Build my own Vix image

[birdman]

And I've now tracked down whence it comes!!

e2openplugin-OpenWebif/plugin/httpserver.py

A "fix" would be to add a comment at the start of OpenWebif/pluginshook.src saying that it might be symlinked from WebInterface/WebChilds/Toplevel.py, then when you look at that file you'll know that it is intentional and done by OpenWebif.

And do something to stop the error message at Plugin start-up (just as something was done to stop it being "cleaned-up").

[Huevos]

So the whole "plugin" is created by OpenWebIf... and...

"/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/WebInterface/WebChilds/Toplevel.py"

is just a symlink (not a real file) that leads to...

"/usr/lib/enigma2/python/Plugins/Extensions/OpenWebif/pluginshook.src"

Just a heads up, I've upgraded my Linux box to Ubuntu 21.10 and needed to install lz4 to get the build to work

Where in build, which box ?

[lincsat]

I would imagine for any box

sudo apt-get install lz4

sudo apt-get install lz4

Just that Huevos has been forced to build on 21.04 and he apparently didn‘t have to install it - so thats why I was interested in knowing when/where it broke - there is another issue on 21.04 which he is fixing box by box - so you may hit other problems

It's the only error that I got. Build succeeded after installing package but I didn't install the full image, just updated packages

I had to add something for 21.04, and lz4 sounds about right.

There are (or were) a few other fixes/patches I had to apply (== make up myself). Nowhere near them at the moment, so can't say what they were. Worked in the end.

Does Ubuntu 21.04 include broken software?
What kind of issue with 21.04 would need fixing box by box?

When GCC is built it has default compile flags. The default flags in 21.04 may be different from the ones in 20.04. That means a piece of code that might have raised a warning in 20.04 will raise an error and halt the build in 21.04. And as some code is box specific this needs fixing on a box by box basis, e.g. linux kernels.

Yuck!
So you're having to insert lots of compatibility options to cope with lots of assorted old code.

If you are not in control of the incoming code you patch it in do_patch() in the bitbake recipe. This is pretty standard

When I updated to 21.10, I only add to install the lz4, everything else seems OK, I've built H7C, H9Combo and Vu Ultimo4k. I didn't do a clean install of 21.10, just went through the software updater on the Ubuntu desktop
