PHP how to update

29,604 Views

Hello

I am working with an i.MX6 dev board.

I am using ltib to create the uboot/kernel/fs image.

My project uses the apache webserver with PHP.

I need to use json encoding functions through PHP which became enabled by default on PHP version 5.2.x.

The version that is created by ltib is 5.0.4, so it doesnt reconize the json functions.

The current spec file for PHP includes 4 patches that have something to do with the fsl, crosscompiling and zend.

I've tried copying the binaries for PHP 5.5.5 (the latest) into /opt/freescale/pkgs and reworking the spec and patch files, but the build fails, also fails if I dont include the patches.

When I try to build, i get to the PHP package, then fail at the point of checking to enable DOM support.

configure error: DOM extension requires LIBXML extension, add --enable-libxml

When i check through ltib, I find ---libxml2 is enabled by default and I cant even unselect it, so I'm not sure where I would perform this; add --enable-libxml

How to do I update this PHP package?! or do I look for a patch for json functions?

Thanks for any insight!

Scott, if you are not tied to LTIB, you can try Yocto adding this recipe

..Hmmm

I'm only tied to what works, I've never used Yocto before and I'm

relatively new to ltib, would you recommend this transition?

Yes, move it now :smileyhappy: There are some documents out there to start (check Daiane Angolini'sTasks). Let us know any trouble in the process.

Hi Leo,

I have gotten to the point of successfully building and booting

fsl-image-test,

I want to be able to add apache and php, is there anything pre-built into

yocto that I can enable to have these packages included in the build? or do

I build my own recipes?

Thanks!

Hi Scott, there is not need to implement those recipes you need. In the link I posted before, there is a search's field, just type any package you want and see in which layer is located. Then clone that layer, add it on bblayers.conf, finally add the package name to your local.conf. Actually, this last step is no so elegant, in the sense that you are modifying a global configuration file, so all images (by image here, I mean the ones on tmp/deploy/images) you bake will contain the packages you add it there. One good approach is to create a layer and inside create a NEW image (by image here I mean the .bb file) where you know it has all you want. I have create a 'demo' layer here

Thanks Leo,

Getting closer, I see in bblayers.conf where I need to add the directory

for meta-webserver, but for updating the local.conf, i'm not sure what to

add.

There are a few packages in the meta-webserver directory, do I add them all

individually using

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " "

and, where in local.conf should this be set, if it needs to be

Yes, so can do it that way (there is another variable which is more commonly used, CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL, both do the job). Once you have all packages you need, the next step is to create a new .bb image. There is an example also on the repo I sent before.

Thanks again Leo,

Just wanted to clear a couple things up,

in my sources directory, I have a directory called meta-openembedded, which

contains meta-webserver, which has a conf/layer.conf and .bb image in

meta-httpd/apache2 already. If I didn't want to create my own custom layer,

can i just add the meta-webserver directory to bblayers.conf.

Although, I have already tried this and it didn't work.

Appreciate your help.

Hi Scott.

I may have confused you. You have two options,

You can either

Add meta-webserver into your bblayers.conf file, and then modify the local.conf to add your pkgs with IMAGE_... or CORE_.... This is a quick and dirty approach which does not scale well.
Add meta-webserver AND your new layer on bblayers.conf. On your NEW layer, you can create an image like this. Then bake. For this case, you do not need to touch local.conf and any other file, except (of course) your layer and the bblayers (so bitbake knows where to look for stuff).

hi, Leo,

I'm in the same situation as Scott. I,d like to see your demo, but the link you provided is not valid now, can you provide it again, thanks.

I'll check that out,

I've been trying to massage fsl-image-test for most of my testing, things

are starting to get clearer.

I tried adding httpd and php packages by changing the

packagegroup-fsl.bbfile like this;

PROVIDES = "$"

PACKAGES += " \

$-gstreamer \ $-gstreamer-streamer \

$-tools-testapps \ $-tools-benchmark \

$-httpd \ $-php \

with this at the bottom;

RDEPENDS_$

Disabled as it has CRC problems in denzil branch
cpuburn-neon

-httpd = " \ apache2 \ " ALLOW_EMPTY_$ = "1"

ALLOW_EMPTY_$-gstreamer = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_$-tools-testapps = "1"

ALLOW_EMPTY_$-tools-benchmark = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_$-httpd = "1"

ALLOW_EMPTY_$-php = "1"

PACKAGE_ARCH = "$"

bitbake went through the build process without any errors, and my sd card

boots, but i can't find /htdocs, where would the root of the webserver be?

or am I still missing something..

Appreciate the time

Actually you are facing another problem. One thing is the recipe name and another thing what you want to install on you FS from that recipe. On the recipes (php and apache), look at the PACKAGE variable,for example http://cgit.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded/plain/meta-oe/recipes-devtools/php/php.inc so I believe what you really need to use is php-cli or php-dev. The same may also apply for apache. Also, find the working folders on tmp/work, then inside look at the packages-split folder. This is another way to figure out what each -XXX installs....

I found the recipe name to be -dev for both php and apache.

I got the apache webserver working: great

I cannot seem to add the php though. I seem to get an error when I do the

build. Can you make sense of this..

Here is my packagegroup.bb;

(the beginning)

PROVIDES = "$"

PACKAGES += " \

$-gstreamer \ $-gstreamer-streamer \

$-tools-testapps \ $-tools-benchmark \

$-httpd-dev \ $-php-dev \

(the end)

RDEPENDS_$-httpd-dev = " \ apache2 \ " RDEPENDS_$-php-dev += " \

phpmyadmin \

xdebug \

modphp \

Disabled as it has CRC problems in denzil branch
cpuburn-neon

ALLOW_EMPTY_$ = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_$-gstreamer = "1"

ALLOW_EMPTY_$-tools-testapps = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_$-tools-benchmark = "1"

ALLOW_EMPTY_$-httpd-dev = "1" ALLOW_EMPTY_$-php-dev = "1"

PACKAGE_ARCH = "$"

And part of the fsl-image-test.bb image;

IMAGE_INSTALL += " \

packagegroup-fsl-gstreamer \

packagegroup-fsl-tools-testapps \

packagegroup-fsl-tools-benchmark \

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-fsl-httpd-dev"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-fsl-php-dev"

And here is the build erros;

If I eliminate the php code from the .bb files everything builds fine and

the web server works.

Thanks for any insight

Could you try this?

bitbake -c cleansstate mariadb-native

and try again. Sometimes this little trick (clean the sstate before compiling) works when facing a compilation issue.

Also on packagegroup-fsl-php-dev, try adding packages one by one, just to narrow down the pkg giving problems this time.

Hi Leo,

This issue is still giving me grief,

Should I be using the php out of the webserver directory or the devtools

directory?

Would there be a working example of how to do a lamp install or even just a

php install using yocto?

Thanks,

Thanks Leo, tried that bitbake command, when I build again, I still get

this error;

I only appended modphp in packagegroup for install;

PROVIDES = "$"

PACKAGES += " \

$-gstreamer \ $-gstreamer-streamer \

$-tools-testapps \ $-tools-benchmark \

$-httpd-dev \ $-php-dev \

RDEPENDS_$-httpd-dev = " \ apache2 \ " RDEPENDS_$-php-dev = " \

modphp \

and for the fsl-image-test;

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-fsl-httpd-dev"

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " packagegroup-fsl-php-dev"

Do I have to have mysql installed or add it to a layer to install php?

Thanks
