Installation Fails

[KH6JAG]

Dependancies Installation fails. I've tried to install using a fresh Buster image on Rpi 4, 3 and Zero.
Installation worked OK two weeks ago following the same process.

Sorry for the lack of info - I've been frustrated all day trying to do both a fresh installation and and update with a directory removal and installation. The result always fails as shown below.

That's better. Note that the error says Makefile:46: *** Did not find USB Libraries, try 'make deps'. Stop.

So make deps should fix that for you, but we can probably update the makefile to try autofix it too.

[KH6JAG]

I did try both "make deps" and "sudo make deps" without success. I did this in the allsky folder.
I have done the installation many times before without diffculty.
I still have a previous installation up and running, I won't try to update as I already lost one good installation.
Are the previous installation scripts that worked archived?
Sorry for the dumb questions but I not a programmer.

[ckuethe]

And what is the output of sudo make deps?

The lines through the text resulted after I pasted in the text into the comment space

[ckuethe]

If you put ~~~ by itself on a line before your paste, and again after the paste, it'll format as a code block. I edited your reply to add those...

[ckuethe]

Try this: edit src/Makefile, insert a tab at the beginning of lines 36-42, so it looks like this:

deps:
	ifneq ($(shell id -u), 0)
		@echo This must be ran with root permissions.
		@echo Please run \'sudo make deps\'
	else
		@echo `date +%F\ %R:%S` Installing build dependencies...
		@apt update && apt -y install libopencv-dev libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev ffmpeg gawk lftp jq imagemagick
	endif

then try sudo make deps again. Do not copy and paste the section above, you have to edit the file and insert a tab (not spaces) at the beginning of those lines.

[KH6JAG]

This is the result after the edit

pi@raspberrypi:~/allsky $ sudo make deps
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/pi/allsky/src'

[KH6JAG]

Just to be sure I did the edit correctly all I added was the tabs to make the text format indentical to your suggestion

[KH6JAG]

I've tried the install with:
only the RPiHQ camera installed
only the ASI120 installed
with both the RPIHQ installed
with no cameras installed
the same failure occurs

Rpi4 -4GB -new Buster install -on 32GB SD card

[KH6JAG]

with both RPiHQ and ASI120 installed

[ckuethe]

Yes, at this stage cameras have nothing to do with it.

I'm not sure your source tree is correct; the following worked for me (just to check that make deps worked correctly:

mkdir /tmp/foobar
cd /tmp/foobar
git clone https://github.com/thomasjacquin/allsky
cd allsky/src
make deps
sudo make deps

What happens when you do that?

cc @linuxkidd who knows more about makefiles than I do.

[KH6JAG]

This is the result - I will be away fro the PC for awhile as I need to head to the obsevatory.

[ckuethe]

Weird. Very weird. You should have got an error about needing to run make deps as root. 🤯

[ckuethe]

can you try with this patch? https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/thomasjacquin/allsky/pull/596.diff

[linuxkidd]

To be clear, you can apply the patch to your current installation of allsky (assuming it's up to date with this repo) by using the following while logged in as the pi user:

cd ~/allsky
wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/thomasjacquin/allsky/pull/596.diff
patch -p1 < 596.diff

Then, retry

sudo make deps

[linuxkidd]

Actually, the patch was just merged, so you can do the above, or you can do:

cd ~allsky
git pull

Then, retry

sudo make deps

[linuxkidd]

FYI - I have a reproducer for this and am working to figure out the issue. If you'd like to move forward without waiting for a fix, please run the following command.

sudo apt update
sudo apt -y install libopencv-dev libusb-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev ffmpeg gawk lftp jq imagemagick

After that, you can re-run the ./install.sh script and it -should- finish the installation.

Let us know how it turns out, and thanks for your patience!

[linuxkidd]

I've restructured the Makefile a bit and gotten past the sudo make deps not firing properly.

Until it's merged, you can apply the patch to your current installation of allsky (assuming it's up to date with this repo) by using the following while logged in as the pi user:

cd ~/allsky
wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/thomasjacquin/allsky/pull/596.diff
patch -p1 < 599.diff

Then, retry

./install.sh

[KH6JAG]

Thanks for the help but I'm still having difficulties.

I tried the changes proposed above but the installation failed.

I then started with a fresh Buster image and did a new install of the allsky and the GUI

Program started but no image available using RPiHQ.

I checked the config.sh file and found the following

Choose between "ZWO", "", or "auto". "auto" prefers ZWO if present.

CAMERA=" " I changed to CAMERA=”auto” saved and rebooted

Still no image

A connected a ASI-120MC-S rebooted still no image

Changed config.sh to CAMERA=”ZWO” saved and rebooted
still no image

Changed to CAMERA=”RPiHQ” saved and rebooted
Still no image

The systems hangs with the ASI120 installed but not with the RPiHQ. On one reboot wifi would not connect with ASI120 installed. Removed ASI120 – rebooted – wifi now works. Installed ASI120 – still have wifi. I have not been able to repeat the loss of wifi but the system keeps stalling with the ASI120 installed
