I am attempting to write a check in my Cake build script to pull in a file from BuildParameters and check if the file contents are empty -- if contents are empty, throw an exception and quit the build.
I am attempting to use FileReadText from the FileHelpers namespace but for some reason I cannot get my build to recognize the file command. I am following the syntax and documentation found here: https://cakebuild.net/api/Cake.FileHelpers/FileHelperAliases/97F5679A
Here is the code I am trying in build.cake:
var fileReadText= FileReadText(Parameters.TestParameters.TestListFP);
var fileText= fileReadText.ThrowIfNullOrEmpty(nameof(fileReadText));
The argument Parameters.TestParameters.TestListFP is set in my Parameters.cake file as such:
TestListFP = context.File("C:\Some\Path\some_file_name.txt");
Using the above code, I see this error:
error CS0103: The name 'FileReadText' does not exist in the current
context
Note that I do not have a ICakeContext in build.cake, just BuildParameters.
I tried to resolve the issue by adding using Cake.FileHelpers; at the top of my build.cake file, but then I see this error:
The type or namespace name 'FileHelpers' does not exist in the namespace 'Cake' (are you missing an assembly reference?)
The script works fine without my FileReadText code, so I know TestListFP is actually a valid file.
I think I am inherently misunderstanding how to use FileHelpers and FileReadText and I could not find any examples of usage in documentation or anywhere else. If anyone has guidance on how to use this method, or a better way to accomplish what I am trying to do, I would appreciate the help.
Have you added the #addin pre-processor directive, as mentioned here:
https://github.com/cake-contrib/Cake.FileHelpers/#cakefilehelpers
You can easily reference Cake.FileHelpers directly in your build script via a cake addin:
#addin "Cake.FileHelpers"
My cmake script is as follows:
FIND_PACKAGE(Matlab REQUIRED)
GET_FILENAME_COMPONENT(Matlab_BIN_DIRS ${Matlab_LIBRARIES} PATH)
SET(Matlab_LIBS "${Matlab_BIN_DIRS}/libmat.so ${Matlab_BIN_DIRS}/libmx.so")
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${Matlab_INCLUDE_DIRS})
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myAPP ${Matlab_LIBRARIES} ${Matlab_LIBS})
following error information was printed when I built my projects.
:-1: error: No rule to make target '/usr/local/MATLAB/R2015b/bin/glnxa64/libmat.so /usr/local/MATLAB/R2015b/bin/glnxa64/libmx.so', needed by 'cimgio'. Stop.
But it worked after modifying the last line as
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(myAPP ${Matlab_LIBRARIES} libmat.so libmx.so)
why full paths does not work here?
In the book "Embedded Linux Systems with the Yocto Project", Chapter 4 contains a sample called "HelloWorld - BitBake style". I encountered a bunch of problems trying to get the old example working against the "Sumo" release 2.5.
If you're like me, the first error you encountered following the book's instructions was that you copied across bitbake.conf and got:
ERROR: ParseError at /tmp/bbhello/conf/bitbake.conf:749: Could not include required file conf/abi_version.conf
And after copying over abi_version.conf as well, you kept finding more and more cross-connected files that needed to be moved, and then some relative-path errors after that... Is there a better way?
Here's a series of steps which can allow you to bitbake nano based on the book's instructions.
Unless otherwise specified, these samples and instructions are all based on the online copy of the book's code-samples. While convenient for copy-pasting, the online resource is not totally consistent with the printed copy, and contains at least one extra bug.
Initial workspace setup
This guide assumes that you're working with Yocto release 2.5 ("sumo"), installed into /tmp/poky, and that the build environment will go into /tmp/bbhello. If you don't the Poky tools+libraries already, the easiest way is to clone it with:
$ git clone -b sumo git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git /tmp/poky
Then you can initialize the workspace with:
$ source /tmp/poky/oe-init-build-env /tmp/bbhello/
If you start a new terminal window, you'll need to repeat the previous command which will get get your shell environment set up again, but it should not replace any of the files created inside the workspace from the first time.
Wiring up the defaults
The oe-init-build-env script should have just created these files for you:
bbhello/conf/local.conf
bbhello/conf/templateconf.cfg
bbhello/conf/bblayers.conf
Keep these, they supersede some of the book-instructions, meaning that you should not create or have the files:
bbhello/classes/base.bbclass
bbhello/conf/bitbake.conf
Similarly, do not overwrite bbhello/conf/bblayers.conf with the book's sample. Instead, edit it to add a single line pointing to your own meta-hello folder, ex:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
${TOPDIR}/meta-hello \
/tmp/poky/meta \
/tmp/poky/meta-poky \
/tmp/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \
"
Creating the layer and recipe
Go ahead and create the following files from the book-samples:
meta-hello/conf/layer.conf
meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
We'll edit these files gradually as we hit errors.
Can't find recipe error
The error:
ERROR: BBFILE_PATTERN_hello not defined
It is caused by the book-website's bbhello/meta-hello/conf/layer.conf being internally inconsistent. It uses the collection-name "hello" but on the next two lines uses _test suffixes. Just change them to _hello to match:
# Set layer search pattern and priority
BBFILE_COLLECTIONS += "hello"
BBFILE_PATTERN_hello := "^${LAYERDIR}/"
BBFILE_PRIORITY_hello = "5"
Interestingly, this error is not present in the printed copy of the book.
