Problems building Bit Blit

DThomas

I'm walking through the Bitblit User's Guide and I'm running into problems with the build. I get the following error message:

linux/framebuffer.c:57:29: error: video/omapfbdev.h: No such file or directory
linux/framebuffer.c: In function 'FRAMEBUFFER_flip':
linux/framebuffer.c:251: error: 'FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC' undeclared (first use in this function)
linux/framebuffer.c:251: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
linux/framebuffer.c:251: error: for each function it appears in.)
linux/framebuffer.c: In function 'FRAMEBUFFER_waitForVsync':
linux/framebuffer.c:279: error: 'FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC' undeclared (first use in this function)
make[1]: *** [linux/framebuffer.evm3530.ov5T] Error 1

To test my system, I followed the OMAP35x DVEVM Getting Started Guide and rebuilt U-boot, Linux Kernel, and DVSDK Software for the target. Each was successful.

I'm new to Linux, so I'm not sure how to figure out the build problem. Thanks!

P.S. I'm using Bitblit 1.00.00 Build 00 on Ubuntu 9.10. I should meet all of the minimum versions on the dependencies, but in many cases I have a newer version.

Hello,

This error seems like you're using an earlier kernel version. Bitblit 1.00 doesn't work with the latest SDK/DVSDK, but trunk does. You can see the bug report on this as well as the fix revision at https://gforge.ti.com/gf/project/bitblit/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=846. You can either revert to earlier components (check the release notes in bitblit 1.00) or try the trunk version with your current tools.

Regards,

Katie

I started wondering about the version (1.00.00) after I posted it. To be honest, I can't remember how I downloaded Bitblit, but it wasn't through SVN. I'm now trying to get TAG_012010, but for some reason the server does not like my username and password.

Thanks for your help.

Try downloading anonymously on the gforge. If you still have issues with this, please post back and we can look into it.

Not sure if this will work or not, but try replacing FBIO_WAITFORVSYNC with OMAPFB_WAIT_FOR_VSYNC.

I believe that this is new new IOCTL name.

Just a thought.

BR,

Steve

Logging in anonymously worked, thanks. The build also worked.

Now I just have to figure out how to use it. The loadmodules.sh script threw some errors (error inserting 'filename': -1 File exists) and all I get out of the demo is "-->Copy test started".

Like I said in the first post, I'm new to this. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong.

Looks like it did work. Apparently some of the modules were already loaded.
