SDK 5.04 matrix-gui_install fails

Brad Griffis

I'm using SDK 5.04 for AM37xx. When I run "make install" I get an error in matrix-gui_install. Here's the error:

=============================
Installing Matrix GUI
=============================
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/brad/ti-sdk-am37x-evm-05.04.00.00/example-applications/matrix-gui-2.0'
make[1]: Makefile.build: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.build'. Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/brad/ti-sdk-am37x-evm-05.04.00.00/example-applications/matrix-gui-2.0'
make: *** [matrix-gui_install] Error 2

If I go to that directory I see that Makefile.build does not exist. What's the proper way to install matrix-gui-2.0 into the file system? If you could just give me a Makefile.build file that contains an "install" rule with the appropriate steps that would be ideal. That way I can just put that file into the matrix-gui-2.0 directory and that should fix the error.

Brad,

This is a know issue in the release notes: http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Sitara_SDK_5.04.00_Release_Notes

There is no real need to do an install. Just copy the files.

Which files? The whole directory? Is there a place in the file system where it's expected to reside, i.e. are other scripts going to fail if I don't put it in a specific place?

Brad,

You should be able to copy everything to /usr/share/matrix-gui-2.0/

Brad,

Also, please check the recently released 05.04.01.00 SDK as this issue should be fixed there.

For now I just put in a very simple hack:

matrix-gui_install:
   @echo =============================
   @echo     Installing Matrix GUI
   @echo =============================
   @cd example-applications; cd `find . -name "*matrix-gui*"`; cp -R * $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/matrix-gui*;

Thanks.

Brad,

Only other change is that you may wand to change the find to use *matrix-gui-2.0* so that you don't get the matrix-gui-browser project by accident.

I was attempting to be version independent, though I guess that wouldn't matter because this will be fixed in future SDKs...

It was ok because matrix_browser gets installed in usr/bin. Here's a snippet from its Makefile.build:

install: release
@install -d ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin
@install matrix_browser ${DESTDIR}/usr/bin/matrix_browser; \
echo "matrix_browser release version installed."

Just FYI we have no plan to change the version number from 2.0. The reason we didn't just call this matrix-gui was to prevent confusion with original matrix.
