telldus-core on Ubuntu 16.10

Post by hlund »

Hi,

I've upgraded my server to Ubuntu 16.10 and now I can't get the package telldus-core to install.

The package (.deb file) depends on libconfuse0 which is not available on 16.10. The Ubuntu team has upgraded to libconfuse1 (v3.0)

I have tried to build telldus-core from source, but it won't compile on ubuntu 16.10 due to several errors during compilation.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
Hlund

I have same problem.

My solution for now has been to move everything to another system with debian.

Still want a solution to the original problem.

Unfortenately it looks like Telldus abandoned telldus-core years ago... :(

It would be nice if one could get telldus-core to compile with a newer compiler and the new libs on linux (ubuntu 16.10)

I have now solved the problem by compliling telldus-core 2.1.2 from source.

I installed libconfuse1 from the ubuntu package repos (telldus package depends on libconfuse0 that is not present in ubuntu repos anymore)

After unpacking the telldus-core source I completed CmakeLists.txt with the following lines

Code: Select all

SET(FORCE_COMPILE_FROM_TRUNK TRUE)
SET(GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS "-Wno-narrowing")
SET(GCC_COVERAGE_LINK_FLAGS "-pthread -lpthread")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS}")
SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} ${GCC_COVERAGE_LINK_FLAGS}")
After these changes I was able to compile the source and install it!

Hi hlund!

I tried your "hack", but I get all kinds of errors. First in the cmake:

That one I solved by touch Doxyfile.in after reading somewhere that it could be done that way, after that Cmake went fine.

Did find the real Doxyfile.in on git https://raw.githubusercontent.com/telld ... oxyfile.in
So this is solved...

Next is a wnarrowing error....

Code: Select all

                           ^
I tried removing the ProtocollIkea.cpp and .h, I dont use them, but then it throw the same errror on another protocoll...

I'm on Xubuntu 16.10, downloaded every -dev and lib packege I can think of after looking on different how-tos when I have googled some of the errors I've got...

I'm no programer and only have some idea of how things work... I can type cmake and make :P

Do you have any clue what I might be doing wrong?

Have I added your lines in the wrong place (I added them last) in CMakeLists.txt.

Doxygen isn't needed to compile.

What I have problems with is that pthread_create isn't found.

I have added in end of telldus-core-2.1.2/CMakeList.txt
SET(FORCE_COMPILE_FROM_TRUNK TRUE) etc from above.

It looks like you have spelled something wrong, as there are a "-Wno-narrowing" in the CMakeList.txt, but you compile with "-Wnarrowing"

Have you included the flag "-lpthread" in the command line to the compiler?

EDIT: A ) to much. Works when editing CMakeLines.txt in telldus-core-1.2.1/{tdtools,tdadmin}.

Hmm, it doesn't look like build of tdtool add those from telldus-core-1.2.1/CMakeLines.txt when linking and compile.

Downloaded with
$ apt-get source telldus-core

Added to end of telldus-core-2.1.2/tdtools/CMakeLines.txt after
INSTALL(TARGETS tdtool RUNTIME DESTINATION bin)

SET(FORCE_COMPILE_FROM_TRUNK TRUE)
SET(GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS "-Wno-narrowing")
SET(GCC_COVERAGE_LINK_FLAGS "-pthread -lpthread")
SET(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} ${GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS}")
SET(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "${CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS} ${GCC_COVERAGE_LINK_FLAGS}")

Compiling
EDIT: works when removed the typo.
$ apt-get --compile source telldus-core

I got lots of linkage error though...

is this a working solution for ubuntu 16.04/10 ?

edit:
got it to compile on my ubuntu 16.04 server, but i get those errors in dmesg when trying to send --off command with tdtool:
usbfs: USBDEVFS_CONTROL failed cmd telldusd rqt 128 rq 6 len 255 ret -110


anyone got a solution for this ?

You could always run telldusd in a docker container with an older ubuntu as base image.

(This was on a RaspberryPi/arm, but I expect it still applies): The fastest way (which at least seems to work for me) was:
  1. apt-get download telldus-core
  2. dpkg --ignore-depends=libconfuse0 -i telldus-core_2.1.2-1_armhf.deb
I also found the location of the currently installed libconfuse library (dpkg -L libconfuse1) - this should be somewhere under /usr/lib/... , I then changed to that folder and created a symlink to libconfuse.so.1:
  • ln -s libconfuse.so.1 libconfuse.so.0
(I think this might be necessary / a good idea):
I finally opened "/var/lib/dpkg/status", found the section "Package: telldus-core", and edited the libconfuse part of the "Depends:" line so that it now depends on "libconfuse1 (>=3.0)" instead of the old "libconfuse0 (>=2.5)" and then ran the following to fix the broken dependency:
  • apt-get -f install
Seems to work well for me, without recompiling or anything like that... :D

Thanks for the suggestion, but I gave up on this.

It is bad that the software are not upgraded to a later version. It doesn't look like Telldus want to do that, so the question if it has been forked. Has anyone seen something for that?
