Support for Solaris/OmniOS.

[chincheta0815]

Is there a way to support the plugin on Solaris/OmniOS?

I have such a system running with disaster's plugin. When you tell me a way how to compile the plugins essentials, I would create a pull request for you.

[philippe44]

I'm not sure I fully understand the question I think we discussed it on the squeezebox forum. I don't have a Solaris compiling system, but the makefile shall be easy to modify. There is a common makefile for all platforms where you need to change a few macros that points to the main folder and to tinymdnssvc (you'll find it on my github pages as well). Then create a makefile.sol (eg) starting from makefile.armhf (eg) and adapt it to whatever compilation options are needed by you C compiler on Solaris

[chincheta0815]

You got the question partly ;o)

I already have the plugin running, but it is the disaster123 one. This has to be installed manually... I now thought to use the one you provide since it comes with LMS.

Compiling the helper-binary should work for me as I already did that.

I was wondering on how to compile the perl stuff and put that into the file structure. My idea: I do a fork, add all stuff needed for OmniOS and give you a pull request. Therefore, I need some input on where the essential things have to be changed...

[philippe44]

if you are willing to compile the helper, I'll take care of the perl changes and integrate everything into the package. Then, whenever I'll do an help update, I'll let you know. I can try to do a Solaris compile environment, but I need to look it a QEMU solution exist. For the helper changes, they should be very minimum: you mainly have a few #ifdef WIN32 or #if WIN but the #else is either not specific to another OS except in a few rare cases where there are specificities for Linux, OSX or freeBSD. Look at platform.h. The mDNS server that I've modified to run for Windows should be exactly the same and I expect it to tun directly under Solaris

[chincheta0815]

Yes I am willing ;o) Only issue right now: platform.h is referenced in hairtunes.c but not in the makefiles... is that intended or can I fix that?

[philippe44]

that's an error. I added it recently for the debug modifications and forgot to put it in the makefile dependencies (although that file -almost- never change). I re-looked at the code and in fact you might have to do nothing, unless there is some SunOS idiosyncrasies with sockets, which according to the previous code, if it was working in Solaris, should not be the case

[chincheta0815]

Just a short info: The reason for the confusing diff was that I changed the line ending with dos2unix...

[philippe44]

oh ... that makes sense. I mostly edit under Windows and my editors transparently handle CRLF issues (they leave the file to whatever format it is) but I've made the mistake a few times to use another editor that forces CRLF, Problem is that I won't see the mess created unless I edit under a non-DOS OS, which I've not done yet (at least recently) for ShairTunes2W. If you prefer, you can push the changes again then, I'll double check with another diff tool with my local version and then accept your changes. It was just uneasy for me to see what was going on as I'm travelling currently and have limited access to my main machine

[philippe44]

So I've modified a bit the platform.h, These new files should produce a workable helper

[philippe44]

Tell me if you see my comment about what needs to be buit in lib/

[chincheta0815]

Yep. I read your comment on the perl stuff in /lib.

Do you have a build-script for that? Otherwise I would do one...

[philippe44]

no I don't - as I don't need to do that often, I left it manual. Once you cpan the OpenSSL::Crypt::RSA, you'll find what's needed under the site_perl sub-directory

[philippe44]

It's pushed the update in the dev repository. Let me know if it works

[chincheta0815]

Well, with your github.com repo pull to my server and then put everything into the plugins dir it worked. Just enabling it in LMS did not as it downloaded a version of ShairTunes that does not support Solaris...

If I have to change something to get a "dev" plugin, please tell me.

[philippe44]

did you add the dev repository in the LMS 3rd part plugin?

[chincheta0815]

no. until now i did not know that there is one existing ;o) can you provide the url?

[philippe44]

[philippe44]

As you are using an x86 Solaris version, I've downloaded a VM and compiled the helper from it. Can you le tme know if this 0.41.1 works for you? If it does, then I won't need to bother you every time I'll make a change in the helper

[chincheta0815]

Hey Philippe,

sorry for the late reply.

The dev-repo works! Only thing to mention: Could you add the perl Modules for the „Oracle Solaris“ perl?

My ones are for a self compiled 5.18. On OmniOS which I am using the perl version is 5.16.

Maybe you could add the respective perl lib for the original Solaris version from the Virtual Box?

[philippe44]

my Perl version is 5.12 - I'm not sure I should add them, might be more confusing, no?

[chincheta0815]

Well, to be honest, I think that would be awesome. This would mean, that Solaris/Illumos is supported with the base packages...

It might be that you have the original Oracle Solaris running which uses Perl 5.12. Illumos based distros (OmniOS, OpenIndian...) might use 5.14...

I woud say put in there what one can get... I will have a look for the original 5.14 ones that come with OmniOS...

Is that okay for you?

BTW: I have another question concerning the use of one of your LMS-to-... bridges for another project I am working on. Where can I put that best to get the valuable input from you I appreciate?

[philippe44]

done, don't know if it will work, but I've added the 5.12 modules. For the other topic, you can contact me at my email: philippe_44@outlook.com

[chincheta0815]

Thanks a lot.

Just wrote you an eMail.
