[MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros

Added by saen acro almost 8 years ago

Manual debugging step by step

There is a manual in WIKI with says there is a some needed packages dependency
https://tvheadend.org/projects/tvheadend/wiki/Building

Following this manual (from wiki) there is no chance to make any package

So here is how to solve this:
(Ubuntu 14.04LTS x86_64 used but possible to be used on newer, even "x86" version)

There is a lot of packages with need to install

First packages from wiki

sudo apt install build-essential git pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 wget libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev libswscale-dev libavresample-dev

so let see is this correct by running

./configure

and result is

surprise nothing happens

so we need package gettext

sudo apt install gettext

again configure command

Again missing essential part

sudo apt install cmake

Again configure

And success, there is a chance to build .DEB, but is it so simple are we miss some?

  checking for cc libiconv ...                      fail
  checking for cc libdvben50221 ...                 fail
  checking for pkg liburiparser  ...                fail (detected <none>)

those maby not 100% needed but lets install it:

libiconv
there is some strange with this library in newer version it is build in in in other library

sudo apt install libiconv-hook-dev

/// this will not solve dependency error message, maby error in configure script

libdvben50221
this is DVB-CI support for hardware CAM module on some devices
solved by instaling dvb-apps

sudo apt install dvb-apps

liburiparser

sudo apt install liburiparser-dev

Let's see with configure

Some will ask about

  checking for cc nvEncodeAPI.h ...                 fail

this is NVENC (nVidia hardware accelerator for transcoding)
I don't use nVidia can't help, there is a separate topic

So let's continue with bulding of .DEB packages.

Next step is to use Autobuild.sh, with will make all automatically. or not.


Again something missing
sudo apt install debhelper libcurl4-gnutls-dev

Crossing fingers an run again Autobuild.sh

If everything is OK,
compilation of FFMPEG X264/5 OGG AAC and some other codecs will be compiled before TVHeadend and finally .DEB files.

If there is no critical errors at the end there is show something as this

dpkg-buildpackage: binary only upload (no source included)
doozer-versioned-artifact:/opt/tvheadend/../tvheadend_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.deb:deb:application/x-deb:tvheadend_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.deb
doozer-versioned-artifact:/opt/tvheadend/../tvheadend-dbg_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.deb:deb:application/x-deb:tvheadend-dbg_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.deb
doozer-versioned-artifact:/opt/tvheadend/../tvheadend_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.changes:changes:text/plain:tvheadend_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.changes



/opt/tvheadend/../

this mean that I'm using /opt/tvheadend/ (source from git)
and files are generated in ../ (upper level) in this case /opt
installation can be done by command
sudo  dpkg -i tvheadend_4.1-2398~gc38af4c_amd64.deb

=====
Edit new dependency libpcre /Perl 5 Compatible Regular Expression Library/
to install it add 

Sudo apt instal libpcre2-dev

Warning library is not accessible to all OS versions then use libpcre3-dev

GPU VA hardware acceleration aka Transcoding

  checking for pkg libva >=0.38.0 ...               ok (detected 0.39.0)
  checking for pkg libva-x11 >=0.38.0 ...           ok (detected 0.39.0)
  checking for pkg libva-drm >=0.38.0 ...           ok (detected 0.39.0)

libva-dev
libva-drm1 (libva-drm2)
libva-x11-1 (libva-x11-1)
i965-va-driver-shaders (Latest Debian probably Ubuntu 20.04 for Intel GPU)

to work hardware need to support VA-API version minimum 0.39.0
ex.

there is a situation when Intel drivers are very buggy but work also
ex:

Short version of all needed packages

sudo apt install build-essential git ccache libpcre2-dev pkg-config libssl-dev bzip2 \
wget libavahi-client-dev zlib1g-dev libavcodec-dev libavutil-dev libavformat-dev \
libswscale-dev libavresample-dev gettext cmake libiconv-hook-dev liburiparser-dev \
debhelper libcurl4-gnutls-dev python-minimal libdvbcsa-dev python-requests

If libpcre2-dev not found use libpcre3-dev

Optional packages for optional features ;) 

sudo apt install dvb-apps libva-dev libva-drm1 libva-x11-1

If used Ubuntu 18.04+ libva-drm2 libva-x11-2

To enable SYSTEMD service --enable-libsystemd_daemon on Ubuntu 18.04 and upper, install libsystemd-dev

