Please try to convince aarch64 repo managers to prepare shortwave packages. #62

Closed JanuszChmiel closed 4 years ago

JanuszChmiel commented 4 years ago

Dear kind and professional MR Rausty, Do you think, that you could try to convince Aarch64 repositoryes managers to add Shortwave radio player and recorder to one of available repositoryes, which yours perfect installation script configures?

I have spent many many hours to build Shortwave myself. But Libhandy specific version is needed and Mr Haecker, C programmer who work for GNome foundation has given Me a link for Libhandy version for X86 or X64 architecture. So I do not know, if I should build this library from source. Repo available version is incompatible and Shortwave build fail. Gradio can be build perfectly with no issues at all. https://gitlab.gnome.org/haarek/Shortwave

Any help to build is very welcomed.

SDRausty commented 4 years ago

Any help to build is very welcomed.

The recently added command makeyay enables yay, which in turn enables building Arch Linux packages from the aur repository. Can you see if any of these projects are to your liking @JanuszChmiel? Many of these packages should build easily and quickly in your smartphone.

JanuszChmiel commented 4 years ago

Oh dear kiND MR Rausty, Previously I have used official approach which The author of Shortwave has introduced. BUt resulting binary compiled code has crashed thanks to some UI creation library error. Aur rpo contain many packages which are currently not The aprt of The predefined Arrch64 repo. I will really install archlinux back to my phone to see new package building possibilityes. Gradio has stopped to work for Me. Because radio-browser.info WEB page has change and build in Vala routines could not cooperate with this online radio station searching service. So I can not use Gradio no more. Shortwave had unsoft accessibility. Gradio have been much more accessible. But I can not become Vala coder so I will try to use latest Shortwave to see The result.

SDRausty commented 4 years ago

Can you please try the newly working makeyay command which builds yay to see if it builds the packages you are seeking?

Use the makeyay command first. This will make the yay command for you, so that yay can be used in Arch Linux in a smartphone:

[user16:21~]$ yay -Ss shortwave
aur/slowrx-git r128.1760187-1 (+3 0.00)
    An SSTV decoder that aims for intuitive simplicity and lack of features not needed by a shortwave listener (SWL).
aur/shortwave-git 1.1.1.r45.g4ab88a6-1 (+7 0.15)
    Find and listen to internet radio stations
aur/shortwave 1:1.1.1-1 (+20 2.94)
    Find and listen to internet radio stations.

Share your progress here please; I am curious if the package you are seeking built well in your smartphone.

SDRausty commented 4 years ago

[user09:35~]$ yay shortwave|grep Installed
3 aur/slowrx-git r128.1760187-1 (+3 0.00) (Installed)

The slowrx-git package compiled quickly on armv7l Android 9 @JanuszChmiel; To make the command yay you can use makeyay.

JanuszChmiel commented 4 years ago

Please, who of us would have some time and would try to help Me to install and BuildShortwave by using Yay?

Unfortunately, my GIthub build by using yay -s shortwave have no success to build. There was error with libhandy library. Gradio code is outdated and is incompatible with up to date radio-browser.info domain. Yay is perfect packager builder, but libhandy library is very strange library. If somebody had success to build some Shortwave release, and if Shortwve really run without display error related to some Libhandy issue, please give Me step by step instruction to build it.

Problem is not caused by Yay but it is some problem caused by The build script related to Shortwave build routines. Thank you very much for yours patience. I love soft and slow romantic songs from 80S. And it is so fine feeling to llisten those songs from Linux on Android device. May be, that somebody would be even so big professwional, that Shortwave could become official AArch64 compatible official AUR repository package. But We must be patient to allow his app to be The part of ARU repo.

JanuszChmiel commented 4 years ago

Thank you very much. If I will not have The chance to build Shortwve, I will accept sad reality and I will use Seamonkey to listen radio by using http://www.radio-browser.info/gui/#!/ $ getprop ro.product.cpu.abi

arm64-v8a

Gradio will never work thanks to new radio-browser.info WEB site. Somebody would had to recode Vala Gradio source to support this WEB site. Gradio have been perfect player and have been fully compatibleš with Orca. Now I must build Shortwave.

[user10:25~]$ cd .cache/yay/gradio/
[user10:32gradio]$ nano PKGBUILD

Let us change line arch=('i686' 'x86_64') to arch=('any') so it does not tell us we are using the wrong architecture anymore. Also change:

package() {
        cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" ninja -C builddir install
}

Add sudo before the command ninja:

package() {
        cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}"
  DESTDIR="${pkgdir}" sudo ninja -C builddir install
}

Now we get to use this makepkg -irs --noconfirm command, and it worked:

To build gradio successfully. It is necessary to grab The original version from Github And then from Gradio folder run meson --prefix=/usr build

ninja -C build

ninja -C build install

Sure, you must install meson. But really. radio will very probably not work to search for startions. In Jun, it have worked. I have even built Shortwave successfully without Yay. No compilation errors. But binary could not run. I have got The following error

shortwave:15278): Gtk-ERROR **: 19:38:17.848: failed to add UI: .:3:984 Invalid object type 'HdyColumn'

Some C expert would had to determine The cause of this bug.

SDRausty commented 4 years ago

Gtk-ERROR **: 19:38:17.848: failed to add UI: .:3:984

This sounds more like a GUI configuration than a C one.

Invalid object type 'HdyColumn'

This one is C as you say.

SDRausty commented 4 years ago

To build gradio successfully.

To build gradio successfully change arch=('i686' 'x86_64') to arch=('any') and add sudo before ninja in package() in file PKGBUILD. Do not continue the build with yay; Instead use makepkg -irs --noconfirm to finish the build and to install gradio.

Have you managed to build gradio successfully?

JanuszChmiel commented 3 years ago

Dear MR Rausty Yes, I have built Gradio successfully even by using yay script or by building it manuály by using meson. Unfortunately, its source code have not been updated and special WEB site, which MR Haecker has used has changed. So Gradio do not search for stations at all. Because Radio-browser.info Has changed its content. Some Vala expert would had to try to update its source according to this WEB page update. Because Gradio is very very accessible.

I AM afraid, that Libhandy library may be call some graphic driver functions so it has caused some error related to column creation. May be, that Libhandy do not interact with X11 protocol, but it uses some special video driver calls. Or if this library is compatible only with vaylant not with X11. And I Am running TIgervnc and Tigervnc is based on X11.

I will try to ask The author of Libhandy. It will depend on his patienc and good will to debate. Because our mission, running Linux distro on userspace mode is sometimes not very welcomed by some apps authors. Because They had to recode their complex C or C++ codes to support also ArchlInux on Termux. I will try to ask him. But first of all, I will try to build Shortwave again according to advice of one Rust programming language community member. It will built to Binary form, but Libhandy will display error related to column creation after I will execute Shortwave compiled Binary.

Gradio do not search for stations at all

As far as I know this is because the feature was being vandalized. Would you like to try to reproduce this feature here?

In order to do so, the data link to the stations and the old config file locations are requested. Can you please create a PR in docsTermuxArch/issues/SDRausty/termux-archlinux/62 with this information? If not, please share in this issue.
