I did not understand excuse me, I can not learn to compile and then put it into practice enigma2 box! can you give me info on how to do the cross-compiler please?

[WanWizard]

Quite a few users have used this as a guideline: http://users.telenet...npliubuntu.html.

 

I can add that we build on Ubuntu-16-04, so it is not a problem to use that as a basis. I build on Fedora 26, and that builds OpenPLi develop without problems too.

Hello, thanks for the answer,

but there is no way to do it on PC with Ubunutu, after I did the conversion with cython -a file.py compile directly from PC for sh4 and mipsel architecture?

[WanWizard]

What do you mean with "there is no way"? We cross-compile all images on x86-64 machines (PC's) with Ubuntu 16-04.

 

Obviously, if you add c or cpp files, you need to put them in the correct place, create build recipes for them, make sure they have the connect code to be able to interact with the rest. If you think that simply generating some C code from Python code would be sufficient, I'm afraid you're in for a suprise...

[mirakels]

come on, if you do n ot understand this whayare you droawning yourself into this deep water then. 

To accomplish what you wnat to learn you do not need an enigma2 box. again, just do it on your local PC.

in fact as already said I created a file.so from a normal python converted to C with cython but the result was negative because enigma2 replied "can not open the file.so"

i did with my pc local with ubuntu 16.04 version!

[WanWizard]

As said, you can't just make a binary and hope Enigma is wise enough to know how to handle it.

 

If you want a plugin written in C, you have to write one, and you have to rewrite enigma's plugin API to accomodate C plugins.

 

I think it's pretty naive to just use some automated code converter and expect things "just to work".

[hacksat]

so i'm wrong to convert .py to .c to create a file.so with cross-compiler executable on eniga2, as i'm not expert i just want to figure out how to do it

[dhwz]

Learn how to write native C Enigma2 API plugins, else just forget it.
You can't convert .py to C, you need to write the whole plugin in C then.

[WanWizard]

I am pretty sure that will not work. If only because any plugin file will import lots of other python files, which will not work from C code. You also need to interface with Enigma, as the python bindings are useless for code code. And I could go on for a while.

 

Beyond something like "Hello World", automatic source conversion is virtually useless. It will only give you a basic start for your manual conversion and integration.

Simply you can convert py module to ,so by nuitka https://github.com/kayhayen/Nuitka
I did it by myself but you have to cross compile for mipsel to run with enigma.
Typically py file to be converted should be small and nearly empty from imorting external python libraries

so there is someone in the forum that I can teach or say how to do the file.so?

I'm doing research on searches, but I still could not run the file.so in box enigma2!

[mfaraj57]

You can make so file from py in linux machine and you can make dll from py in windows pc but both will not run outside these platforms.

[hacksat]

did you file.so that works on enigam2?

[betacentauri]

Once again build an image for your box (see description above). With it you have build a cross compiler. Then try to understand how bitbake receipts work and create an own receipt or adapt one.

I'm trying to figure it out but with all these information injections I'm confusing a lot, is there no more basic element for those like me who want to understand but do not know how to do it? =)

[Persian Prince]

No offense but spending more time on your English would be better

[hacksat]

hello, I'm not offending but Google Translator could

[Erik Slagter]

You keep asking how to turn lead into gold.

[hacksat]

but you can do a file.so? if so how?