Keep in mind, this will install ~400+Mb packages.
Some packages will install other packages to satisfy its dependencies

How to clone Github repo to local folder

Usually regular command to clone repo is 

git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git

This will download latest source code (unstable) ready for compilation
but if need stable or other
use command
git clone -b release/4.2 https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git

command explained 
git clone -b <branch> <remote_repo>

branch list can be seen at https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend

ARM OpenMax support

Use only on ARM boards

apt install libomxil-bellagio-dev

do not forget to add option
--enable-omx

Python

Autobuild script search for python but it was replaced by python3
solution:

--python=/usr/bin/python3

Automated build script

Currently just clone only latest repo source code and compile it

#!/bin/bash

BASE=$(dirname "$0")
(
  if [ -d "$BASE/tvheadend" ]; then
    cd "$BASE/tvheadend" 
    git pull
  else
    cd "$BASE" 
    git clone https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend.git tvheadend # --depth=5 (need version tag workaround else 0.0.0 version)
    cd "$BASE/tvheadend" 
  fi
  time AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--disable-bintray_cache --enable-vaapi --enable-nvenc --disable-hdhomerun_client --disable-hdhomerun_static " ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc) # edit only betwin "quotation marks" 
) | tee "$BASE/build.log"

Use command

./configure --help

to see possible options.

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

I'm sorry but I need help again!
OK so I installed gperftools so that Google gperftools profiler error has now been solved.

But still tvheadend won't build because it cannot find mmal??

This is the build script I am using:

##!/bin/bash
#
# Name: build.sh
#
# Description: Build script for tvheadend on Ubuntu 20.04 32bit on Raspberry 4 with 4Gb or 8Gb
# Note: Only a couple of miniro changes as noted below to make this build on 64bit 
# Usage:
#    sudo -i
#    ln -s /usr /opt/vc
#    ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python
#    cd /usr/local/src
#    ./build.sh

#
# Note: the "ln" about is because some raspberry userspace packages are compiled from source during build,
# the files are installed in their "proper" locations in /usr.
# But some third-party scripts expect e.g. /opt/vc/bin/vcgencmd;
# Thus the hack
#    ln -s /usr /opt/vc
#

#
# Also the following needs to be put into /boot/firmware/config.txt
#
#gpu_mem=128
#[pi4]
#dtoverlay=vc4-fkms-v3d,cma-128
#max_framebuffers=2

BASE=$(dirname "$0")

if [ ! -x /usr/bin/python ] ; then
   echo "/usr/bin/python must exist for this to compile" 
   exit 1
fi
if [ ! -d /opt/vc ] ; then
   echo "/opt/vc must exist and be linked to /usr for tvheadend to compile" 
   exit 1
fi

I'm not sure why it is looking for mmal?

I followed through on my investigations about rpi-userland and managed to install it on my Ubuntu Pi 4 arm64 using https://gist.github.com/satmandu/c462ab301cbe09bd6e7cf4db7f626727

I was hoping this would allow the build process to "see" that I have mmal because... well I do:

root@ubuntu:/usr/local/src# dpkg -L rpiuserland | grep mmal
/opt/vc/lib/pkgconfig/mmal.pc
/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_mmal_encode
/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_mmal_encode/Makefile
/opt/vc/src/hello_pi/hello_mmal_encode/mmal_encode.c
root@ubuntu:/usr/local/src#

Except unlike the bcm stuff I don't seem to have the mmal library files??
Maybe that's why I am still getting that MMAL not found error?

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ dpkg -L rpiuserland | grep bcm 
/opt/vc/include/bcm_host.h 
/opt/vc/lib/libbcm_host.so 
/opt/vc/lib/pkgconfig/bcm_host.pc

ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ls -l /opt/vc/lib/ | grep mmal 
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$

Should these files also be in /opt/vc/lib/:
libmmal_components.so
libmmal_core.so
libmmal.so
libmmal_util.so
libmmal_vc_client.so

How do I solve this ---> ERROR: mmal not found

Any help very much appreciated !

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by saen acro about 2 years ago

mmal is not supported on 64bit userland systems
https://github.com/raspberrypi/userland/issues/688

Maby you need to skip it until Raspberry team solve it.

attach just build.log
there is not SPOOL/Collapse option in Redmine

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

@saen acro

Maybe you are correct. If I add --disable-ffmpeg_static then it DOES build.

