Firmware doesn't compile on NixOS

[assimilat]

Attempting a build for hi3518ev300_ultimate via the documented methods, initially got this error:

make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/firmware/output/build/hisilicon-opensdk/libraries/sensor/hi3516ev200/sony_imx335_2L'
Makefile:6: ../../../../../../Makefile.param: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../../../Makefile.param'.  Stop.

I removed this from the Makefile in the sony_imx335_2L directory and tried again:

ifeq ($(PARAM_FILE), )
    PARAM_FILE:=../../../../../../Makefile.param
    include $(PARAM_FILE)
endif

ifeq ($(MPP_BUILD), y)
ifeq ($(CBB_PARAM_FILE), )
    CBB_PARAM_FILE:=../../../../../Makefile.param
    include $(CBB_PARAM_FILE)
endif
endif

That resulted in errors for missing includes for sony_imx335_2L. I checked for the existence of sony_imx335_2L's includes via this:

for i in $(grep include /tmp/firmware/output/build/hisilicon-opensdk/libraries/sensor/hi3516ev200/sony_imx335_2L/* | grep "[\#]" | cut -f2 -d'#' | grep "[\"]" | cut -f2 -d'"');
 do
     if [ -z "$(find . -type f | grep ${i})" ];
     then
         echo $i;
    fi;
done

Which returned these missing includes:

hi_comm_sns.h
hi_comm_video.h
hi_sns_ctrl.h
mpi_ae.h
mpi_awb.h
hi_comm_video.h
hi_sns_ctrl.h
gpioi2c_ex.h
hi_i2c.h

Please describe step by step how to reproduce your build error

[liamdiprose]

I'm getting this error too: when building firmware:

git clone https://github.com/OpenIPC/firmware.git
cd firmware
./building.sh gk7205v300

Giving minutes of successful compilation, then:

make[3]: Entering directory '/home/liam/projects/firmware/output/build/hisilicon-opensdk/libraries/sensor/hi3516ev200/sony_imx335_2L'
Makefile:6: ../../../../../../Makefile.param: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../../../Makefile.param'.  Stop.

Try the following:

cd firmware
make deps
make all

[liamdiprose]

Thanks for the make deps tip. I'm not on a Debian derivative, but I'm sure I have all the packages installed in that command now. I'm still getting the same error as before: Makefile.param: no such file or directory.

Where does this file originate? I cannot find it mentioned anywhere else.

[viktorxda]

It looks like a problem with the makefile, but it only occurs when I directly try to build sony_imx335_2L:

Makefile:6: ../../../../../../Makefile.param: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target '../../../../../../Makefile.param'.  Stop.

You can try to search for sony_imx335_2L on the output directory and delete the folder, after that try to resume the build.

Edit: This problem actually occurs during the build, but it does not stop the building process:

make[4]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent make rule.
Makefile:6: ../../../../../../Makefile.param: No such file or directory
make[4]: *** No rule to make target '../../../../../../Makefile.param'.  Stop.
make[4]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.  Add '+' to parent make rule.

I'm not on a Debian derivative,

What's your distro?

[liamdiprose]

I'm using NixOS.

shell.nix

```nix { buildFHSUserEnv }: (buildFHSUserEnv { name = "openipc-br-env"; targetPkgs = pkgs: (with pkgs; [ automake # autotools-dev bc # build-essential gcc cpio curl file fzf git ncurses.dev libtool lzop gnumake rsync unzip wget perl ]); profile = '' export M="gk7205v300_lite" ''; runScript = "bash"; }).env ```

[liamdiprose]

Removing the sony_imx335_2L folder does fix the problem. So I wonder if a missing dependency was causing the script to "fall-through".

make BOARD=$M all works now, I have a rootfs.squashfs waiting for my camera when it arrives :smiley:

[widgetii]

I suggest using Debian or Ubuntu-base distro for compiling code (or fix compilation by yourself). Nobody in our team uses NixOS currently

[viktorxda]

I added a possible fix: https://github.com/OpenIPC/openhisilicon/pull/15

[widgetii]

I added a possible fix: OpenIPC/openhisilicon#15

Merged

I can confirm sony_imx335_2L is back. This build is now working on NixOS (using the shell.nix above). Thank you everyone!
