install on a raspberry pi #5

epikao · 2018-12-19T16:13:36Z

Hello, I just have tried to install the virtual_touchscreen on a raspberry (raspbian), but I'm stumbling still on the first step "make". (I already have done apt-get update, and I tried sudo apt-get install raspberrypi-kernel-headers)

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.9.59-v7+/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:10: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2

OR

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ make modules M=/path/to/virtual_touchscreen/
make: *** No rule to make target 'modules'.  Stop.
pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $

EDIT:
I suppose "make" is for building kernel, so I simply tried to compile the file, but now I think I have to add the "mt.h" File? Is that correct? I don't want build the kernel or such thing (to complicated for me)

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ gcc -Wall -pthread -o virtual_touchscreen virtual_touchscreen.c
virtual_touchscreen.c:2:28: fatal error: linux/input/mt.h: No such file or directory
 #include <linux/input/mt.h>
                            ^
compilation terminated.
pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

if I add the mt.h, I get follow errors:

mt.h:31:10: error: ‘ABS_MT_LAST’ undeclared here (not in a function)
  int abs[ABS_MT_LAST - ABS_MT_FIRST + 1];
          ^~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, primary use of the supplied Makefile is to be included by Linux kernel build system.

Try manually going to prepared Linux kernel source code directory and issuing make modules M=~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master there.

I don't want build the kernel or such thing (to complicated for me)

Building the kernel is not needed, but having kernel source code (maybe not full) is required for building a kernel module, which virtual touchscreen requires.

Before trying to build and run virtual_touchscreen, you can try making and loading some other, built-in kernel module, for familiarise yourself with the process.

phuu :-( I was thinking that I can simply execute this program after compile it... but also simply compile the C-File gives error...

I don't have any expirience with load driver on linux (modprobe??) etc. For me all that driver stuff on linux looks very complicated and it will takes many time.

Maybe somebody can point me to some steps how to make virtual touchscreen work simply with raspbian.

thank you

Maybe somebody can provide a pre-built virtual_touchscreen.ko for Raspbian. But it would stay valid only until some kernel update.

Otherwise you need to install something like linux-headers-4.9.59-arm package which will bring in the kernel sources. What does apt-cache search linux-headers return for you?

Try installing raspberrypi-kernel-headers or linux-headers-4.9.0-4-rpi2 and running "make" in virtual_touchscreen's directory again.

epikao · 2018-12-20T14:45:31Z

Already tried both headers, but make always gives follow error:

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ make
make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=$PWD modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/4.9.59-v7+/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
Makefile:10: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2

vi · 2018-12-20T15:05:44Z

Try apt-file search /lib/modules/4.9.59-v7+/build. Does it find anything?

Note that you'll probably need to install apt-file itself and download its database first.

epikao · 2018-12-20T15:13:14Z

in the directory I cannot find any "build" named file.
after install apt-file, I get no results with apt-file search...:

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ apt-file search /lib/modules/4.9.59-v7+/build
pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $

vi · 2018-12-20T15:47:33Z

Where do you get the kernel from? Does DKMS work? For example, can you install and use something like v4l2loopback-dkms?

epikao · 2018-12-20T16:10:41Z

it's orginal Raspbian Image (Kernel) from the Raspberry Homepage.

I tried to install with follow result:

pi@raspberrypi:~/virtual_ctp/virtual_touchscreen-master $ sudo apt-get install v412loopback-dkms

E: Unable to locate package v412loopback-dkms

vi · 2018-12-20T16:34:37Z

What about some other -dkms package? E.g. lime-forensics-dkms?
