FreeBSD / RaspBSD - Installation of dump1090 (fa or mut)

FlightAware ADS-B Flight Tracking

Has any one experience to install dump1090-mutability/dump1090-fa on FreeBSD/RaspBSD?

This morning I visited following page to download FreeBSD image for RPi
https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/freebsd/how-to-guides/installing-freebsd-for-raspberry-pi/

Was redirected to this site:
http://www.raspbsd.org/raspberrypi.html

Downloaded, unzipped,and wrote following image to microSD card
FreeBSD-armv6-12.0-RPI2-310476.img

Slipped-in the microSD card in RPi Model2, powered up, SSH and logged-in
Checked date, was some date of year 2016.
Corrected date by following command:
~ # ntpdate pool.ntp.org

Set time zone by command:
~ # tzsetup

Well, you’re going to have to set CC (probably to clang) and explicitly pass LIBS_RTL etc. Have you built stuff on FreeBSD before?

5

This is all Greek to me :confused:

Have you built stuff on FreeBSD before?

NO, NEVER.
This is first time I have installed FreeBSD, or any version of BSD. I never owned or used Mac, which I understand has an OS based on BSD.

6

There are a bunch of variables defined in the makefile (CC, LIBS_RTL, etc) that will need adjustment for your freebsd environment.

one notable thing about recent freebsd is that it’ll have clang as the default compiler, not gcc, so you’ll need to set CC=clang

7

Thanks Oliver for prompt help. Will give it a try. For me it is like sailing in unknown waters.

8

I have previous played with piaware code on FreeBSD for x86/amd64. I wasn’t able to get it fully working. There seemed to be issues in the FreeBSD USB stack that prevented it from sampling the receiver fast enough or regularly enough to function.

Some luck today - dump1090 installed and working

Noted that the command “pkg install [application_name]” has stopped working on the RaspBSD site’s “FreeBSD-armv6-12.0-RPI2-310476.img”.
Also noted RaspBSD distros have been removed (temporarily??) from RaspBSD site.
Downloaded “FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI2.img” from freebsd.org/where.html

Format microSD card, and wrote “FreeBSD-11.1-RELEASE-arm-armv6-RPI2.img”.
Slipped microSD card into RPi Model2 and powered up and SSH.

FREASH ATTEMPT TONIGHT - FAILED

FreeBSD on Oracle VM on Windows Desktop: FreeBSD-11.2-RELEASE-i386

@obj

STEP(1)

root@freebsd:~ # pkg install pkgconf
root@freebsd:~ # pkg install gcc
root@freebsd:~ # pkg install gmake

STEP (2)

root@freebsd:~ # git clone https://github.com/mutability/dump1090.git
root@freebsd:~ # cd dump1090

STEP (3)

root@freebsd:~/dump1090 # nano Makefile

Changed following two:

LIBS_RTL=pkg-config --libs librtlsdr libusb-1.0
to
LIBS_RTL=pkgconf --libs librtlsdr libusb-1.0

CC=gcc
to
CC=clang

STEP (4)

root@freebsd:~/dump1090 # gmake

clang -DMODES_DUMP1090_VERSION=\"v1.15-dev-334-g0ec2dd8\" -O2 -g -Wall -Werror -W -Wno-unknown-warning-option -Wno-format-truncation `pkg-config --cflags librtlsdr libusb-1.0`  -c dump1090.c -o dump1090.o
In file included from dump1090.c:50:
In file included from ./dump1090.h:85:
./compat/compat.h:23:11: fatal error: 'endian.h' file not found
# include <endian.h>
          ^~~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.
gmake: *** [Makefile:49: dump1090.o] Error 1

EDIT:

root@freebsd:~/dump1090 # find / -name endian.h

/usr/include/machine/endian.h
/usr/include/sys/endian.h
/usr/include/x86/endian.h
11

clang compiler include path is probably set to look for headers that don’t exist. It wants something in ./compat/… I haven’t used clang, but you might be able to fix it with with an -INCLUDE= option to clang, or a nasty symlink.

@obj

Tried one more trick.

I have dump1090-mutability on Raspbian x86 in VM. I copied its file /usr/bin/dump1090-mutability to Windows Desktop, then from there to FreeBSD on VM.

Then on FreeBSD did following

install dump1090-mutability  /usr/bin/dump1090-mutability

pkg install comms/rtl-sdr 
pkg install emulators/linux_base-c6
kldload linux
echo 'linux_enable="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
cd /usr/bin
brandelf -t Linux dump1090-mutability

After above steps, issued following command:


dump1090-mutability

Got this response:

dump1090-mutability: error while loading shared libraries: librtlsdr.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Next Tried:

pkg install librtlsdr-dev

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'librtlsdr-dev' have been found in the repositories

Then tried:

pkg install librtlsdr

Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
FreeBSD repository is up to date.
All repositories are up to date.
pkg: No packages available to install matching 'librtlsdr' have been found in the repositories

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

13

OK, so there’s no current FreeBSD package for librtlsdr. You can go old school and compile, install, and ldconfig from the sources, but the question is Why? FreeBSD leans more toward server style use, not userland rtl_sdr stuff. I’m not seeing a compelling reason to go to FreeBSD unless you enjoy that kind of thing.

14

… the joy of exploring & experimenting, like sailing in unknown waters :slight_smile:

15

OK, started Raspbaian Jessie x86 on VM and tried to find file librtlsdr.so.0

pi@raspberry:~ $ sudo find / -name librtlsdr.so.0
/usr/lib/fr24/librtlsdr.so.0
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/librtlsdr.so.0

Copied file /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/librtlsdr.so.0 from Raspbian x86 on VM to Windows Desktop, then from Windows Desktop tp FreeBSD i386 on VM in folder /usr/home/abcd then did following

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd # ls

.cshrc                  .mail_aliases           .rhosts                 librtlsdr.so.0
.login                  .mailrc                 .shrc                   stats_thread.core
.login_conf             .profile                dump1090-mutability

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd # install librtlsdr.so.0 /usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.0

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd # ls /usr/lib/librtlsdr*
/usr/lib/librtlsdr.so.0

Now gave the command

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd # dump1090-mutability

dump1090-mutability: error while loading shared libraries: libusb-1.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

:frowning: :frowning: :frowning:

.

NEXT STEP:

Copy libusb-1.0.so.0 from Raspbian x86 to FreeBSD

.

16

librtlsdr probably won’t even compile for freebsd.
i mean you can try git clone on GitHub - keenerd/rtl-sdr: RTL-SDR experimental branch
and then compile

recommend you try the process on linux first.
you can also statically link dump1090 in the compilation process if you supply the right command line arguments. that way you don’t need to install the library, you will still need it compiled though.

and copying over binaries will not work.

17

One more FAILED attempt

Copied file dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_i386.deb from Raspbian x86 on VM >> Windows Desktop >> FreeBSD_i386 on VM.

Then did following:

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd #  pkg install dpkg

root@freebsd:/usr/home/abcd # dpkg --install dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_i386.deb

dpkg: error processing archive dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_i386.deb (--install):
 package architecture (i386) does not match system (freebsd-i386)
Errors were encountered while processing:
 dump1090-mutability_1.15~dev_i386.deb
18

Finally got fed-up, and opened a thread in FreeBSD forums for help:

[pkg-request] / [port-request] dump1090-mutability for FreeBSD

Hi,
just one question.
It start workning on FreeBSD or not?
I try find this info on FreeBSD site, but I cannot find any “fresh” topic.