I have attached the build log.

These are the build options I use and everything else as before. I left out any mention of mmal and have --enable-omx

time (
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="" 
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="$AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA --disable-android --enable-pie --enable-avahi --enable-libsystemd_daemon --disable-bintray_cache" 
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="$AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfdkaac --enable-omx" 
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="$AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libvpx --disable-libav" 
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="$AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libtheora --disable-vaapi --enable-gperftools" 
    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="$AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA --enable-gtimer_check --enable-slow_memoryinfo --enable-cclang_threadsan --enable-ccdebug" 
    export AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA
    ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc) -t focal-arm64
  )

But with these settings I still get:

ERROR: mmal not found

I was hoping there might be a workaround but maybe it's as simple as MMAL is just not currently supported in 64-bit Pi systems as you say.

My current tvheadend build is actually from Michael Marley PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~mamarley/+archive/ubuntu/tvheadend-git

I asked him and he said the build log for his ARMv8 builds shows that OMX acceleration is enabled but MMAL is not.

So then how do I build tvheadend with OMX support and omit the MMAL? I'm not sure now how to turn OFF MMAL.

I tried
--disable-mmal

Except I don't think --disable-mmal is actually a config option at all.

If I try...
--disable-mmal
OR
just do not include any mention of mmal in the config options I still get the build error:

ERROR: mmal not found

How do I tell the build process not to use MMAL but to use OMX?

If I add --disable-ffmpeg_static will I still get OMX support? Is there a way to test that you have OMX support other than looking at the build.log ?

Thanks so much for your support on here.

why use so big peace of text

    export AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA
    ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc) -t focal-arm64
  )

just use

    AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--disable-android --enable-pie --enable-avahi --enable-libsystemd_daemon --disable-bintray_cache \
--enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libfdkaac --enable-omx \

--enable-gtimer_check --enable-slow_memoryinfo --enable-cclang_threadsan --enable-ccdebug" \
./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc) -t focal-arm64
  )

where "\" is new line of long text line

"export" without "unset" is not good idea

-t focal-arm64

This is useless if used in device directly, this is for cross-compilation.

OK I figured out that to enable OpenMAX (omx) and disable MMAL when building on my Pi 4 running Ubuntu I do this in the config options:

Leave this out...
--enable-mmal (there is no --disable-mmal option)

Add in...
--enable-omx --disable-ffmpeg_static

As saen acro said before you also need to add in...
--disable-libav --disable-vaapi

Question, with my Michael Marley tvheadend installation running on my Pi 4 all of these encoders are available:

But when I build tvheadend on the Pi 4 myself I have to disable vaapi, libtheora or it won't build?

So how come those encoders above register on my Pi 4 in the Michael Marley build? Maybe because that tvheadend was built/cross compiled on an intel CPU?
Will they work on my Pi 4? For instance 'h264_vaapi' or 'libtheora'?

@saen acro
Nice one... that's just what I need because I want to know how to build tvheadend with the same setup MMarley uses.

You mentioned in a previous post that when building tvh on a Pi it is not necessary to do:
ln -s /usr /opt/vc
or
ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/bin/python

In the case of python you can put --python=/usr/bin/python3 in the build config.
How would I put...

ln -s /usr /opt/vc

in the build config?

Something like:
--includedir=/opt/vc
??

I guess you need to read value of export command:

export

and add to it, not in compilation parameters.
as suggested in this forum

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vc/lib

Awesome... I made that change now and it works!

I'm studying MMarleys build log https://launchpadlibrarian.net/627632817/buildlog_ubuntu-jammy-arm64.tvheadend_4.3.0~pre+202210071820-0~built202210071932~git81838dbb6~ubuntu22.04.1_BUILDING.txt.gz

I'm trying to understand why he is able to build with libav support but I cannot? I sent Michael an email I'll let you know what he says. Unless you know?!

His build config has --enable-libav --disable-ffmpeg_static but my build fails unless I do --disable-libav --disable-ffmpeg_static

I installed libva-dev and tried with --enable-libav --disable-ffmpeg_static. I get a lot of errors: "Package libavresample was not found in the pkg-config search path." then it fails but I actually don't think those errors are the reason why it fails but maybe it is?

Maybe the version of libva-dev on MMarleys build system requires libswresample-dev but on Ubuntu Pi 4 libva-dev requires libavresample-dev which is now unavailable to me.

