Starter to building webrtc on FreeBSD

Retired from the forums
For reason that this project will be a continuing effort, I have decided to include the information and processes known to me to this date.

Set $PATH to include /usr/local/bin/python
Code: 
 export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/python
Download depot_tools from Google:: Instructions: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/depottools
Add depot_tools to PATH with
Code: 
export PATH=$PATH:/home/$USER/depot_tools
Download brltty:: http://mielke.cc/brltty/

You will need to do the following with brltty:
  • A visual editor such as SciTE must be ran as root - i.e su to root - for reason you will be editing files in /usr/local/include/unicode.
  • The command of
    Code: 
     ./configure --prefix=/usr/local && gmake
    must be ran after each instance of editing the unicode variables.

    Download webrtc from Google: http://www.webrtc.org/reference/getting-started
    You will need to create a directory for the version of FreeBSD that you are using.
    Code: 
     mkdir webrtc/trunk/build/$FReeBSD_version_number
    It should look like webrtc/trunk/build/freebsd10 or such.
    The files in webrtc/trunk/build/linux must be redited and moved to the webrtc/trunk/build/FreeBSD_version_number

    This is as far as I have been able to build because I am still working on this. Anyone else that decides to work on installing webrtc on FreeBSD and wants to port it, please include additional instructions to this howto for others to see your work.

    At this point brltty-4.4/Programs/unicode.c as .unicode.c will come up in the error. Edit it and just do gmake distclean followed by gmake.
    You will need to import prologue.h from the parent directory. cp ../prologue.h $PWD/
    The next error that I am stuck at is:
    Code:

    I have set configure as ./configure CC=/usr/local/bin/clang CXX=/usr/local/bin/clang++ CPP=/usr/local/bin/clang-cpp --prefix=/usr/local/ . You can use this for whatever compiler and preprocessor you have.

    Running ./configure will need the following flag of CXXFLAGS=-Wno-unused-variable appended to the ./configure suggested earlier.

    Forgive me if things may seem repetitive; but, I want this "porting effort" to be public. WebRTC is not a bad idea considering it means using firefox, chrome, or even konqueror for voice and video chat. Perhaps a no-Skype-dependency allowing people to use whatever they want on their own machines.

    Further error reporting by comparison::
    Code: 
    static int
usbSetTimeout (int file, int new, int *old) {
  if (!old || (new != *old)) {
    int arg = new;
    if (ioctl(file, USB_SET_TIMEOUT, &arg) == -1) {
      logSystemError("USB timeout set");
      return 0;
    }
    if (old) *old = new;
  }
  return 1;
}

    Notice that "usbSetTimeout" and USB_SET_TIMEOUT don't match. I'm thinking that either they should both match or that
    Code: 
    usbSetTimeout = USB_SET_TIMEOUT
    somewhere in the picture.
 
In usb_bsd.h add
Code: 
#include </usr/include/libusb.h>
to the other lists of includes.

USB_SET_TIMEOUT

and a solution- to which I do not know currently how to implement:: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.os.fre ... l.usb/5915

The following is a corrected version of usb_bsd.h and should be saved as such to replace the current in brltty-4.4/Programs

I will post the error corrections later along with a short list of what should have been edited in /usr/local/include/unicode



For me, the chromium does not include webrtc options with make config.
I had to build firefox-esr. There is no webrtc reference when make config is ran within that directory.

A standalone version would allow developers who use FreeBSD to build applications using WebRTC. Also, if a Qt or GTK application requires WebRTC, then it will be available on the system. The FreeBSD community will have a direct say in the development of WebRTC. The brltty application will be available for FreeBSD, which will add another accessibility/at application for sight impaired people and others.

Personally, I see nothing wrong with my efforts. The corrections are made public. No one will be confused as to when or where what is located because it will be here on the forums.

Because this requires moving between the system and two environments, posts will be labeled as such.
This post is system values and search commands.

The following need to be edited
Code: 
 #include <filetype>
has the entire path of
Code: 
[file]/usr/local/include/unicode[/file] [file]alphaindex.h[/file], [file]appendable.h[/file], [file]basictz.h[/file], [file]bms.h[/file], [file]localpointer.h[/file], [file]platform.h[file], [file]ptypes.h[/file], [file]uchar.h[/file], [file]uiter.h[/file], [file]umachine.h[/file], [file]unorm.h[/file], [file]unorm2.h[/file], [file]urename.h[/file], [file]uset.h[/file], [file]ushape.h[/file], [file]utf.h[/file], [file]utf16.h[/file], [file]utypes.h[/file], and [file]uversion.h[/file]

Searching for an expression find /$PATH -exec grep -H -E -o "EXACT_EXPRESSION" {} \; Keep this command to ensure that you will be able to search.
Because CLang works differently than GCC, you may need to edit system files to include exact paths and values. Be sure to keep a copy of the original file if something unexpected happens.

