*** This package doesn't support your platform Error (Raspberry Pi 2)

#1

Hey,

So i got raspberry pi (version 2) the other day and follow the instructions on installing.
Everything went well but when i came to this part of the instruction
Line:
“make Release -C /home/pi/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project”
This error appears:
"
make: Entering directory ‘/home/pi/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project’
HOST_OS=Linux
HOST_ARCH=armv7l
makefileCommon/config.shared.mk:201: *** This package doesn’t support your platform, probably you downloaded the wrong package?. Stop.
make: Leaving directory ‘/home/pi/openFrameworks/libs/openFrameworksCompiled/project’
"

Has anyone else got this problem?

we did some changes to fix a problem and now the default for rpi 1 and 2 is armv6 but the current version still won’t work well with rpi2. can you try the nightly builds or the release candidate for 0.9.1 from: 0.9.1 Release Candidate 1

Hello,

i am facing the same problem.
I downloaded both armv6 and armv7 oF packages from your link above but no luck.
I followed this guide : http://openframeworks.cc/setup/raspberrypi/raspberry-pi-getting-started/

I am on Raspberry Pi 2 with raspbian jessie including latest updates.
Did an install_dependencies.
Did “export MAKEFLAGS=-j4 PLATFORM_VARIANT=rpi2”

Same errors on armv6 and armv7 under oF09 or oF091beta

keeps throwing : “./libs/openFameworksCompiled/project/makefileCommon/config.shared.mk:215 *** this package doesn’t support your platform”

thanks

can you try without exporting PLATFORM_VARIANT with armv6 from the 0.9.1 package

#5

no. problem persists…

by the way, i am using Raspbian Jessie Lite, i don’t know if it changes anything…

#6

i would try with plain jessie, no idea what’s the difference but armv7 should compile right away with 0.9 and armv6 with 0.9.1 none of them need to specify a variant

#7

ok. i will dig a bit more.

it is not clear which version i should use on rpi2. like you said, i understand i should use armv7 if using 0.9 and armv6 with 0.9.1 ?

thanks

#8

yes that’s it, we were using armv7 with 0.9 but it was problematic because raspbian is compiled for arm6 so from 0.9.1 on we recomend using armv6 when using raspbian

#9

ok. i did a clean install and now it is compiling with armv6 under Raspbian Jessie Lite

thanks

#10

any workaround?

#11

no workaround for me. Juste use armv6 version Witt raspbian on rpi1 and rpi2

#12

I was having the same issue, and 0.9.1 was not working either.
The problem was that config.shared.mk assumes that you have RPI_ROOT defined if using Raspbian, so if you don’t it never recognizes it as such and thus fails.
You can solve it by doing export of RPI_ROOT or by editing config.shared.mk (line 47):

ifdef RPI_ROOT ifeq ($(shell grep ID=raspbian $(RPI_ROOT)/etc/*-release),ID=raspbian) IS_RASPBIAN=1 endif endif

to this:

ifdef RPI_ROOT
    ifeq ($(shell grep ID=raspbian $(RPI_ROOT)/etc/*-release),ID=raspbian)
        IS_RASPBIAN=1
    endif
else
    ifeq ($(shell grep ID=raspbian /etc/*-release),ID=raspbian)
        IS_RASPBIAN=1
    endif
endif

Great @fedelinn, thanks. I was having trouble trying to compile 0.9.1 in RPi 2 as well, but your solution did the trick.

#14

looks like this has been fixed in the 0.9.2 version - out of the box the armv6 package compiles fine on the RPi2, but if you’re using 0.9.1 it looks like you’ll need the modification above.
