Build Errors with IRServer for ARM

[kjt]

I am trying to build IRServer 6.09.04 for a Raspberry Pi (i.e. ARM v6). During the build process I see:

Code: Select all

 
  ascii.c: In function 'ASCIISendHex':
  ascii.c:263:2: warning: passing argument 1 of 'swap_word' makes pointer from
  integer without a cast [enabled by default]


I presume the above isn't important.

Code: Select all

  lowlevel.h:129:6: note: expected 'word *' but argument is of type 'word'

The above looks more critical. Does this need correction?

Code: Select all

  make: *** No rule to make target `arm/ccf.o', needed by `irserver_arm'.  Stop.

The build process is odd because there is no ccf.c. I had to build the version without CCF.

To my surprise the following fails as an ordinary user:

Code: Select all

 
  irserver USB
  Could not open IP socket


It seems I have to run this as root. Can that be right? 21000 isn't a special port.

Thanks for any advice.

Hmm, no idea why there are the type errors. We did not see them with any of our builds.

There is no ccf.c - therefore you need the no_ccf target.

On LINUX you need to run the irserver as "root" beacuse it uses other sockets and not only 21000.

Thanks for the reply.

The code of ascii.c is suspicious. Inside function ASCIISendHex, here are the key lines

Code: Select all

 
  word smask,car;

  swap_word (smask);


The swap_word function requires a pointer, so I suspect this should be:

Code: Select all

 
  swap_word (&smask);

That is correct. In the current source code we use exactly that syntax. We will check if the LINUX sourcecode on our website is current.
