Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
I am very happy now. I have been listening to my music collection all weekend and Spotify as well. I reinstalled LMS and ran buildme.sh including the additional instructions but maybe I just looked in the wrong folder since there is a 5.32 folder both in build as well as in build/arch. Build/arch/5.32 contains: i386-linux-thread-multi-64int i686-linux-gnu-thread-multi-64int I did not know which one to copy so I copied both. LMS started just fine after this. Again, thank you for all your help. I am really pleased.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
Thank you for all the help so far. I did the additional buildme.sh script commands. The CPAN/build/arch folder contains a 5.32 folder which contains the folders: bin lib man. Should there be an architecture file or folder starting with aarch? The documentation says: cp -r build/arch/5.26/aarch64-linux-thread-multi /path/to/slimserver/CPAN/arch/5.26/ (replace 5.26 with 5.32, of course) Would that not work? Did the build run through correctly? ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

in addition to the comments by gordonb3: You will get the green button on the web page https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor , which is the home page of the repository. https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/CPAN is just the URL a subfolder of the repository. On my Ubuntu server with LMS, the "CPAN folder" is located in /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/. Probably it is the same for you so that your copy command may look as below: cp -r build/arch/5.26/aarch64-linux-thread-multi /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.26/ jd68's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30795 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I can't replicate it on my machine. The missing include file is part of ffmpeg that is also built by the script and should be in the folder ./build/include/libavformat It is possible that the build of the rather ancient version of ffmpeg failed without generating any warnings and the file thus in fact may not have been installed. It's not critical though. If you are not going to use UPnP this particular module (Media::Scan) will in fact not be used, so it is okay to skip it. To complete the remaining modules simply run the following from the CPAN folder: Code: ./buildme.sh MP3::Cut::Gapless ./buildme.sh Sub::Name ./buildme.sh Template ./buildme.sh XML::Parser ./buildme.sh YAML::LibYAML Do note that the buildme.sh script does not install the files to the correct location by default. When done you need to go into the `build` folder and copy the folder named `arch` to the CPAN folder in your LMS installation. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
Sorry about the confusion with the git commands. Yes after cloning you need to change dir into the downloaded repository before you can run any other git commands on it. In case other should look for it, the download zip link can be found here on the GitHub page (after clicking the green button). 35959 +---+ |Filename: slimserver-vendor-git.jpg| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=35959| +---+ gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
With 'git clone' you have downloaded the files. Then you have to change into the folder that you have created: cd slimserver-vendor Now you can decide which branch you want to use, e.g. 8.2 or 8.3. That is done by the commands 'git checkout public/8.2' or 'git checkout public/8.3'. You can switch from one branch to the other if you change your mind. But these git commands must be executed in the folder slimserver-vendor or in a subfolder. That is probably the reason for your error. Then you go to the CPAN folder and execute the buildme.sh shell script. By the way, I suggest to use the 8.2 branch. jd68's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30795 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I dont get it. If I go to mysqueezebox.com it looks like 8.2 is the latest version but I think I installed 8.3, and GitHub shows public/8.3 at the top I dont need the latest version really.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
I did not find any Download ZIP option, perhaps because Im using a Windows 10 desktop and not a Linux GUI. The git alternative sounds nice so I installed the package and did the clone command which downloaded sliserver-vendor including all the CPAN files. Since I have installed LMS 8.3.0 I tried git checkout public/8.3 I got an error message: fatal: not a git repository (or any parent up to mount point /) What does the checkout command do? Should I try it with 8.2 or should I go to CPAN and run the buildme.sh?

On the GitHub page a series of buttons is shown near the top, the far most right of them being green. In that same line verify that the text in the far left button matches the version of LMS you want to install. If you got the 8.2.0. version from mysqueezebox.com click the button and select `public/8.2` from the dropdown list. Next click the green button and select `Download ZIP` to get a complete archive of all the files.

My point here is that if you go to mysqueezebox.com, the first site anyone comes on because the documentation included with the device says you need to go there, you can find ready to run binary distributions as well as a `source code` which is not a complete source code but merely the noCPAN version. The text shown after the download link is clicked also does not give any further instructions for this particular download (and in fact the link to the important upgrade instructions for ReadyNAS users is broken). I remember the first time I found that my combination of CPU and Perl was not supported I spent close to a full day to find what I needed, where to find it and how to get it (it was on subversion back then). i.e. one thing that could be done that will require little effort is to edit the `Thanks for downloading Logitech Media Server!` page to include a source code instruction with a link to the slimserver-vendor master archive on github. gordonb3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=71050 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115271 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
Thank you again for the help. I appreciate it. I have now made the preparations by installing the listed packages on my Debian system. I now understand I should download all those files. I suppose I can make a directory for this and then run the buidme.sh from that directory. Is it important that the folders in the beginning are in separate folders as well (hints, icu58_patches, icu_collation) or can the files be just in the same folder with all the rest? I suppose I can then delete these files if the compilation is successful, right?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Need troubleshooting help for LMS installation on Debian
Define old. If one is looking for a fanless system this is exactly the type of CPUs you will end up with. Just check the specs of well known NAS systems - a huge number of them are arm5 or i386 code inside. Exactly: nowadays it's only used in closed systems where the user is not supposed to touch the software installation at all. As an individual you can't easily get a 32 bit CPU any more on the market. But that's not even the point. The decision whether I want to include binaries for a platform or not is rather "statistics": if only a hand full of users need it, I won't provide it. It's not only about the work to do it, but it's also about the overhead in the repository, in packages etc. FWIW: there are about three times as many armv5 based LMS8 installations as i386. And both of them are very low single digit percentage of the install base. ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

I don’t know which of the instructions in the link I should look at.