Continuing with WebRTC

In trunk/third_party/openssl/openssl/crypto edit LPdir_unix.c to include the entire path for
#include
Click to expand...
to have the complete path name and rename as LPdir_freebsd.c, saving in the same area.

If you have little patience, then # /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb && locate linux|grep $WEBRTC_SOURCE/trunk and then tee or &> to a file.

Thanks muchly.



I am adding to this:

1. You must use the
Code: 
 sync --force
flag when running gclient. If that does not work, then create a new directory, pull the changes, and copy the old files to the new directory.
2. The find / option above should be replaced with grep -RH -E -o "PATTERN" "$PATH".
thanks

SciTE $WEBRTC_SOURCE/trunk/tools/gn/bootstrap/bootstrap.py Change every 'linux' reference to 'freebsd'. Do not correct this spelling. Save the file.
In WEBRTC_SOURCE/trunk/third_party mkdir libevent.
cp /usr/src/contrib/pf/libevent/* SOURCE/trunk/third_party/libevent/

You will need to copy the missing libraries by searching for "libevent/$FILE" on the internet.


http://martine.github.io/ninja/

Follow all directions. the git checkout release doesn't seem to work. Do add the clang references.


https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/base/
cp -r $NINJA_DIRECTORY/* CHROMIUM_BASE_DIRECTORY/
ninja

You will need this in base.

Ninja:

You are going to edit configure.py in $NINJA_SRC_DIR.
Comment out f (platform.is_() and the following line of code for that entry.
Use nvi $NINJA/configure.py and search for configure_env.get changing g++ to clang++.

Now, run ./configure.py.


Alright. Let's continue.

Open the chromium base folder and edit the following files: unix_domain_socket_linux.h, unix_domain_socket_linux.cc, and unix_domain_socket_linux_unittest.cc.
Rename every reference of Linux to FreeBSD according to coding style. Include the entire FreeBSD paths.

Look in base/threading and edit platform_thread_posix.cc to include
Code: 
#if defined(OS_FREEBSD)
#include </usr/src/include/sys/resource.h>
#include </usr/include/sys/syscall.h>
#include </usr/include/sys/procctl.h>
#include </usr/include/sys/time.h>
#include </usr/include/sys/uninstd.h>
#endif
 
The following posts are left blank so that I may edit and add to this tutorial without it being set to the forefront.
I want to be able to work on this without it grabbing too much attention. . For the record, this is not some trolling attempt at attention. What it happens to be is a subtle request to do a public active porting tutorial and to be able to allow others' to have their howto's printed without my updates causing trouble.

Thank you for reading and not replying.
 
You probably want to search included files for macro definition in linked files, add it if isn't there and replace USB_SET_TIMEOUT with USB_SET_TX_TIMEOUT.

Given message you have linked I would try first modify shown code as follows:
Code: 
#define USB_SET_TX_TIMEOUT      _IOW ('U', 137, int)

static int
usbSetTimeout (int file, int new, int *old) {
  if (!old || (new != *old)) {
    int arg = new;
    if (ioctl(file, USB_SET_TX_TIMEOUT, &arg) == -1) {
      logSystemError("USB timeout set");
      return 0;
    }
    if (old) *old = new;
  }
  return 1;
}
 
This is the new post from which all things should start.
Rebuild world and kernel according to the handbook. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/makeworld.html
Setup the jail according to the handbook. The jail's name will be FreeBSD-Google_projects. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/jails-build.html
Because of the depth of change, we must have a pristine system from which to do our porting.
I will re-implement all changes properly. I had to change the installation on my laptop from i386-RELEASE to AMD64-RELEASE; however, you must be sure that the release matches the architecture of your machine.
Thanks.
 
Edited on February 28, 2014 between 16:25 and 16:30.
Since the next step in this process will take me some time, I will inform you on what I am doing if you are impatient.
Create a directory in /home named Chromium_OS. $mkdir /home/Chromium_OS.
Change to that directory. $ cd /home/ChromiumOS.
What you do next is taken from http://www.chromium.org/chromium-os/developer-guide.
repo init -u [url=https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/manifest.git]https://chromium.googlesource.com/chrom ... nifest.git[/url] --repo-url [url=https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo.git]https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo.git[/url]
repo sync

Every Linux system will keep a cache of packages in /var/cache/$PACKAGING_TOOL until you clean them out.
cd /home/ChromiumOS && ls -la $PWD|tee /home/ChromiumOS_packages.txt

Follow the example from the handbook on installing the ports tree to the jail.
With every file listed from /home/ChromiumOS_packages.txt look through the ports with #make search name=$PACKAGE_IN_QUESTION|grep /usr/ports.
On a separate terminal emulator, chroot to the jail and install the packages for which can be found with the ports search command.

