddce360a13e4040d7a156e64e). Nice! Did you base this on that other pull request which already exists? I did merge yet another pull request earlier today which should handle new perl versions much better than before. Make sure you rebase your changes. Notice the function refresh_config takes no action at unless the platform is Linux and the ARCH is aarch64. In that sense it is hopefully safe, but your review comments would be welcome. I am doing the same for the other buildme-linux scripts as well (work in progress). Thanks! Ordered a Rock64 today.

Thanks, Roland, you make perfect sense and are well ahead of me as
usual.
Wouldn't it be nice to get these changes (or something very like them)
merged into the main Logitech slimserver-vendor git repo? What were
discussing seems like reasonable fix and could close this 'issue'
(https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/issues/9).

If you wanted to check for arch, then one would just put the test into

I guess I've become used to the convenience of easily installing and updating Debian packages, and wanted to maintain that convenience, even if I couldn't use your nightly builds anymore due to lack of direct aarch64 support.

What I really meant was a more robust solution. Another way to copy in the latest, known config.guess file without risking a broken automake would be to use: wget -O config.guess 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD' or curl 'http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess;hb=HEAD' > config.guess The only assumptions used here a working wget (or curl) and an Internet connection. These extra build steps would be protected by an if [ "`uname -m`" == "aarch64" ]; then conditional, so the probability of breaking the script for existing platforms for which it works would be minimal. Any thoughts on why the above is not a good change to propose?

Okay, good to know this has been tackled by others before me. I see the patched buildme.sh updates the troublesome, outdated packages to overcome the staleness of the config.guess. My thought was not to stray further from the beaten path than necessary, so using the same (outdated) source code as the official Logitech build scripts seemed a better idea to me, but that's arguable both ways. I have experimented with actually running automake again instead of just copying in a newer config.guess, e.g., invoke automake -a -f, in all those places where outdated packages won't build. I'm not sure if that's better or worse, but it does work. We could have the following inserted at all the critical places in buildme.sh Code: if [ "`uname -m`" == "aarch64" ]; then automake -a -f fi or Code: if [ "`uname -m`" == "aarch64" ]; then cp `dpkg -L automake | grep 'config.guess'` . fi Either of these would be non-destructive to normal users of buildme.sh. -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108166 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

[SlimDevices: Unix] Building LMS for 64-bit Debian running on ARM Single Board Computers
1) Motivation: I don't want to run a power-hungry PC 24/7 with spinning fans etc, but I want something faster the a Raspberry Pi to run LMS (I still use the web interface). There are number of fast, cheap SBC's out there that handily out-perform the RPi3, such as OdroidC2 (which supports an eMMC module for storage), ROCK64 (which has USB3 and eMMC). Quad-Core ARM Cortex A53 64-Bit Processors and support for 2GB or 4GB of 1600MHz LPDDR3 memory, endow these tiny machines with similar power to the x86 PCs many of us used as LMS servers back in the day. 2) Issue: ARM64/AARCH64 architectures are not currently supported in the highly build Debian packages as of now. It seems you have to roll your own. 3) My solution: Build Debian install packages using the method and scripts supplied here: https://github.com/Uplink03/logitechmediaserver-deb. This, in turn, pulls together the source repositories from https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor.git, https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver.git and https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-platforms.git. After checking out the repo Code: git clone --recursive -b public/7.9 https://github.com/Uplink03/logitechmediaserver-deb.git I wanted to make sure I was using fully updated sources, so I did the following (probably not the right way to do it, but it worked for me). Code: cd logitechmediaserver-deb/source/vendor git pull https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor.git cd ../server git pull https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver.git cd ../platforms/ git pull https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-platforms.git Now the only problem I has was that those CPAN libraries that use automake/configure generally fail to complete the ./configure script on 64-bit ARM machines. To fix this, I modified ./logitechmediaserver-deb/source/vendor/CPAN/buildme.sh to copy the platform's config.guess file into each of the unarchived source directories, immediately before running ./configure. A suitable patch for doing this is attached, but you might have to edit the path to config.guess to suit your installation,(dpkg -L automake | grep guess) will tell what it should be. In my case, it was /usr/share/automake-1.15/config.guess. This simple trick is enough to allow ./logitechmediaserver-deb/source/vendor/CPAN/buildme.sh to run to completion without further issues. Then, it is sufficient to the following command in ./logitechmediaserver-deb Code: dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -b -us -uc This should leave you with the following files, ready to install with dpkg -i Code: rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 4476976 Oct 20 21:16 logitechmediaserver_7.9.0+lmce1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 2549430 Oct 20 21:16 logitechmediaserver-code2000-font_7.9.0+lmce1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 4908774 Oct 20 21:16 logitechmediaserver-cpan-bundle_7.9.0+lmce1_arm64.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 1745448 Oct 20 21:15 logitechmediaserver-firmware_7.9.0+lmce1_all.deb -rw-r--r-- 1 charles charles 3396910 Oct 20 21:16 logitechmediaserver-html_7.9.0+lmce1_all.deb This is a reasonably easy route to follow, the only trickery being the need to patch CPAN/buildme.sh to work around automake's config.guess being so old in many packages. Can anyone suggest a more elegant way to solve this, that we could perhaps get merged into the official logitech repo version of buildme.sh? +---+ |Filename: slimserver-vendor.patch | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=23873| +---+ -- "Dreamer, easy in the chair that really fits you..." dsdreamer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12588 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108166 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
