DietPi-Software | Add LMS + SqueezeLite to ARM64 (c2/pine)

[Fourdee]

Currently RPi is the only device that have these installation options available.

Worth a shot:

wget https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver/archive/public/7.9.zip -O package.zip
unzip package.zip
rm package.zip

cp -R slimserver-public-7.9/CPAN/* /usr/share/perl/5.20.2/CPAN/

Cant seem to find the perl modules in repo either: https://packages.debian.org/stable/perl/

I am also very interested in this and I have made a comment in that thread. I have made a small donation.

I recall reading something about not being able to use Perl 5.22 on the Odroid C2.

The issue:

LMS will not run due to "missing or failed" loading of Perl modules.

root@DietPi:~# squeezeboxserver
The following modules failed to load: DBI EV XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::XS Sub::Name

[Fourdee]

Notes: Attempt 1:

apt-get install missing perl modules, using this package list: https://packages.debian.org/jessie/perl/

:u6307: XML::Parser::Expat

apt-get install -y libxml-parser-perl

:u55b6: HTML::Parser | Already installed, no effect

apt-get install -y libhtml-parser-perl

:u55b6: DBI | installs, no effect

apt-get install -y libdbi-perl

:u6307: JSON::XS

apt-get install -y libjson-xs-perl 

:u55b6: Sub::Name | Installs, no effect

apt-get install -y libyaml-libyaml-perl

:u55b6: Digest::SHA1 | Installs, no effect

apt-get install -y libdigest-sha-perl

:u55b6: EV | Installs, no effect

apt-get install -y libev-perl

@Gabba35
Looking good, should make v130 release:

[Gabba35]

Thanks a lot Fourdee! Looks like you've cracked it! Seems like it wasn't too straight forward. What were the main issues (in fairly lay language!)?

[Fourdee]

@Gabba35

C2 LMS+Squeezelite working perfectly. Will be available in DietPi v130.

What were the main issues

LMS uses Perl CPAN modules. As far as I can tell, LMS do not bundle the ARM64 binaries for these in their 7.9 deb package. Notice the ARM-hf (ARM32), i386 (32bit PC), x86_64 (64bit PC) but no ARM64.

So basically I needed to get those ARM64 binaries made.

LMS have a build script that should do this automatically (https://github.com/Logitech/slimserver-vendor/blob/public/7.9/CPAN/buildme.sh), however, it fails for ARM64: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/issues/354#issuecomment-241210059

So, I ran squeezeboxserver and followed the errors to manually build each Perl CPAN module. Took a few days on and off (LMS likes specific versions of the CPAN modules). I've zipped up the binaries and hosted on DietPi. So when users install LMS through DietPi in v130, no cpan complies are needed.

[Fourdee]

Note to self:
Test Pine A64

Edit:
Working fine

[Fourdee]

Completed. LMS+Squeezelite Available in v130 for ARM64 devices.

[Gabba35]

Awesome, thanks for the explanation. Putting it all together would have been way beyond what I am capable of. Thanks so much for getting it working!

[Fourdee]

@Gabba35
We still have a bit to do on v130 before its released: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/milestone/31

In the mean time, you can do a install of LMS by using the testing branch: https://github.com/Fourdee/DietPi/blob/master/TESTING-BRANCH.md#steps-to-use-the-dietpi-testing-branch
I'd recommend using a different SDcard if you use the testing branch.
