beardybloke:

Are you compiling this over an NFS mount or Samba?  The clock skew messages seems strange to me.  However, I don't know if that is getting in your way.

Would you post (attach) your Rules.make?

Additionally, please note that you should first build the entire tree (this is actually a step in the Getting Started Guide) before attempting to build the demos directory individually.  In the past, I have found the demos can have dependencies on other components that may lead to failure (probably at link time), althought the log above does not appear to exhibit this scenerio.  But it does not hurt to build entire tree to be on the safe side.

Also, sometimes directory permissions can get in the way (e.g. you are logged in as "user" and some directories may have "root" permissions).  I have found that error messages in this scenerio are not always clear it is a permission issue.

The missing seperator error means there is a bug in the Makefile, in particular that you have spaces instead of a tab before a command line or there are carrige returns where there should not be, did you ever try to edit the Makefile in the decode directory from perhaps a Windows editor? For fixing this you may want to open that Makefile in a text editor that can show you the special characters and see if there is anything different about line 20 versus the rest of the lines in the file.

I've attached my rules.make file.

I'm running this file over the NFS mount.

I think your right about the clock screw messages, they are only warnings not errors.

As I'm running this from the DM355 directory i would imagine that it is compiling the whole lot not just one file.

I assume I have the rules.make file correct as it is goibg into the directories to compile them.

Forget about the clock screw errors...

If I run the make file direct from the PC, not vis the EVM board I don't get them but I still get the final error. 

Sorted I think

Can some one just tell me if this is correct please?

HI Again,

Going well -ish this morning

I think the make -install all worked. no erros any way.

So I added a printf() line into the main code in the decode project

And then ran make

Obviously this time it tried to do a full compile of the project.

First error was it could not find the compiler. sorted that one. But now I'm left with a list of errors. I think they are all to do with the PATHS in rules.make as was the compiler error.

I've put my new rules.make at the bottom of this page. I have noticed that xdc_3_00_02 is now xdc_3_00_02_11.

Another error in the rules.make file is that  most of my files are in /packages directories where this is not mentioned in the original lines?

This certainly looks like a PATH issue.  I am understanding correctly that everything was building fine before you added the printf statement and adding the printf statement cuased the following errors?  If so, then there might be a slight problem in the source code itself.

By quickly glancing at your Rules.mak file, I did not see anything obviously wrong, but one thing did catch my eye.  It seems that you are installing DVSDK tree into your shared NFS file system (/home/<user>/workdir/filesys); although I so not see why this should not work, it is a bit odd.  Do you really have the right installation path?

FYI, the demos will look for the Rules.mak file in a relative path (defined by DVSDK tree), if it is not found there, the demos will default to using their own makefiles to define some of these paths (which may not be correct); make sure you do not move the Rules.mak file.

Hello,

I could well be doing this alittle backwards but I don't see any reason why it should not work. I'm compiliing the code on the PC then running the demos through the EVM. Now the demos do run this way.

As for the make, I did a full make on the PC and it seemed to work fine. then I did a individaul make in the directory an this worked fine. Just by adding a printf command even with my C should not alter much but by doing this will alert the compiler to a change in main.c and then invoke the compiler which is what it seems to have done. So my printf should not be the problem.

I have noticed quite a few issues with this.

this error is there video/davincifb_ioctl.h now one problem with this is that I have searched my PC and cannot find this header file?

I have also gone through the Rules.make and found that this directory don't exist

# Where DSP/BIOS is installed

original #BIOS_INSTALL_DIR=$(DVSDK_INSTALL_DIR)/bios_5_31_08

I found this directory and hope it's the same one on a different version BIOS_INSTALL_DIR=$(DVSDK_INSTALL_DIR)/biosutils_1_00_02/packages/

I have checked all the others to see what they do.

 

I can alter the paths in the .c code from for instance

/ti/sdo/ce/trace/gt.h

which does not work to the below which does work. But I assume this is a bad way of doing it and there must be something I've missed.

/home/tillema/workdir/filesys/opt/dvsdk_1_30_01_41/codec_engine_2_00_01/packages/ti/sdo/ce/trace/gt.h

Any suggestions? besides give up?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please note that the "davincifb_ioctl.h" file is found under the Linux Kernel tree (.../lsp/ti-davinci/include/video/davincifb_ioctl.h"

Also, bios_5_31_08 directory is the result of installing "dsp_bios_setuplinux_5_31_08_15.bin" file from the software update site (although this is not necessary for DM355).  Did you specify PLATFORM=dm355 at the top of your Rules.make? 

You should not need to change any makefiles, so long as your Rules.make and PATH variable (you can check by typing "echo $PATH") are set correctly, everything should work.  And you are correct that the installation directory should not matter, I just thought it looked a bit odd.

 

Cheers,

When you say the linux kernel tree, maybe I do not have this installed correctly on the PC or do you mean on the dm355?

My make file is now exactly what it was from the original. Although I had changed it but now it is as it was. 

dm355 was specified at the top.

I'll have a search.

The kernel tree should have been installed onto your PC as part of the getting started guide process, in particular if you went through section 4.5 'Building a New Linux Kernel' you should have it within home/user/workdir/lsp/, if you just went through the earlier installation processes it should exist within /opt/mv_pro_4.0.1/montavista/pro/devkit/lsp/ti-davinci though I would suggest making a copy of it elsewhere before doing any work on it so you do not have to do a reinstall to get back the original.

Going thru cahpter 4 of the Getting Started Guide (GSG) is key.  If you can complete the hello world program (section 4.4.1 of GSG) it will prove your PATH variable is set correctly.  If you can build the DVSDK tree (section 4.6), it means your Rules.make is set correctly.  These two sections are key to getting your build enviroment set-up correctly.
