But those are x86_64 (or amd64) versions, not i386, which implies 32bit versions. I don't build 32bit versions... Not sure why anyone would be running 32bit linux, today, to be honest, so I only build 64bit versions.

[stanger89]

I guess I just read i386 as PC/Intel not specifically x86 32.

sudo apt-get install gcc-4.7
cd <build dir>
CC=gcc-4.7 ./buildall.sh

Haven't tried running it yet tho:-)

Cool. Just ran this and it worked great!

If you don't plan on using the newer gcc you can put CC=gcc-4.7 in /etc/environment and don't have to worry about setting CC every time you want to do a build.

I ran the new server code last night. I added a couple of minor plugins only, so this is pretty much the server out-of-the-box only. It was stable enough for me to successfully check Music, Videos, Photos and watch TV for several hours. The only issue I hit was that none (? still checking) of my videos, in various containers and formats, allowed my to ff/rew, jump or change chapters. The OSD time bar indicator immediately jumps to the far right and shows zero time remaining and used. The ff, rew, 4 skip buttons and chapter buttons (on hd-200 remote and equivalents under placeshifter) all cause the video to jump back to the start. Not sure what's going on there.

For the record I'm currently trialling SageTV running under Tiny Core Linux. The trial I just did with the OS SageTV code is running under Tiny Core. It's lean and fast. Less than 18MB for the base operating system and 180MB for supporting packages.

Also, stuckless, I'm trying to get the Wiki up and running on the sagetv github pages. Are you OK if I steal your build details from this thread and put them into the Wiki? Cheers

Thanks for the tip. Its only a VM which I'm using just to build SageTV so setting it permanently in /etc/environment is probably a good idea.

My server is a 4-core Atom system that is only 32-bit. I'm currently trying to move SageTV and other services (btsync amongst others) from Ubuntu on this platform to Tiny Core Linux. I'm having some success, although Tiny Core Linux takes a bit of getting used to.

Absolutely. Feel free to take anything I've posted and add it to the wiki.

Ok I'm scratching my head on this. When building in Linux Mint and it get to building the shared libraries I get a fatal error, jni.h not found. Here is all of what I went through:

I'm just trying sage v 9 out since I can't seem to get the build right on windows. I don't know what I am doing wrong there either. but right now I wanna concentrate on this.
So what am I doing wrong here.

[stuckless]

Java you set JAVA_HOME and JAVA_ARCH?

You can look at the docker file that I use when building sagetv to get an idea of libraries and environment, etc.

https://github.com/stuckless/sagetv-...r/sagetv-build

EDIT: looks like you are setting it... but /bobby/lib/ doesn't seem right to me. Does that location actually exist?

[vanchie21]

Hello struckless,
I hope it does but maybe your right and it doesn't exsits. maybe go and create it then set it to home?

[stuckless]

Normally, on linux, Java is normall installed under /usr/lib/jvm/

To be honest, the best bet for rebuilding sagetv from sources is to use the Docker image, or use the Vagrant image... Those images have the required dependendies and correct version of gcc, etc.

Also, if you just looking for a newer release, I can build it publish it. I tend to the building, but I only rebuilt it when someone asks, since I don't monitor the changes going into the core very often.

I'm just trying sage v 9 out since I can't seem to get the build right on windows. I don't know what I am doing wrong there either. but right now I wanna concentrate on this.
So what am I doing wrong here.

jni.h should be in $JAVA_HOME/include, so in your case, /bobby/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle/include. That directory is specified with the '-I' switch in your build output, so that looks OK.

What seems odd in your output is that you run
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
to add the repository for the Oracle java download, which runs OK, then

sudo apt-get update
to tell the system to update its repository cache, which also runs OK, but then you don't run
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer
which performs the actual java installation.

I'm guessing you are actually running another java which is already installed but then you're telling the build (via JAVA_HOME) that it needs to look in a different place for the include files.

Did you forget to run
sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer
?

If so, run clean.sh from the build directory, to start the build from scratch. Run sudo apt-get install -y oracle-java8-installer. Run update-alternatives --config java and make sure that ..../java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java is selected. Then start the build process again from the export JAVA_HOME..... point.

What does
which java
say?

What does
update-alternatives --config java
say?

[vanchie21]

Ok I'm going to try to do that, start over seems to be the best thing to do in this case. thanks

[vanchie21]

Well tried to install again, and did the things that were suggested,and still no luck. However I did have luck updating the ones on my windows version, but still I would like to try it on linux. I don't see what is wrong but apparently something is so here is what I am doing.

Like the last time... you are setting the JDK_HOME to an incorrect directory Keep in mind this is not just a randomly made up place, but, the JDK (java development kit) has to exist here. And it cannot be just a JRE (java runtime) it must be the JDK.

Your Java Home is

export JDK_HOME=/user.lib.jvm.java-8-oracle/jre/bin/java

Which is a non-existent directory and set to what appears to be a file.

After you set JDK_HOME, you an test it... if after you set JDK_HOME issue the command...

ls -al $JDK_HOME

if you see, "No such file or directory", then it's not set correctly If you see a single file returned it's not set correctly. (repeat until it is set correctly)

Based on what you are showing, I would think that your JDK_HOME should be

export JDK_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/

I think I've said before... the easiest way to rebuild all the binaries in sagetv is to use the docker container or the vagrant image. Both of these are setup with the correct version of linux and dependencies.

EDIT: Have you read the first post, under the section Configuring Ubuntu? It has the steps for installing java, and setting the JDK_HOME.

[vanchie21]

well I thought I was following that guide but I guess I may not be. I am running linux mint 18 cinnamon

ok well it seems that I left out a step somewhere or misspelled something but it looks like it is installing now, more than likely I was misspelling the pathway as you stated.
