Build script troubles? #782

Open cmichal2 opened 8 years ago

cmichal2 commented 8 years ago

I'm trying to build an xbian kernel for a cubox-i with some custom patches. I'm trying to follow the instructions at: https://github.com/xbianonpi/xbian/wiki/Building-XBian-packages but run into some troubles. First, $xbiangit --arch armhfjessie --action build fails because it refers to a version number of xbian-package-repo (1.0.6) that doesn't exist. After replacing the version number in create.buildroot with one that exists, the same command fails due to a dependency problem with xbian-package-initramfs-tools:

The following packages have unmet dependencies: xbian-package-repo : Depends: xbian-package-initramfs-tools (>= 20150918) but it is not going to be installed E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

Are there more recent build instructions somewhere else?

@cmichal2 I'm not sure if there is a more recent documentation about this.

But - for building kernel it is not necessary having a schroot enviromnent ($xbiangit --arch armhfjessie --action build does this), you only need a cross compiler if you don't use an arm system for building the kernel.

In my case, I'm building my special kernels in a debian8 amd64 vm without having a schroot environment.

Thanks. I did manage to build the imx6-4.1.y kernel. I'd love to try imx6-4.3.y, but the build fails with a bunch of unresolved symbols related to cec and edid. Is there a solution known for this, or is that a work in progress?

@cmichal2

4.3.y is (was) under development... best is to start with default xbian (kernel build) .config - imx_v7_cbi_hb_xbian_defconfig.

ARCH=arm make imx_v7_cbi_hb_xbian_defconfig
ARCH=arm make menuconfig

Thanks. The build does still fail with cec and edid issues, but perhaps that's just where it stands.

@cmichal2

due to changed dependencies mxc_edid & drm turned to M. change them back to Y.

CONFIG_FB_MXC_EDID=y
CONFIG_DRM=y

(this applies to both 4.1 & 4.3 - after you fix config all will be ok)
