[Development] Error building OSMC source code

Help and Support

Hi all,

I’m trying to build the osmc vero3 source code.
I built and install the armv7 toolchain but I receive the following errors when I build the “mediacenter-osmc”:

The toolchain for vero3 (Vero4K/+) is aarch64-toolchain-osmc, not armv7-toolchain-osmc.

Edit: I’ve never had a need to build the whole of OSMC but, for example, to build the mediacenter-osmc package, I’d simply run:

git clone git://github.com/osmc/osmc
cd osmc/package/mediacenter-osmc
make vero3

Hi,

thanks for the reply.
This is the error when the mediaceter-osmc is built without the arm7 toolchain:

Sources updated successfully
Package armv7-toolchain-osmc is not found on the system, checking APT
Can't find the package in APT repo. It needs to be built first or you need to wait for upstream to add it

Are you building on a PC or Vero?
You should build mediacenter natively with armv7 toolchain. The aarch64 toolchain is only used for the kernel

Hi Sam,

I’m building on a PC. I’d like to create the image for the Vero.
Thanks.

You will need armv7 toolchain.
Just clone the repo and run make vero3 from /package/mediacenter-osmc and the build script will do the rest.

Hi gmc,

I know that there is the possibility to clone and get the armv7 toolchain from the repository.
Anyway, I’d like to build everything on my own from the source code.

Here below the steps that I followed (I’m building the code on a Ubuntu machine):

  1. Build the armv7 toolchain:
~/osmc/toolchains/armv7-toolchain-osmc$ make
sudo bash build.sh
sudo rm -f *.deb > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo rm -rf output > /dev/null 2>&1
sudo rm -rf opt > /dev/null 2>&1

Not sure on that. Sounds like a bug. Do you have enough memory?
Have you tried compiling on the Vero3?

I’ve never done a vero build on the PC before.

chroot and run apt-get -f install and it will fix it

Hi Sam,

Hi,

Build Kodi and kernel natively to avoid problems.
That’s what we do for speed. You can work around it by updating QEMU

Sam

13

Hi Sam,

thanks for your response.
I don’t have a vero4(+), I’d like to do the OSMC porting for my S905x device.
Thanks.
Bye

14

Then bring up rootfs first and do it package by package

Sam

15

Hi Sam,

thanks again.
If I run Armbian on the S905x device and, from there, build the OSMC, do you think that it would work?
Thanks.
Bye.

16

OSMC is a complete OS so you can’t run some of the packages; you need the whole OS.
