Legato 18.04.4: compilation fails for targe "red_wp85"

mangOH Red
1

Hello,

I have tried to set up a Ubuntu Dev Machine for Mangoh Red develompemnt by following the Mangoh Red Getting Started guide published on Mangoh.io.
I have tried to do so both on a native Linux Ubuntu and on Virtual Box Linux Ubuntu. In both case I use Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS.
The installation fails in the same way. I have the logs for the whole installation process.

The error that leads to the compilation failure is:

More details:
I am using the toolchain for WP8548 & WP75xx Firmware Release 15, that is: SWI9X15Y_07.12.14.00. The actual script file I downloaded from the source is: poky-swi-ext-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-swi-ext-armv7a-vfp-neon-toolchain-swi-ext-1.7.3.sh
I also tried with and without the steps suggested in the “~/mangOH/README.md” file: same failure.

thanks for your help

PS: in the same environment, the compilation for target “gree_wp85” works just fine

Hi Luigi,

I had exectly the same problem. Build works for mangoh green but not for red and stops exactly there. I ended up using the makefile from two months ago. I am not sure if it messes up anything but it seems to work…Let’s keep in touch!

Hi Tom,

thanks for sharing.
Which version of the makefile works for you?

Hi,

I have used the “mangOH.sdef” and the “Makefile” from here


Let us know what you experience.

I believe I have fixed it in a mangOH repository commit that I just pushed.

Basically the problem was that the iio kernel module was changed to depend on an enum definition that doesn’t exist in the wp75/85 kernel. For the 76/77, iio is already built into the kernel, so the change to the iio kernel module within the mangOH repository had no effect. As a quick fix, I have added an #ifdef to make sure that the undefined symbol isn’t referenced.

A better solution might involve moving the IIO headers out of tree as well. I need to think about that some more though…

Hello,

I just tried to recompile with the latest commit of the Mangoh repository (3b57736) and I can confirm that the compilation went completely ok!!!
Well done!

thanks for the very quick response
