Building on FreeBSD 11.3 (FreeNAS jail)

[asmod3us]

Hello,

I'm trying to build from sources on FreeBSD (jail with 11.3-RELEASE-p9 on FreeNAS 11.3) based on the provided script.

1. Currently running into a challenge with configure not finding libraries:

checking for zlib... no
configure: error: Package requirements (zlib) were not met:

No package 'zlib' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables ZLIB_CFLAGS
and ZLIB_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

+ '[' '!' -f freebsd_start_11.3.sh ']'
+ echo 'Could not find FreeBSD startup script'
Could not find FreeBSD startup script
+ exit

One challenge seems to be that pkg-config is not fully working, or some libraries do not ship .pc files. For zlib it seems to work:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/libdata/pkgconfig/:/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
pkg-config zlib --cflags --libs
-lz

But for some reason they are not picked up by configure. Any ideas on that? Short of manually setting the ~50 THELIB_CFLAGS, THELIB_LIBS (based on configure --help, is there a better way to configure the build?

2. Setting ZLIB_LIBS, ZLIB_CFLAGS allowed me to move past that error and run into the next one with mxml. The pkg-config has this:

pkg-config mxml --cflags --libs
Variable 'DESTDIR' not defined in '/usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/mxml.pc'

and configure runs into that error.

$ grep DESTDIR /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/mxml.pc
prefix=${DESTDIR}/usr/local
exec_prefix=${DESTDIR}/usr/local

i think DESTDIR should be empty, as mxml is installed in /usr/local, but export DESTDIR= does not work, configure runs into the same error.

I'm not very familiar with the FreeBSD ecosystem, is anyone else able to help?

[whatdoineed2do]

Try using the following to specify locations for all:

CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lz -llxmxml" ./configure

Adjust the CFLAGS to include extra include dir locations and LDFLAGS to incl the libs. Still not great but you get to spec everythign in 2 variables instead of the ~50 THELIB_CFLAGS / THELIB_LDFLAGS

[asmod3us]

Thanks, that's a great idea! I also had to remove /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig from PKG_CONFIG_PATH.

What I use right now:

CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib -lz -lmxml -lconfuse" ./configure

On to resolve version dependency on libconfuse >= 3 now...

[asmod3us]

pkg-config insists on a package for libconfuse even with the correct linker flags already applied (see invocation of configure in last comment):

configure:16219: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libconfuse >= 3.0"
Package libconfuse was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libconfuse.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libconfuse' found
configure:16222: $? = 1
configure:16236: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "libconfuse >= 3.0"

to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

configure:16239: $? = 1
configure:16253: result: no
No package 'libconfuse' found
configure:16278: error: Package requirements (libconfuse >= 3.0) were not met:

libconfuse is installed:

[root@daapd ~/forked-daapd_build/forked-daapd]# ls -l /usr/local/lib/libconfuse.*
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  81838 May 26 11:51 /usr/local/lib/libconfuse.a
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     19 May 26 11:51 /usr/local/lib/libconfuse.so -> libconfuse.so.2.0.0
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     19 May 26 11:51 /usr/local/lib/libconfuse.so.2 -> libconfuse.so.2.0.0
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  57592 May 26 11:51 /usr/local/lib/libconfuse.so.2.0.0

The version installed via pkg or ports is 3.2.1_1.

Setting

CONFUSE_CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include"
CONFUSE_LIBS="-L/usr/local/lib -lconfuse"

works but gets me back to mxml not being found.

configure:16328: checking for mxml
configure:16335: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "mxml"
Package mxml was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `mxml.pc'

configure:16355: $? = 1
configure:16369: result: no

configure:16394: error: Package requirements (mxml) were not met:

Any ideas?

[asmod3us]

I've managed to build in the end, using the dedicated variables like PKG_LIBS. Any suggestion welcome on how to use pkg-config to build properly, i.e. without managing the lib dependencies manually.

Leaving the script here for reference. I took the existing one, removed user prompts and made some modifications to get it working in a jail.

#!/usr/bin/env bash

set -o errexit   # Exit on most errors
set -o errtrace  # Make sure any error trap is inherited
set -o nounset   # Disallow expansion of unset variables
set -o pipefail  # Use last non-zero exit code in a pipeline

Great stuff, @asmod3us I tried to run your script in a newly created jail on a FreeNAS-11.3-U3.1, however I keep getting an error:

PKG_CONFIG_PATH: unbound variable

Any instructions how to setup the jail before running the script? i.e. pkg install bash...

[asmod3us]

Yep, sorry about that - I think I fixed that last night. I'm keeping the latest version at https://github.com/asmod3us/jailman/blob/daapd/blueprints/forked_daapd/build-ffmpeg.sh and have submitted a pull request for jailmanager/jailman

[ddppddpp]

Thnx, Probably off-topic here, but I have no experience with jailman, so what should be the format of the itunes_media variable? should it be like in your readme example (/mnt/tank/media/music/itunes/) or dataset-style (tank/media/music/itunes)?

[ddppddpp]

The script results in a forked-daapd built, which is great, but there are still a few small things. I can't open issues on your jailman PR. Should I provide feedback here? i.e. on start forked-daapd tries to check for a database in the /config directory and fails, because the directory is owned by root:wheel and not the daapd user...

[asmod3us]

Let me provide a variant of the script here without jailman.

[asmod3us]

Thank you for the feedback on the jailman blueprint. I believe this is ironed out now, the database is in /config and should have proper permissions. The input to itunes_media should be a dataset, it might not work if it's a path (which happens to be my use case too). I'm still thinking about the best way to reflect that in jailman .

I have created a gist to build without jailman, just run build.sh in a fresh jail. LMK how that works for you.
