Configuring UDPCast fails on Raspberry Pi 4

[Mark Shelton]

I’m building a FOG Imageserver on a Raspberry P i4.
Install fails at “Configuring UDPCast”
Upon investigation of the error log file, it appears that GNU cannot guess the the build type.
Whats the best way to approach this…the error log reports that the config.guess file is from 07/02/2006.

Error log file attached.fog_error_1.5.7.log

@Mark-Shelton Good catch! I think @george1421 has installed FOG on RaspbarryPi but not sure about version 3 or 4. Anyway, should be something we can fix.

Please edit fogproject/lib/common/functions.sh in the source folder you use to install FOG. Jump to line 356 and add those two lines of code to make it look like this:

    tar xvzf "$udpcasttmp" >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1
    cd $udpcastout
    wget -qO config.guess "http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.guess"
    wget -qO config.sub "http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/config/config/config.sub"
    errorStat $?
    dots "Configuring UDPCast"
    ./configure >>$workingdir/error_logs/fog_error_${version}.log 2>&1
    errorStat $?

Save and then re-run the installer.

@Tom-Elliott I would think this change shouldn’t hurt other systems. Though it seems a bit over the top to add this in general if it’s only an issue on Raspberry Pi systems.

@Tom-Elliott I might just add a similar check to what we see here: https://github.com/rec/echomesh/blob/master/code/python/echomesh/base/Platform.py#L19

@Mark-Shelton Can you please run grep BCM2708 /proc/cpuinfo and post output here?

[Mark Shelton]

@Sebastian-Roth thank you for such a quick answer! It’s 8:44pm where I am in Australia so I’ll make the change tomorrow and see how we go.

[Mark Shelton]

@Sebastian-Roth…and will upload the result from the grep also…

[george1421]

@Sebastian-Roth Both Pi2 and Pi3. But I never used the udpcast from my FOG-Pi servers. I do have a solar powered FOG server though.

@Mark-Shelton Thanks for the information. Please let us know if compilation works fine adding the wget commands as mentioned below.

We shall add this as a bug fix soon.

[Mark Shelton]

@Sebastian-Roth I made the changes and re-ran the install. Same result unfortunately.

I have attached the error log and install log[1_1582602880272_fog_error_1.5.7.log](Uploading 100%) [0_1582602880271_foginstall.log](Uploading 100%)

[Mark Shelton]

@Sebastian-Roth fog_error_1.5.7.log foginstall.log

[Sebastian Roth]

@Mark-Shelton Thanks for testing and letting us know. It’s not quite the same result really. The new timestamp is 2008-01-23 this time.

Though it turns out those links have changed as well. Please try changing the wget calls and just to make sure also add the chmod call - then re-run the installer.

wget -qO config.guess "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.guess"
wget -qO config.sub "https://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=config.git;a=blob_plain;f=config.sub"
chmod +x config.guess config.sub

[Mark Shelton]

@Sebastian-Roth that worked. Thanks very much.

[Sebastian Roth]

@Mark-Shelton Great, thanks for the feedback. I just added a fix to the code.
