Build errors for dynamic module on Ubuntu 20.04 on Raspeberry Pi 4 ARM.

Danrancan opened this issue 5 months ago · comments

I am trying to build the Brotli modules on Ubuntu 20.04 on a Raspberry Pi 4. I tried building with the master and the RC1, but em encountering the same errors. Below is the error I am encountering:

sudo make modules
make -f objs/Makefile modules

What can I do to make this work on a raspberry pi 4 running ubuntu 20.04 server?

Document's a little bit confused. You need to build dependencies first.

git clone --recurse-submodules -j8 https://github.com/google/ngx_brotli
cd ngx_brotli/deps/brotli
mkdir out && cd out
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -m64 -march=native -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -m64 -march=native -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
cmake --build . --config Release --target brotlienc
cd ../../../..

after that, you will have brotlienc & brotlicommon

Then continue to compile statically or dynamically based on your need

Static

$ cd nginx-1.x.x
$ export CFLAGS="-m64 -march=native -mtune=native -Ofast -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections"
$ export LDFLAGS="-m64 -Wl,-s -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,--gc-sections"
$ ./configure --add-module=/path/to/ngx_brotli
$ make && make install

Dynamic load

$ cd nginx-1.x.x
$ ./configure --with-compat --add-dynamic-module=/path/to/ngx_brotli
$ make modules

I'm getting compile errors. Looks like -m64 is an invalid option. Any advice?

Okay, I tried now with the -march=armv8-a option, and deleted the -m64 options since I believe cmake automatically includes the -my 64 option since I'm running an arm64 OS. Here is the output, which still gives a warning:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..

Looks like the command works, but should I be worried about this warning? Do I need the manually specified variables? What can I do here?

NEXT: I tried with the following command:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=native -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..

CMake Warning:

This shows two errors/warnings:

-- Performing Test BROTLI_EMSCRIPTEN - Failed
Q: How do I get BROTLI EMSCRIPTEN to work?
Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS

NEXT I tried the following command (notice I changed -mtune to -mtune=armv8-a):

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=armv8-a -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=armv8-a -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..

CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

-- Build files have been written to: /usr/local/src/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/out

Which DID NOT show EMSCRIPTION errors, but DID show "Manually-specified variables were not used by the project: CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS".

NEXT, I tried the same command again, to yield different results:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=armv8-a -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=armv8-a -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..

NEXT I MADE changes to -mtune (-mtune=cortex-a72) and tried the following command:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a72 -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a72 -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..

CMake Warning:
  Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:

    CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS

-- Build files have been written to: /usr/local/src/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/out

THEN, I tried the exact same command a second time which yielded different results:

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFF -DCMAKE_C_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a72 -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Ofast -march=armv8-a -mtune=cortex-a72 -flto -funroll-loops -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections -Wl,--gc-sections" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./installed ..
-- Build type is 'Release'
-- Compiler is not EMSCRIPTEN
-- Configuring done
-- Generating done
-- Build files have been written to: /usr/local/src/ngx_brotli/deps/brotli/out

As you can see, running the cmake command twice with the -mtune=coretx-a72 and -march=armv8-a options, yields results without any problems except that "Compiler is not EMSCRIPTEN". So I am going with using this last command twice and proceeding hoping that this is the right way of doing things.

I must ask:

Can you verify that this last command is correct?
And why must I issue the last command twice for it to pick up and read the manually specified variables?
How can I get the compiler to be "EMSCRIPTEN", and what are the benefits of doing so?
Is that right or...?

Finally:

after that, you will have brotlienc & brotlicommon
The only thing I see in ngx_brotli/deps/ folder is the brotli folder i.e. ngx_brotli/deps/brotli. I do not see a ngx_brotli/deps/brotlicommon folder.

Where should brotlicommon be located?

Thanks!

Any word from the dev's on if I am doing this correctly or not? Let me know.

I'm not qualified to answer your question. However, I encountered the exact same issue with Nginx 1.26.0 running on Ubuntu 20.04 with an ARM processor (Ampere). Following your route, I decided to compile Brotli with fewer flags as specified in the official repo README. After doing so, I was able to successfully compile Nginx with dynamic modules. I tested the setup, and everything worked just fine, so I called it a day. I guess/hope that if you're compiling for the same architecture and OS, the compiler is smart enough to come up with a decent configuration on its own.
