Compile Error with the Sample Applications on WICED-Smart-SDK-2.1.1 Running on Linux 64-bit

[Anonymous]

Hi All,

I am running into into errors while compiling the sample applications with WICED-Smart-SDK-2.1.1 immediately afterunziping and 7z'ing the SDK.   Is there a separate toolchain that I would need to download to find the missing files in the toolchain?

The following is the command which I am trying to run to build the proximity sample application:

./make proximity-BCM920737TAG_Q32 build

../../Tools/common/Linux64/perl: error while loading shared libraries: libperl.so.5.14: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Compiling spar_setup.c

Compiling proximity.c

Compiling sparinit.c

make[2]: *** No rule to make target `base'.  Stop.

make[1]: *** [../tier2/brcm/mandatory/bld//patch.symdefs] Error 2

make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

make: *** [proximity-BCM920737TAG_Q32] Error 2

Looking at how the perl binary is linked we see that indeed it is relying on the libperl shared library:

ldd  Tools/common/Linux64/perl

    linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007ffffd39c000)

    libperl.so.5.14 => not found

    libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007f253b6cb000)

    /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007f253baac000)

Looking for this shared library in the SDK didn't yield any results:

>find . -name libperl.so.5.14

>find . -name libperl.so

Looking at the files in the Toolchain in the Linux64 directory we see:

ls -la Tools/common/Linux64

total 696

If you could provide any guidance I would really appreciate it.

Thanks again.

This looks like a similar issue to one that another user ran into on the Mac.

Take a look here, third post by vik86 from the bottom: Re: Build Issue on MAC 2.1.1

Thanks!  That worked and I was able to build the application!

Just another quick question, do you know in which SDK this would be fixed?

This should be fixed within SDK 2.2, which will be released in the next day or two.