From within the jail, download depot_tools from Google: http://www.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/depottools
Add depot_tools to PATH with export PATH=$PATH:/home/$USER/depot_tools

Because Google does not have a FreeBSD or any other BSD developer environment, we must create one. What we are doing is making a jailed environment with the exact same software with the exception that it follows the FreeBSD hierarchy. This same method can be used with making a chroot of OpenBSD ports and NetBSD ports that are exactly similar to those on a Chrome/ChromiumOS installment.

Congratulations, you have just now setup your FreeBSD-Google developer environment.

After I complete my environment building- I am doing it while writing this tutorial- the updated instructions for patching the system will be posted. Any emphasis that was put on brltty will not be brought up until after such instructions.
Please be patient.

If the repo command does not work, then try the following: git [url=https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo.git]https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/repo.git[/url]. That will solve any short term difficulties.

We are going to need a jail.conf file so:
Code: 
    bsdevelop {
     path = /home/FreeBSD-Google_projects
     allow.mount;
     mount.devfs;
     host.hostname = bsdoodle.com;
     ip4.addr = 127.0.0.10;
     interface = lo0;
    }

Modify that to whatever name you want.

Edit: Fixed that.
Fixed again on March 11, 2014
 
Read through the earlier posts on this thread. The setup that I suggested is wrong and needs to be corrected.
 
I am working on building the jail and moving things inside the chroot.
 
Redoing the jail setup, I've copied the template from viewtopic.php?f=39&t=41470 .
The layout will continue to evolve and edit.
Remove the reference in home for the project database. # cd /home/$PROJECT && chflags -R noschg * && rm -rf * && cd .. && rm -rf $PROJECT_DIRECTORY The garbage is gone.
#zfs create -o mountpoint=/jails $ZROOT/jails

# zfs create zroot/jails/FreeBSD-Google_projects

mkdir /jails/etc

This your jailed environment created a better way. I had to wrap my head around various options to get the right ones.

Give me a moment to import all variables into the jail.

I have to use public wireless access points and creating a clone/bridge to wlan0 means setting up a script. While I am trying to solve my dilemma, here is what you need to do:
Create the jail. Install world into the jail.
mkdir $JAIL/usr/ports && portsnap -p $JAIL/usr/ports fetch extract
Install python and other base languages. This can be done with installing lynx as the first port within the jail.
Install git and other developer tools.
Go to the first few posts in this thread. You will need to add depot_tools, python, and perl to the $PATH. Keep in mind that you are within the jail.
mkdir /android && mkdir /chromeos These need to be separate from /usr.
cd /android
http://source.android.com/source/downloading.html Follow the instructions.
This will be edited and rewritten.
After the initial download, do the following.
cd /chromeos

http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/dev ... requisites

Forget the references to Linux at this point because we need to manipulate both the ChromiumOS and Android environments.
Be sure that you have git, svn, and curl as stated within the document.

You will not configure git. Instead you will clone the source into /chromeos.

http://dev.chromium.org/chromium-os/dev ... the-Source

My resources are extremely limited.
 
http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html and others.

I'm adding and all of this will be redone.
Yes, you can build a Linux kernel and modules on FreeBSD- with modifications to the Linuxlator. Yes, there is a tutorial for that. It will be added later.
There is a tool called heimdall which can load a ROM to an Android device. I'll add the link to that later.

Some of the reasons for the changes in this tutorial:
1. The Google developers did not keep records of how the build method changed. For systems that had not yet worked on their projects, this would cause some difficulties.
2. The build environment is more complex than just Chrome browser.
3. No package configuration to include FreeBSD or other systems.

Everything can not be set up on each system the exact same way; however, programs which are similar can be used as substitutes.

WebRTC requires brltty and its libraries to work- this was stated earlier in the tutorial. This has to be removed from the package requirements.

Anywhere on here that you want to jump to or if you want to continue on your own, you can. This is a skeleton for a developer's environment- a template, if you will- and does not need to be followed step by step. I decided that a jailed system would eliminate the need for the users to hack their own systems into oblivion.
 
