See my earlier posts. NodeJS is definitely one of the heavy hitters, if you have more CPU's than memory ( count roughly 2-3GB per core, so a 12 core machine should have at least 24 GB memory if you don't limit parallel builds ).

I make an openpli-enigma2-feed.bbappend and put it in /openpli-oe-core/meta-local/recipes-local/images

Things like nodejs and other items I don't need are removed from the build which makes things easier and faster. I usually build the image, then build the feed. Seems like an easier way of doing things for me.
 

This is what my openpli-enigma2-feed.bbappend file looks like:

If you can live with a stripped image, that works too...

 

In general, these things are not a big deal, they get built once, and since OE recipes hardly ever change, once built bitbake will not try to build them again.

 

The downside is that because of that, you miss things like missing repo's, as these aren't checked if they aren't build.

Thanks @WanWizard now i have finished building image and the feed  for the vuplus. But still having memory issue with qtwebkit and qtwebengine. Maybe you can give me correct setting parallel building for 4 core pc

Add something like

PARALLEL_MAKE:pn-qtwebkit = " -j 2"
PARALLEL_MAKE:pn-qtwebengine = " -j 2"

to your local.conf. It will limit make to 2 cores.

 

Won't help much though, if your 4-core PC only has 1GB of memory...

Hi no didn't help , still getting same error.  My system is  4core cpu , 6 gb ram and 600 gb memory.

Are the settings found and used? Check when the compile is running with "top" and "ps" what exactly is running.

A bit difficult to see without details, but that top shows 2 compile threads (so that limit seems to work), each grabbing more than 2Gb of memory.

 

Which doesn't leave much space for other things, and I can see this is not a buildserver, but used for all sorts (I see a mariadb instance for example, also requiring lots of memory, and I even see an "enigma2" running (on a linux machine you build on?)

 

6Gb is simply not enough memory, especially not with all other stuff active. Our oldest buildserver runs with 16Gb, and even then we need to limit parallelism to avoid running out of memory. Our newer buildservers all have 32Gb memory.

Im not sure why mariadb and enigma2 showing up , it could be that vps server is shared .

EIther way, I think you can forget using that for building, also because a VPS only gives you virtual CPU's,. so compiling can take ages (on my own Core i7 7700K build machine, compiling kodi already takes over 45 minutes, and that is dedicated to building OpenPLi).

[levi45@]

Thank you very much for your help and support

Please can you adapted building with Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS many thanks.

[WanWizard]

Ubuntu is a nightmare for building, as it lacks long term compatibility.  If you adapt for one version, you can't build other versions anymore.

 

What adaptations do you exactly need?

when i try to Install prerequisite packages i get this error so i think the stop using the python3-distutils.

[WanWizard]

That is one of the typical examples where Ubuntu upgrades are a nightmare.

 

Distutils is used all over OE, it is not limited to OpenPLi. But is is deprecated in Python 3.12, which is why it is missing from 24.04.

 

You could try

sudo apt install python3-setuptools

or you might want to start building from the Scarthgap branch (which will become OpenPLi 10), it uses a more recent OE and Pythlon 3.12, so it doesn't need distutils.

i have switch to the  Scarthgap but im getting this error now .

Why is it building rpm stuff?
