Disable NDI support when compiled on ARM SoC

[djbx83]

Hello CVMEventi, as I wrote in subject, it is convenient to disable NDI support when build executables on ARM SoC processors, because NewTek does not support NDI SDK on ARM CPUs. Indeed, when I trying to run and/or build on RaspberryPI, lasts versions with NDI failed to build up.

Thank you

Hello, NDI SDK supports arm on Linux, did you try compiling it?

[djbx83]

Honestly not, I haven't tried. I tried to build up Countdown on Raspberry Pi OS latest version, and failed on Grandiose library. So I suppose that this issue is caused by NDI libraries not available for ARM.

What do you suggest?

[cipi1965]

Unfortunately i haven't got any raspberry to try the build. I can try checking grandiose. Could you post the build log?

[djbx83]

Yes I could. I will retry to build on Raspi3 and post logs in the next days.

Thank you

[cipi1965]

Thank you. Is RPi 3 arm64?

[djbx83]

Thank you. Is RPi 3 arm64?

Yes it is. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/raspberry-pi-os-64-bit/

[cipi1965]

@djbx83 i tried build on a arm64 Ubuntu VM and it works correctly

[djbx83]

Ok. I will upload build trace in the next days, so you can see the error.

[cipi1965]

I can try adding an automatic build of arm64 targets in the mean time

[djbx83]

Thank you. It is not urgent, because if I use an older release, such as the last w/o NDI support, it works perfectly.

[cipi1965]

@djbx83 any news of your attempts?

[djbx83]

Sorry, but unfortunately I still haven't managed these days. I should be able to re-take a test tomorrow. Thank you!

Hello cipi1965, today I've decided to test on a Raspberry PI 4 8GB with the latest Raspberry PI OS 64bit and every upgrades done. I'm happy to announce that it works! I've followed these steps below:

• Fresh RaspiOS 64bit installation and every updates done
• Install Yarn (default Rasperry PI OS use cmdtest)

  curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
  echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt install -y yarn

• Tested version (OK):

  fabrizio@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/Countdown $ yarn --version
  1.22.19

• Install Node.JS 20

  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates curl gnupg
  sudo mkdir -p /etc/apt/keyrings
  curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/gpgkey/nodesource-repo.gpg.key | sudo gpg --dearmor -o /etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg

NODE_MAJOR=20
echo "deb [signed-by=/etc/apt/keyrings/nodesource.gpg] https://deb.nodesource.com/node_$NODE_MAJOR.x nodistro main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nodesource.list

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nodejs -y

• Git clone Countdown latest sources (0.0.33)

• Launch Yarn

  fabrizio@raspberrypi:~/Desktop/Countdown $ yarn
  yarn install v1.22.19
  $ node -p "'export const APP_VERSION = ' + JSON.stringify(require('./package.json').version) + ';'" > src/version.ts

As you can see, there are some errors but it works. After a couple of second it appear.

I don't know if the issue was caused by RaspberryPI 3... I will try next week when my Raspis 3 return to home (now are deployed on an event)

[cipi1965]

Do you use 32 bit RPi OS on RPi 3? It could be the difference with your RPi 4

[djbx83]

No, I don't. I've used same 64bit OS on Raspberry PI 3

[cipi1965]

Let's see with your RPi 3.

When did you try last time? There was a compile issue because of NDI SDK was updated and Grandiose not.

[djbx83]

Last time was the same day I opened the issue, September 13.

[cipi1965]

Is you used 0.0.32 it should have worked

[djbx83]

Yes, 2 weeks ago I've tested 0.0.32