So the question is: How does one start a jail when one does not have a home/dedicated internet connection?
1. You hack an Android based smartphone and use it as a router. This will make permanent assignment of addresses easier provided that you always connect through the router.
2. You follow a set of commands or a script to help you out.
Code: 
#!/bin/sh
ifconfig lo0 127.1.2.7/32 alias && jail -c path=/$JAIL_PATH mount.devfs host.hostname=$JAIL_HOSTNAME ip4.addr=127.x.x.x command=/bin/sh
Do not use 127.0.0.1 .

What I am missing is the proper setup of pf.conf.

Think of this as me laying out a blueprint for us to follow.

First, let's look at the problem. I wanted to work on WebRTC on FreeBSD. What I found was that there is no environment suitable nor set up for such.
Second, it was necessary to see what would be required. Could the paths be simply changed or was more needed?
Third, with all of that known, what do I need to correct?

The build environment only exists for Windows, MacOSX, and Linux.
Are we able to access such environments without OS virtualization- e.g. VirtualBox, QEmu, Xen, etc? Yes. We can set up a jailed Linux compatibility environment which would allow the building with and the studying of related Google projects.
Are we able to explore the file system of certain projects and adjust our system to them? Yes. We are setting up an environment for that purpose.
Are we able to build such a project on FreeBSD? Yes. We will use the jailed Linux compatibility environments to work on the projects.

It's time to do some homework.
viewtopic.php?&t=37868 Link is in the last post. This will be one jailed environment. Create it. As a FreeBSD user, you need to remember that each Linux flavor has something to add. You will use the references earlier in this thread to create the Android, ChromiumOS, and WebRTC/source files within that environment.

viewtopic.php?f=39&t=41470 yes, you need to create a second jailed Linux compatibility environment.

According to my current setup, my experience with different Linux distributions, and previous virtualized/emulated environments; the following will be a good hardware configuration for this project.
My system has 1024M RAM, 120GB drive, 2x1.6GHz core processors, architecture is amd64. This project requires a single host plus three jailed environments. To run this without strain a minimum setup will need:
1. 3GB of RAM.
2. 3GB of swap.
3. 250GB of disk space.
4. QuadCore processor.


You need to populate the FreeBSD jail with the basics from /usr/ports and start importing all of the variables into that jail.
You will need: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=45085 Why? Because you are building Android while studying it. This gives you a chance to use your FreeBSD machine with another environment.

Notice that when this thread was started, I was telling you to rewrite some paths on your system. I realized that doing such for beginners was a bad idea. Here, in the jailed FreeBSD system, you can hack away at what there is and not screw up your actual machine installation.

"What if my system is hosed by now?" Don't worry. Restart with a fresh install and then setup the jails right after that install. You can look at the changes here, implement them, and then have the base environment done.

"Why are you telling us what to do but not writing it down as in directions?" I've gone through the starter process of porting WebRTC as a native FreeBSD build and realized that the entire Google developer environment needs to be ported for this. I have problems due to lack of a home ISP. I can map out what I see there is to do and share that with others.

"What else is this good for?" It will allow some of the Google and Linux developers to work on a system similar to theirs- jailed Linux compatibility- along with learning the FreeBSD system. It allows different parts of the Open Source community to work together.

"Will this tutorial be in depth?" Not quite, I am afraid. There is only so much I can do at the moment.

"Why?" What I am going to write is not there for pity, attention, manipulation, or any of that. It is there to put things into perspective for you. Do not take it out of context.

1. I'm doing all of this while homeless and struggling; but, if there is a problem I can help with, I will. This is such a problem. My laptop was given to me to help out others. I remain anonymous. I earn my money through physical labor.
2. Google asked me what my coding style was; it's helping others when they don't have the means but have the ability and initiative.
3. People forget that others may want to help. Other times, we don't desire to be patient enough to assist and aide or fellows. It was necessary to see and be both in this case.
4. There are others in my predicament and worse who still want something positive to do. We can give and that means we earn what we receive.
5. Sometimes growth means helping others before you can move on despite your limitations.


Now, anything from the above section from "Why?" to "limitations" will not be referred to again. It is there only to put things into perspective.


Returning:

"Now what?" Be patient. As soon as I am able to enable networking from within the jail, the scripts for such will be correctly presented.

Read through the posting. This is also on freebsd-x11@freebsd.org mailing list.

Why am I adding this? Because you may need extra functionality with Xorg in the jail.

The ninja binary is available in ports at /usr/ports/devel/ninja . This is needed in the jailed FreeBSD environment.

viewtopic.php?f=39&t=30063 This is what I am using to setup my pf.conf . You do not have to use the exact same cloned interface value, make up your own.
