OLA on Linux

2012-08-21T14:44:13Z

Czingerl: /* Centos 6 / RHEL 6 / Fedora 17 */

This describes how to get [[OLA]] working on a Linux system either from the git repo or by using a [http://code.google.com/p/open-lighting/downloads/list released tarball].

=Install dependencies =

You need a couple of libraries installed for everything to work correctly. Some of these are available as packages in distros but others need to be downloaded and built manually.

First you'll need at least the following:
* cppunit
* uuid or ossp uuid
* pkg-config
* curses
* lex (or flex)
* yacc (or bison)
* the protocol buffers library [http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/ http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/] (version 2.3.0 or later)
* microhttpd [ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/ ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libmicrohttpd/] (if you want the web UI). You need version >= 0.4.0 of microhttpd

If you're building from git you'll also need the following:

* libtool
* automake
* autoconf

== Debian / Ubuntu ==

Debian/Ubuntu users can install them with apt:

sudo apt-get install libcppunit-dev libcppunit-1.12-1 uuid-dev pkg-config libncurses5-dev libtool autoconf automake g++ libmicrohttpd-dev libmicrohttpd5 protobuf-c-compiler libprotobuf-lite7 python-protobuf libprotobuf-dev zlib1g-dev bison flex make

Note: Some distributions may offer libprotobuf-lite6 instead of libprotobuf-lite7, which is an acceptable substitution.

If you're using Ubuntu 11.04 or later you can just use the command above. The versions of libprotobuf in earlier versions of Ubuntu are too old, so you'll need to install them by hand.

== Centos 6 / RHEL 6 / Fedora 17 ==

Users of rpm based distributions can install them with yum (protobuf*, libmicrohttpd* and libftdi* are in the EPEL repository):

sudo yum install flex bison protobuf protobuf-devel uuid-devel cppunit-devel protobuf-python libmicrohttpd-devel libusb-devel libftdi-devel libuuid-devel openslp-devel

(The remaining libs already come with the OS installation)

== Other Distributions ==

Install using your package manager, or build everything by hand

If you installed things by hand (rather than using your package manager), you need to run ldconfig as root to pick up the new libraries

sudo ldconfig

=Checkout or Download an Archive=

You can either download a tarball, or pull the latest version from the git repo

== Tarball ==

Download the most recent tarball from http://code.google.com/p/open-lighting/downloads/list
Extract using

tar -zxf ola-0.X.Y.tar.gz
cd ola-0.X.Y

== Git ==

If you don't have '''git''' yet, you'll need to install it with your distro's package manager. On Debian / Ubuntu run:

sudo apt-get install git

Check out the git repo with the following command:

git clone https://code.google.com/p/open-lighting/ ola
cd ola

{{ MacOLABuild }}

Finally run ldconfig so you can use the new libraries.

sudo ldconfig

=Device drivers=
Note that, for some devices, it is necessary to install drivers for OLA to work with them. For example, the [[Open DMX USB]] device needs an additional kernel module that could be built using the instuctions on [[LLA_and_Q_Light_Controller_Ubuntu_Tutorial]]. For other devices, refer to the corresponding device page on this wiki.

=Known Issues=

If you get an error like the following:

/bin/sh ./libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/opt/local/var/macports/software/protobuf-cpp/2.0.3_0/opt/local/include/ -g -O2 -c -o ltdl.lo ltdl.c
./libtool: line 464: CDPATH: command not found
/Users/simonn/lighting/lla/libltdl/libtool: line 464: CDPATH: command not found
/Users/simonn/lighting/lla/libltdl/libtool: line 1142: func_opt_split: command not found
libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.6, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from an older release.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.6
libtool: and run autoconf again.

Your system uses a different version of libtool. Run:

libtoolize --ltdl -c -f

and then start from the autoreconf step again.

If you should get the following error try to fix it with one of [http://groups.google.com/group/open-lighting/msg/72060f6327d30df6 two available solutions]:

Rpc.pb.cc: In copy constructor 'ola::rpc::RpcMessage::RpcMessage(const ola::rpc::RpcMessage&)':
Rpc.pb.cc:143: error: base class 'class google::protobuf::Message' should be explicitly initialized in the copy constructor

You should be able to prevent this by [http://groups.google.com/group/open-lighting/msg/c6d86d03dd74ed5b editing <code>./src/Makefile.am</code>], removing <code>-Werror</code> and then start from the autoreconfig step again.
