Topic: Own IPKG packages build with OpenWRT-SDK (mysql & perl)

The content of this topic has been archived on 27 Apr 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

Hello everybody !

I'm a new OpenWRT user, specially for rb532 boards.

Now, thanks to the nice Kamikaze svn depot, I've been able to build an image with all drivers and packages needed (chilispot, freeradius, ...) exept for mysql-server (seem to be not avaible) and a full perl interpreter.

In fact, I need a perl interpreter which supports the md5 and filereader functions.

So I've decided to build the myself. Obviously, as I'm a newbie, it's more easy to say than to do smile Now I've got trouble :<

Here what I've done : (as said here : http://wiki.openwrt.org/BuildingPackagesHowTo)

--> I've decompressed the generated SDK.
--> Into the OpenWRT-SDK directory I've created under the "package" directory, two sub-directories :

BuildRoot/OpenWrt-SDK-rb532-2.6-for-Linux-i686$ ll -R package/

If you want to see the `config.log' I can pastebin it for you.

I've tried to compile mysql directly whith the same options ($ ./configure --target=mipsel-linux --host=mipsel-linux --prefix=/usr --without-libiconv-prefix --without-libintl-prefix --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib --includedir=/usr/include --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --disable-nls) and no error ...

And my perl sucks too sad sorry I'm a big newbie with ipkg build !! It's more easy to do ipkg install ... smile

So if someone has any idea ... thanks in advance for your precious help. See U smile

Hi again !

In order to solve my problem, I think that I just have to find a way to disable the sprintf test because as said :

checking "return type of sprintf"... configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
See `config.log' for more details.

But how ? I've tried to edit the configure file in the mysql sources directory, ~, checked the compilation options, ... I don't know what to do.
Many thanks for your help.

toboz.

Hello all,

I even answer myself me. I finally gave up the attempt to compile MySQL. 

I baited myself to compile Perl thanks to Makefile of frol (see here: http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4122).
I finally succeeded in compiling Perl with the basic modules like DBI and DBD::SQLITE. I say that so that all the people needing absolutely a data base on
their board, use perl-dbi-sqite.ipk, it is a good alternative.

All my builds are targeted for RB532 so if someone wants them, contact me.
If other people want my package directory, contact me too.

Here while hoping to be able to help somebody.

Ah yes, and still thank you in Frol;)

toboz.

Hi toboz,
did you use buildroot to compile perl, or just SDK? I'm having problems to do it.
I added frol's source to compile perl for my wp54 wrt. I copied all folders in openwrt/package folder and then I executed "make menuconfig", but I can't see Perl in the packages list. I added a Config.in copying microperl's Config.in, but I still can't see Perl in the list.
I also wrote about this problem at http://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=4122.
Thank you in advance.

Hi ggp81,

I've used the OpenWRT SDK for rb532 (that's my board).
I've a little modified  some frol's Makefiles and mixed some other from perl 5.8.7 and from perl 5.8.8.
I've not tried to make perl appear in the make menuconfig since I've used the SDK. If you want, I can send you my package directory.

Good luck.

toboz.

To fix that error you need to edit configure.ac and run autoconf to regenerate configure.

oh ... thank you very much.

I will test as soon as I have a little more spare time can you please say to me or you found this informartion ?

Many thanks.

t.

I forget where I read the solution. I first ran into that problem when configure replaced all the calls to malloc() with calls to rpl_malloc() in some program I was trying to cross compile. The solution was the same: It's a well known problem when cross compiling. The configure script attempts to compile and run a program using the cross-compiler, which obviously will not run on the development machine - so it fails that test.

Thank you for your quick answer. You are certainly right about the proposed solution.

It looks like people were pretty close to getting perl build on Kamikaze. I was wondering, if it is available as a package? Microperl is too "micro" for my needs; and I don't feel knowledgeable enough to create the environment and build myself (not to mention, that I didn't see the sources that are known to work on Kamikaze).

TIA

Hi all !

Iymhee_bcex: If you need database access, here my personal repository: http://mypics.fr/openwrt-sdk/
I think of having the same packages as d1mag with in more :

- perl-dbi_1.54-1_mipsel.ipk (DBI module - tested & ok)
- perl-dbd-sqlite_1.13-1_mipsel.ipk (DBD::SQLite - tested & ok)
- pgsql-perl_1.9.0-1_mipsel.ipk (Pg module - not yet tested - on standby of DBD::Pg)

To us all we well will end up having a complete Perl under OpenWrt smile Enjoy and keep me informed of eventual problems. If someone needs my "package" directory of "my" SDK, he (or she) has just to mail me.

See you soon.

toboz

ggp81, toboz - thank you both!

toboz, unfortunately, your directory gives me too many dependency errors. For example, I install perlbase-essentials, it tells me that I need perlbase-config, and perlbase-config also complains about several dependencies.