I'm sure this is not very important but I'm in too deep now to let it go!

His build use Launchpad environment with is Ubuntu 20.04

There is a list of all packages installed (468) compare it to yours

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

As far as I can see I am using the same package list.

I am getting a bunch of libavresample errors but so does MMarleys build. They don't cause his build to fail so when mine fails is probably due to something else:

At the very end I get:

No package 'libavresample' found
Package libavresample was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libavresample.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

I googled about:

libvpx.so.7: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line

See page https://github.com/audacity/audacity/issues/3173 talks about differences in the linker you use and compiler flags... so maybe my compiler/linker is different from teh MMarley set up.

MMarley set up:

Compiler:
  Using C compiler:                        cc
  Using C flags:                           -g -O2 -ffile-prefix-map=/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>=. -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -flto=auto -ffat-lto-objects -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security

My set up:

  Build for arch:                          aarch64

I tried add those flags like this:

AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="--enable-hdhomerun_client --disable-hdhomerun_static --enable-dvbscan --enable-dvbcsa --enable-dvben50221 \
        --disable-android --enable-libav --disable-ffmpeg_static --enable-libx264 --disable-libx264_static --enable-libx265 --disable-libx265_static \

        ./Autobuild.sh -j$(nproc)

But my build log still only has these compiler settings..


Compiler:
  Using C compiler:                        ccache cc
  Using C flags:                           -g

  Build for arch:                          aarch64

And the build still fails as above.

That's annoying.

I could be wrong but I don't think that's the reason for the build fail. I think the dependency on libavresample was removed from tvheadend. https://github.com/rpmfusion/tvheadend/blob/master/tvheadend-4.3-libavresample.patch
Although clearly something else is looking for libavresample (maybe the libav package?) I hardly know what I'm talking about!

MMarleys successful build output also has about 100 of these errors:

No package 'libavresample' found
Package libavresample was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libavresample.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

You say MMarley has 486 installed packages. I wasn't able to find that number or anyway how do I get that list of 486?

When I look in:

I double checked and I had them all, except for sbuild-build-depends-main-dummy which I was not able to install but I'm guessing it is not really a package?
But that list is not 489 packages. Where did you get 489 from?

Michael told me that another different thing about his PPA build process is his build recipe takes the regular TVHeadend git repository and merges in the "master-debian-lp" branch. I don't know what that means but maybe some of his packages are different from mine?

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

libavresample-dev is not in apt repository in Ubuntu 22.04 but I tried installing it just now from your link, thank you, https://ubuntu.pkgs.org/20.04/ubuntu-updates-universe-arm64/libavresample-dev_4.2.7-0ubuntu0.1_arm64.deb.html

This idea won't work because I am using Ubuntu 22.04 on which libavresample-dev has been replaced by libswresample.
When I tried to install libavresample-dev from the .deb file there were lots of unmet dependencies because other packages it relies on need to be older versions, e.g: it needed libavutil-dev 7.4.2.7 but I have 7.4.4.2 but that was just one package, lots of other packages are affected! For a while I tried uninstalling some of them and replacing them also with older versions but that will just end up breaking my whole system.

Maybe I could downgrade my OS to Ubuntu 20.04 and then get access to all these older packages from apt. But as I mentioned I don't think that installing libavresample-dev is a show stopper because MMarley doesn't have it either in his Ubuntu 22.04 that successfully builds tvheadend.... also with libav support.

In order to build TVH with libav support I think I could be missing some other package maybe from that list of 489 packages you mentioned in a previous post. How did you get that list of 489 packages?

Cheers,

Flex

Any suggestions?

EDIT:
ok, stupid me... I should start the binary with --noacl arg rather than -C :)
Now I can run the binary.

Hello Stefan can I ask you a favor please?

I am also trying to build tvh. In my case, on Ubuntu server 22.04. If I enable libav it won't build otherwise it does. I think I could missing a specific package.

I see you got it to build with libav support. Could you please do a...

apt list --installed

on your system and post the results here?

He build for:

Build for arch:                          x86_x64

ARM64 is a total different thing

sell RP4 and take "Jaguarboard One Plus" ;)

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

I got it to build with libav support.

I took a hint from the post by Stefan S... THANK YOU.

