Unfortunately we don't have support for this platform yet. You'll have
to try to build yourself.

Michael,

could you please have a look here https://pastebin.com/raw/7MgiakgJ

make failed, but maybe it is an easy fix.

I couldn't add the entire compilation log, because I copied the outpout of the compilaton process a serial console which went overnight and cleared the beginning of the compilation output.

Nevertheless the reason for the make failure is at the tail of the log, imho you will be able to point me in the right direction.

That log says:

Can't locate inc/Module/Install.pm in @INC (you may need to install the inc::Module::Install module)

Did you try that? Here's my (probably incomplete and/or outdated) list of items to be installed for the build to succeed:

- nasm
- make, gcc
- rsync
- patch
- g++
- ldconfig (libc-bin)
- zlib-dev (zlib1g-dev)
- libgd-dev
- libmodule-install-perl

I forgot to install the perl libmodule indeed. that was it.

I have tried to build a Debian package for armel with the buildme.pl script, but it does not finish.

Michael, could you please help me out?

Try with absolute paths, rather then relative ones for workdir etc.

That said: you don't need to build a .deb. Just install the regular .deb and copy your binaries to some place inside the Perl search path.

I have built a deb package successfully. Thanks for being supportive.

One thing I do not understand. the deb package has a version number

logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1516342898_arm.deb

Did I accidentally built a beta now?

I'm going to install the package now.

If you build from the 7.9 branch, then yes, you would have built whatever was committed latest. You'd have to checkout a specific commit and run the build with --release if you wanted to change this. But don't worry. 7.9.1 is as stable as 7.9.0. And comes with more improvements. I plan to release it soon.

Danke Michael!

Yep, I've built it from the 7.9 branch and it works like a charm. Thank you for your efforts and hard work.

LMS Update

hello again.

obviously Michael has provided an update for the lms which was downloaded in

/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1516565589_arm.deb

does it contain binaries for armhf only? I am on an armel machine by the way.

if I run dpkg -i /var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/updates/logitechmediaserver_7.9.1~1516565589_arm.deb would it update my self-built 7.9.1 binaries or should I build with the new updates from the repos again?

It's always a combination of architecture and Perl version. What's the
latter in your case? You can find the list of supported platforms on

So is the update someone reported an actual 7.9.1 release?

If you check above link you'll see that we indeed do not have binaries
for your platform. You'd have to build yourself. Get a copy of

https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/tree/public/7.9/CPAN

and run the buildme script.

Michael,

Would it be possible to get these Perl 5.24/Armel binaries into the Arm Debian package ? If so, what would be required to achieve this ?

The current package does include Perl 5.20/Armel binaries, which is good for Jessie (old stable). But Stretch (current stable) ships with Perl 5.24.

I run LMS on an (Armel) Sheeva Plug which runs Debian Jessie at the moment. But I am contemplating an upgrade to Stretch, and will need those binaries. Perhaps there are others in the same boat.
