Rlottie integration with IMXRT1050

RN2104 — Tue, 19 Mar 2024 05:16:51 GMT

Hello I am trying to compile the rlottie library for i.MX RT 1050 using the MCUXpresso, I want to use it along with the LVGL however I am facing some issues with compiling it like

../rlottie/src/vector/vdrawhelper.cpp:125:10: error: 'mutex' in namespace 'std' does not name a type

125 | std::mutex mMutex;

| ^~~~~

I think it it due to my current toolchain does not support the threading? If there's any way how can I add support to it? I am new to this library and also have very littel experience with MCUXpresso, I know there's precompiled library for IMXRT1050 on freeRTOS but I want to compile it by myself for bare metal.

Current C++ Version : GNU C++ 11

Hello,

The precompiled library can also be used for bare metal.

Hello @zongchunyu

Thank you for your reply I like your idea of integrating the precompiled library,but I would like to build it from the source code. for now I will use the precompiled library but if it's possible then it would be great to rebuild the library from source code.

Thanks and Regards!

Hello Rohit,

the rlottie only support meson build and cmake build. please refer to the build steps mentoned here:
https://github.com/Samsung/rlottie/blob/master/README.md

We use the cmake build mentioned in above README. I am not sure how to build rlottie using MCUXpresso.

Best Regards

If I follow the steps mentioned in the above README file it builds for the windows(as my host machine is windows) I am not sure how to build it for IMXRT and how to select it's toolchain.

Hello,

you can build the library using cross compiler. MCUXpresso has provided this cross compiler.

Hello @Zongchun appologies if I am not able to explain the problem enough but I tried cross compiling the rlottie library using the MCUXpresso cross compiler which is basically located at "D:\MCUXpressoIDE_11.9.0_2144\ide\tools\arm-none-eabi" and CMAKE build system but when I execute the "make -j 2" or simply "make" it still throws the same error :
/vector/vdrawhelper.cpp:64:34: error: 'mutex' is not a member of 'std'
64 | std::lock_guard<std::mutex> guard(mMutex);
I think it related to the toolchain, since there's protection macro "#ifdef _GLIBCXX_HAS_GTHREADS" which is preventing code from #include<mutex> getting compiled any idea how to enable it? if I explicitly enable it it results in errors related to gthreads?I think I might need to compile the library using RTOS toolchain but I am not sure if this will work out or not please suggest me anything that I might be doing wrong

Hi @RN2104

Rlottie code needs to be customized to compile.