I was getting this build error: “DSO missing from command line?” I googled and came across this page https://candid.technology/how-to-fix-error-adding-symbols-dso-missing-from-command-line/ giving suggestions about why that error might occur and one of the reasons was in the compile command to "Try switching the library order". So I thought maybe I needed to have the magic --enable-libav LATER in my AUTOBUILD_CONFIGURE_EXTRA="" list just as Stefan S does?

These are all the things I did differently to make it build with libav support:
I changed my config list to these and in this order... basically almost the same as Stefan S:

--disable-ffmpeg_static --disable-libfdkaac_static --disable-libtheora_static --disable-libopus_static --disable-libvorbis_static --disable-libvpx_static --disable-libx264_static --disable-libx265_static --disable-libfdkaac --enable-libopus --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-libx264 --enable-libx265 --disable-avahi --disable-dbus_1 --disable-bintray_cache --disable-execinfo --disable-hdhomerun_static --enable-hdhomerun_client --enable-libav --enable-pngquant --enable-trace --enable-vaapi --prefix=/usr --ldflags-ldvbcsa --ldflags-ldhomerun --platform=linux --python=python3

I don't know if these next things made any difference...
I also commented out these two lines at the top of the buildTVH.sh

#export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/vc/lib
#export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$HOME/ffmpeg_build/lib/pkgconfig

• And manually made the symbolic link again...
# sudo ln -s /usr /opt/vc

• I had also installed these packages earlier...
libavcodec-dev libswresample-dev libavformat-dev libavfilter-dev

... but the build also failed after installing them so installing them surely didn't make it work?

I have the same support/features now as Stefan S except no -mmx and -msse2 which apparently are Intel processor things. Stefan S has "libavresample"!! So his build output didn't have a million warnings like this:

No package 'libavresample' found
CC              src/input/mpegts/tsdemux.o
Package libavresample was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libavresample.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Really I think the TVH code should be updated to stop those dependency warnings because libavresample is not needed to make a successful build.

I made a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 install on my Pi 4, updated it and installed my .deb file like this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo dpkg -i tvheadend_4.3-2038~g5f9404117_arm64.deb

It installed fine, I got the Web UI set-up wizard and TVH runs as a systemd service!

In the end maybe it was moving the --enable-libav further down the list of config options that made it build. No idea why. MMarley has his --enable-libav almost at the beginning of the list and his builds. I have also now left out some options I had in before (e.g: --enable-nvenc --enable-omx and a few others) maybe putting them back in will break it again!

Anyway, thank you to @saen acro especially for all your help and patience!

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by Sean Warner about 2 years ago

By process of elimination I finally discovered why my TVH was not building.
It was this option which I was enabling:

--enable-ccdebug

With that enabled the build fails like this:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/src/tvheadend/build.linux/src/transcoding/codec/codecs/libs/libvpx.o: undefined reference to symbol 'vpx_codec_control_' 
/usr/bin/ld: /lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libvpx.so.7: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line 
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status 
make[2]: *** [Makefile:713: /usr/local/src/tvheadend/build.linux/tvheadend] Error 1

ccdebug is disabled by default... I don't know if anyone ever enables it. MMarley does not and Stefan S above didn't. I'm not even sure ccdebug exists. I googled lots, there is a mention of it in https://linux-packages.com/aur/package/ccdebug but the AUR is not much use to me building on Ubuntu. Also it doesn't appear to actually be in the AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/ccdebug.git and this mentioned webpage http://ccdebug.sourceforge.net/ doesn't exist! ccdebug is also not mentioned on github and I searched the apt repository for related matches but didn't find anything:

sudo apt-cache search cc
sudo apt-cache search debug

So I'm guessing that --enable-ccdebug is no longer a valid tvheadend build option? If so it should be removed.

It would help if the TVH build options were documented clearly. Someone asked about that here https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/30792 a few years ago but that went nowhere it seems.

If anyone knows about ccdebug please let me know. I'd like to get 100% closure on this!

Cheers,

Flex

Option is compatible with old OS's, and removing is not an option.

Look at this location:
https://github.com/tvheadend/tvheadend/tree/master/Autobuild
and create Jammy Jellyfish equivalent suggestions.
if watch older branches in this location have more OS's

Q. Why people use old OS?
A. Because driver for some devices is unstable or incompatible with newer.

RE: [MANUAL] Building .DEB packages on clean Ubuntu or other Debian distros - Added by D M almost 2 years ago

Can anyone help get this build to succeed? I tried ubuntu and Debian, but it always fails. It always ends with the following.
