luci doesn't build

[ambrice]

Using yocto morty, "./scripts/feeds install -a" fails with:

Probably useful to include branches you are using for all components as well as the actual bitbake commands

[ambrice]

I am using the morty branches of meta-openembedded, poky, meta-nodejs, and meta-freescale.

I added luci to a custom image recipe. It seems to succeed, bitbake doesn't report any errors but it creates an empty package, and looking at the do_compile.log above it seems like it's silently failing to compile. "bitbake luci" does the same.

meta-openwrt does not have any branches, what branch was it developed with?

[kraj]

I expect it to work with morty and jethro as well as master. If there are ABI breaking changes then we can branch. Please let me know

[kraj]

@ambrice can you retry with recent fixes on master and update if this issue is fixed now ?

[troth]

Just tried replacing luci2 with luci in the new openwrt-base-image.bb recipe and hit the same problem. Investigating it now...

[troth]

Found the following in the recipe:

$ echo '–a' | od -c
0000000 342 200 223   a  \n
0000005

$ echo '-a' | od -c
0000000   -   a  \n
0000003

Looks like some unicode got pasted into the recipe.

With the above change I get a little further in the installation of the feeds, but still get the following errors when building openwrt-base-image:

Here's the log from do_compile of the luci package:

Still investigating...

[mattsm]

Is anything staged for packaging for luci? Check in the packages-split dirs in tmp/work.../luci dir

[troth]

Nothing in packages-split:

$ find packages-split/
packages-split/
packages-split/luci-doc
packages-split/luci-dev
packages-split/luci-dbg
packages-split/luci-staticdev
packages-split/luci
packages-split/luci-locale

I think (guessing from looking at the code) the problem is trying to use the openwrt build system with oe_runmake. Luci is not in the openwrt/.config file, so the build does nothing and nothing ends up in the openwrt/staging_dir.

[troth]

I've done a rewrite of the luci recipe that just manually copies the luci files into the dest dir (they're all just files that don't need compiling anyways) and avoids using the openwrt build system. Here's my current version of the luci_git.bb recipe:

I will submit this in an upcoming pull request with a bunch of other changes I have pending. I've been working on getting the openwrt-base-image to boot to a semi-functional openwrt chaos-calmer system. I'm still working on getting netifd to startup and setup eth0.

[kraj]

This looks ok to me. Submit it as a patch.

[troth]

I've pushed a branch to my fork with the changes, but I have not been able to test if it is functional yet (don't have networking up yet in my image). All I can say is that luci builds and the files get installed in the image. Will submit a pull request when I have been able to test that luci works in a browser connected to my image.

[kraj]

sounds ok

[ambrice]

Updated recipe builds for me, but also haven't gotten the prerequisites running. What is the status of luci2, is it stable and full-featured? I was trying to get luci working since that's what seems to be in default chaos calmer, but I haven't found a lot of recent status on luci2.

[kraj]

I dont think we have working luci2 setup. Its not default in openwrt too IIRC

[troth]

It doesn't look like luci2 has seen any dev activity in nearly two years. I'm assuming that it is dead and since luci has seen recent activity that it is still moving forward. I already changed the openwrt-base-image to use luci instead of luci2 and once I get luci tested and work, will likely submit a patch to remove luci2 completely from the meta-openwrt layer.