No license error
The error:
ERROR: /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb: This recipe does not have the LICENSE field set (nano)
ERROR: Failed to parse recipe: /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
Can be fixed by adding a license setting with one of the values that bitbake recognizes. In this case, add a line onto nano.bb of:
LICENSE="GPLv3"
Recipe parse error
ERROR: ExpansionError during parsing /tmp/bbhello/meta-hello/recipes-editor/nano/nano.bb
[...]
bb.data_smart.ExpansionError: Failure expanding variable PV_MAJOR, expression was ${#bb.data.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[0]} which triggered exception AttributeError: module 'bb.data' has no attribute 'getVar'
This is fixed by updating the special python commands being used in the recipe, because #bb.data was deprecated and is now removed. Instead, replace it with #d, ex:
PV_MAJOR = "${#d.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[0]}"
PV_MINOR = "${#d.getVar('PV',d,1).split('.')[1]}"
License checksum failure
ERROR: nano-2.2.6-r0 do_populate_lic: QA Issue: nano: Recipe file fetches files and does not have license file information (LIC_FILES_CHKSUM) [license-checksum]
This can be fixed by adding a directive to the recipe telling it what license-info-containing file to grab, and what checksum we expect it to have.
We can follow the way the recipe generates the SRC_URI, and modify it slightly to point at the COPYING file in the same web-directory. Add this line to nano.bb:
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "${SITE}/v${PV_MAJOR}.${PV_MINOR}/COPYING;md5=f27defe1e96c2e1ecd4e0c9be8967949"
The MD5 checksum in this case came from manually downloading and inspecting the matching file.
Done!
Now bitbake nano ought to work, and when it is complete you should see it built nano:
/tmp/bbhello $ find ./tmp/deploy/ -name "*nano*.rpm*"
./tmp/deploy/rpm/i586/nano-dbg-2.2.6-r0.i586.rpm
./tmp/deploy/rpm/i586/nano-dev-2.2.6-r0.i586.rpm
I have recently worked on that hands-on hello world project. As far as I am concerned, I think that the source code in the book contains some bugs. Below there is a list of suggested fixes:
Inheriting native class
In fact, when you build with bitbake that you got from poky, it builds only for the target, unless you mention in your recipe that you are building for the host machine (native). You can do the latter by adding this line at the end of your recipe:
inherit native
Adding license information
It is worth mentioning that the variable LICENSE is important to be set in any recipe, otherwise bitbake rises an error. In our case, we try to build the version 2.2.6 of the nano editor, its current license is GPLv3, hence it should be mentioned as follow:
LICENSE = "GPLv3"
Using os.system calls
As the book states, you cannot dereference metadata directly from a python function. Which means it is mandatory to access metadata through the d dictionary. Bellow, there is a suggestion for the do_unpack python function, you can use its concept to code the next tasks (do_configure, do_compile):
python do_unpack() {
workdir = d.getVar("WORKDIR", True)
dl_dir = d.getVar("DL_DIR", True)
p = d.getVar("P", True)
tarball_name = os.path.join(dl_dir, p+".tar.gz")
bb.plain("Unpacking tarball")
os.system("tar -x -C " + workdir + " -f " + tarball_name)
bb.plain("tarball unpacked successfully")
}
Launching the nano editor
After successfully building your nano editor package, you can find your nano executable in the following directory in case you are using Ubuntu (arch x86_64):
./tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nano/2.2.6-r0/src/nano
Should you have any comments or questions, Don't hesitate !
I am new to S-Functions and Real TIme WorkShop. The S-Function has been created using an Embedded Matlab Function. The S-Function Works fine, but when i try to build the same, i get the following error report:
It appears that the build process was unable to locate some utility (e.g. make, compiler, linker, etc.). Please verify your path and tool environment variables are correct. You should be able to execute the make command: .\Radius_S_func2.bat at an MS DOS Command Prompt in the directory: C:\Users\skaushik\Desktop\Matlab Models\WIP\TESTs\Sfunc_2\Radius_S_func2_Source Currently, this generates the following error:

PLease guide me how to understand the error, so i can take care of it myself.
Thank you!!
Solution: The build target was not specified therefore matlab gave the above mentioned error. To resolve this one should specify the build environment for a specific target.
I installed moodle 1.9.12 and now I want to use Algebra notation in content. I enable "TeX Notation" and "Algebra Notation" in administrator panel and also install mimetext and dvips and Imagemagic on the server. fortunately Tex Notation works fine but I got the following error for Algebra:
sh: /var/www/html/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux: not found
The shell command
"/var/www/html/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux" -e "/var/www/moodledata/filter/algebra/de06d6c44d98ba4e42dffca988bf530b.gif" -- '\Large \frac{\sin\left(z\right)}{x^{2}+y^{2}}'
returned status = 127
File size of mimetex executable /var/www/html/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux is 830675
The file permissions are: 100775
The md5 checksum of the file is 56bcc40de905ce92ebd7b083c76e019e
Image not found!
Note: /var/www/html/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux exists on the server and is executable!!!
What is the problem?? Any idea?????
From what you have described, calling the general tex filter debug page works and does not show up the same error.
/filter/tex/texdebug.php works, but /filter/algebra/algebradebug.php does not.
If this is the case, perhaps you could check for an open_basedir, or safe_mode_exec_dir being set to include the current working directory, or otherwise restricting the execution of /var/www/html/moodle/filter/tex/mimetex.linux, while the current working directory is /var/www/html/moodle/filter/algebra.
You could look at this by visiting /admin/phpinfo.php at your site, and look carefully at the effective values of open_basedir, safe_mode and safe_mode_exec_dir.
You could also check the apache error log or add the following lines to the top of the algebra debug php file, and you might see some extra error messages:
$CFG->debug = 6143 ;
$CFG->debugdisplay= 1 ;
Hope that helps
