@lduboeuf I think by the time I'm done with this I might be an expert haha. I opened an issue for telephony-service on gitlab. I'll look into making a merge request, though I hardly know what the process involves.

You seem like a one man army in here haha. Your name pops up a lot in many different places. Thanks for the effort man! I know it's a thankless job but your time is appreciated albeit by few. Thanks for looking into this.

humm, so i've checked out the ubports/focal branch and did crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build , and it get build. But i admit i haven't clean my project before since i face internet issue currently...
But iirc on many project we need to specify some foreign installs first before build, like:
crossbuilder inst-foreign=dh-translations --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build

When I use the command:

crossbuilder inst-foreign dh-translations --lxd-image=ubuntu:20.04 --architecture=arm64

i get this error:

Error: Failed to fetch instance "lomiri-telephony-service-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev" in project "default": Instance not found

I did fiddle with this command for a bit a couple of nights ago to no avail. I tried installing liblomirihistoryservice-dev:arm64 via inst-foreign. Didn't have any luck. I noticed it always mentions xenial with that command.

I ended up drafting a merge request. The package fails to build on mandatory distribution. It fails to build binaries. It's being looked into by the maintainer.

Regarding your MR, i don't see why you added .gitlab-ci.yml , core projects are not built with gitlab CI but with Jenkins ( auto run when pushing to the MR), explaining that you don't have any package built.

The error "lomiri-telephony-service-usdk-16-04-amd64-armhf-dev" you got seems weird, i don't see why 16.04 is there

lduboeuf · 19 Aug 2024, 07:40

indeed, i've tried to start from scratch, and it fails to build with crossbuilder now:
First try with: "crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build"

mk-build-deps: Unable to install telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

second try, i have some 404

That one is fixed with that MR: https://github.com/ubports/crossbuilder/pull/78
But still not working...

ok, got it build locally, was not easy...
From a clean install ( crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 delete )
I've first change this in debian/control file:

dconf-cli <!nocheck>,
....
python3:any <!nocheck>,

Then installed dh-translations: "crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 inst-foreign dh-translations"

It failed to find inttool and jq, i've tried to install them via inst-foreign too, but got a message saying that tmp/debian already exist, i removed it from the "foreign" folder, then retry a build, and it worked....

oh, just noticed that if you change also in debian/control, it works directly:
dh-translations:all,

@lduboeuf I'll be the first to admit that I have no idea what I'm doing lol. Should I delete the yml file? This gitlab stuff is a bit convoluted. Much of this is new to me.

yes you can remove it

Timespansoul · 19 Aug 2024, 19:52

@lduboeuf Here are my results.

I deleted image with:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 delete

I edited the control file:

               telepathy-mission-control-5,
               xvfb <!nocheck>,

i then ran the build command:

crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 build

I got these errors:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

I then attempted to install dh-translations:

 crossbuilder --lxd-image="ubuntu:20.04" --architecture=arm64 inst-foreign dh-translations

get this error:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of dh-translations:
 dh-translations depends on intltool; however:
  Package intltool is not installed.
 dh-translations depends on jq; however:
  Package jq is not installed.

I then delete the tmp/DEBIAN folder :

sudo rm -r foreign/tmp/DEBIAN

and run the build command and get this error:

mk-build-deps: Unable to install lomiri-telephony-service-cross-build-deps at /usr/bin/mk-build-deps line 457.
mk-build-deps: Unable to install all build-dep packages

EDIT: dh-translations actually did install at this point in my process.

I am then was able to successfully install dh-translations.

I then run the build command and get these errors:

and this one again:

This whole process was tried with "dh-translations:all," in the control file with the same result.

It seems as though the syntax you provided, with inst-foreign dh-translations before the distro and arch variables gives the xenial error I mentioned.

lduboeuf · 19 Aug 2024, 20:58

@Timespansoul it seems you are on main branch, please double check.

There should be dh-translations:all in control file

Timespansoul · 19 Aug 2024, 23:52

This post is deleted!

Timespansoul · 20 Aug 2024, 00:03

Hold on here...

Timespansoul · 20 Aug 2024, 03:08

@lduboeuf Ok. My apologies, I was somehow working with main again. Not sure why I kept that.

Ok so I made sure to be in the right directory this time(ehem, cough).

I followed the directions you provided in the above post and the package built successfully! Thank you Iduboeuf!

I had to give writing rights to a few files which was pretty straight forward. I also noticed that my syntax was incorrect in my control file as you can see in my above post. I forgot to add a space before the <!nocheck>. It would've failed anyway I imagine.

My brain feels so much better now. I've never been happier to see a tar file! I'll mark this as solved right away.

Thank you very much for helping me with this. Considering the edits needed in the control file I think it would've taken me a lot longer to solve this on my own. I can say that I've learned a lot along way. Gitlab is new to me and there is much to learn.

lduboeuf · 20 Aug 2024, 06:17

@Timespansoul
Glad it worked.

If you run crossbuilder.... without the build it will auto deploy to the device ( but sometimes it fails so you have to install it manually ....)

johndoe · 21 Aug 2024, 23:03

I have no idea about this program or could help here. But I was seeing that there was a discussion about how to build it for multiple days.
If it is not obvious how to build it, it should maybe be mentioned in the README. Just as a suggestion...

True, but this is the same for all core projects, Some of them can be built in one shot, others need adjustments and be modified ( the case for that one ). Not easy indeed

Timespansoul · 22 Aug 2024, 14:26

@lduboeuf Will the merge request lead to an updated control file?

It has been merged to ubports/focal, so yes.