Also, perl itself has a (minor) glitch: it installs only perl-5.8.8, but not perl link.

ggp81 seems to install easier.

I maintain nightly builds for gallery project. I build them at home, and scp to the public site. So, I was hoping to build on the router (ASUS 500gP), rather than to keep server running. So, I don't need a database, but I need CLI perl and PHP. So far, looks very promising

Also, how difficult would it be to build perl with String::CRC32 support? While it is obviously not crucial, we include crc checksup as part of the distribution... and I am afraid people will prefer to have it that way regardless where I am building it hmm

You have also to thank d1mag smile
toboz gave me his kamikaze sources, avoiding everybody a lot of work. Those sources had only two problems: the dependency errors (toboz tested perl on SDK and not on the Buildroot), and some variables interpretation problems
I was only able to fix the first problem (the less critical and easiest to fix). d1mag fixed the other one, assuring us a full working perl version.
So d1mag sources should be better, because they are the same sources which toboz gave me, but improved.

toboz: you should update your sources on your site, adding your 3 tested modules. Sorry if I forgot to pm/email you and tell the news

Hi all [!]

toboz, unfortunately, your directory gives me too many dependency errors. For example, I install perlbase-essentials, it tells me that I need perlbase-config, and perlbase-config also complains about several dependencies.

Exact, I'didn't care about dependancies, I installed my version with the "--force-depends" ipkg option (yeah brutal method I know ...) into an install script. So I install every packages and don't care about the order. Not very class, sure ...

Also, perl itself has a (minor) glitch: it installs only perl-5.8.8, but not perl link.

Exact too, I linked perl5.8.8 to perl throught my brutal famous install script smile

Yeah sure, where can I find d1mag sources ? Can he share them to me ? He may could mail me his package directory...

Also, how difficult would it be to build perl with String::CRC32 support?

Within the SDK and the frol's permod.mk file, it is feasible. In my case I concentrate on the modules of data bases management but you can do it yourself with some samples files from which you could inspirate to write your own Makefile.

No problem !  Now I've got some and I'm charmed to see that there is world interested and moved by the bearing of Perl on OpenWrt ! best regards !

I just found this thread, and I will collect the makefiles and post it here if they are of interest.
I also fixed the problem in Time:HiRes module.

Hi everybody !

I just found this thread, and I will collect the makefiles and post it here if they are of interest.

I am interested smile

I also fixed the problem in Time:HiRes module.

Great news ! What was the problem ? Have you also noticed a problem on the  CPAN module (Me yes - I don't have access on my board to print the error message) ?
For my part I still don't have succeed to porte the DBD :: Pg module.

Howdy, the Optware MySQL seems to work. At least with Kamikaze 7.06. Would love an official package or eBuild (I don't know what we call the makefile and patches on the svn server).

The usleep function of HiRes didn't work at all. with the new version of config.sh-mipsel-linux-uclibc.in provided my d1mag, this problem is fixed.

Did you find those problems running the old or the fixed version of Perl?

Where is located this Optware ?

both ! Try to run "perl -M CPAN -e install [whatever]" and you will see.

Optware is a set of 3rd party packages provided by the NSLUG group. See http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware … g.Packages for more info.
You might also need the instructions here to install http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Optware

Since the SLUG has USB and hard drive support more effort has been made into porting more fully featured programs like MySQL and apache. Sadly, the Optware apache doesn't work on OpenWRT (at least on my WRT54GS). However, if getting a LAMP framework is a goal of yours, it would be nice to get some other user's feedback.

Personally I'm trying to get apache with modules to work on OpenWRT native, but having some issues.

Of course a native MySQL would be even better.
Also, should mention that my GS (8MB flash) can barely do Optware without its SD mod. Unless you have a GS and don't need some of the base packages, SD, or USB, its probably not possible to use Optware.

Thank you TemplaraPhoenix for your very intersting reply ! But I can only find ipk packages destinated to arm architecture (not mine, I've got a rb532 - so it's mipsel). Do you know where I can find ipk packages for rb532 or directly the NSLUG Makefiles ?

My WRT54GS is mipsel. The rb532 isn't technically supported by Optware, only the broadcom OpenWRT devices (did you check the platforms page on the first page I linked - http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/Optware/Platforms), but I'd try the dd-wrt feed anyway. If it doesn't work, just rm -fr /opt. It says on the platform page its mipsel and what I used. If this is your board - http://www.routerboard.com/rb500.html Optware seems like something you can do with your 128MB of flash.

Also, is this is your board - http://www.routerboard.com/rb500.html?

Yes it is and yes I should have enough space to build optware. Now I'm following the DD-WRT optware wiki and I have to adapt the optware-install.sh script because it doesn't work by default for me (problem with the /etc/resolv.conf file and the /opt partition not mounted).  Which version of OpenWrt did you use when you tried the dd-wrt feed ?

The discussion might have continued from here.
