Hi,

Using a clean rp3 Buster install, the Manual's Installation guide for Debian Buster was used to install the apt sources and libmbed*.deb packages.  The library installation required apt --fix-broken install  to complete:

Code:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install dialog

You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 libmbedtls12 : Depends: libmbedx509-0 (>= 2.14) but 2.6.0-1 is to be installed
E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

The build fails on #include <luajit-2.0/lua.h> yet the library seems to be installed OK.  Any suggestions?

I don't know. It should work like this.

Code:

~ # dpkg --get-selections | grep lua
libluajit-5.1-2:armhf                           install
libluajit-5.1-common                            install
libluajit-5.1-dev:armhf                         install
luajit                                          install

[Nikau]

Thanks, I have a close library match.  liblua5.2-dev:armhf and lua5.1 are additional.

Code:

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/pilight# dpkg --get-selections | grep lua
liblua5.2-0:armhf                install
liblua5.2-dev:armhf                install
libluajit-5.1-2:armhf                install
libluajit-5.1-common                install
libluajit-5.1-dev:armhf                install
lua5.1                        install
luajit                        install

[Nikau]

Thanks, issue resolved 

Compilation completes when the #includes revision number within pilight/libs/pilight/lua_c/lua.h is changed from luajit-2.0 to luajit-2.1

Code:

#include <luajit-2.1/lua.h>
#include <luajit-2.1/lualib.h>
#include <luajit-2.1/lauxlib.h>

[curlymo]

Good catch!

[VrahoK]

The include version number issue (luajit-2.0 vs luajit-2.1) is still broken on the staging branch. Are there any plans to get this fixed?

[curlymo]

No, because that would imply me having to change my whole compilation procedure for just a cosmetic fix. If you are manually compiling you ought to know what you are doing. If you can implemented an autodetect feature, i'm very willing to implement it.

[VrahoK]

Maybe you could at least add a comment in the installation section on the website as probably every user of Buster wanting to build from source will stumble upon this. It looks like this can't be automatically resolved by giving libluajit-5.1-dev a specific version as there is only one available and that already has the changed library paths:

Code:

root@switchbox:/home/pi/pilight# apt policy libluajit-5.1-dev
libluajit-5.1-dev:
 Installed: 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5.1
 Candidate: 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5.1
 Version table:
*** 2.1.0~beta3+dfsg-5.1 500
       500 http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian buster/main armhf Packages
       100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

I'll try and look into something automated as it would be great to have also build from source work out of the box. Btw: I'm not sure if it would be an option to leave out the library path completely and just include the headers by filename. I have seen that as suggestion for other projects dealing with the same issue as well.

[curlymo]

The manual already states:

We try to provide as many options as possible for you to keep up-to-date with the latest developments. Compiling C software requires some level of expertise, which we cannot and will not provide. This means that no support is given if any issues occur with manually compiling pilight.

And because it's not a high priority for me, i will leave it as is at the moment.

If some user can provide me with a proper fix, i will of course apply it.

Ran into this issue too on Rapbian Buster (Lite). Managed to work around it with:

Code:

sudo ln -s /usr/include/luajit-2.1 /usr/include/luajit-2.0

It's not a fix though. Leaving this here for people that need it.
