• openqm: qmclient on raspberry pi question

    From lititude101095@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 26 18:52:49 2017
    open qm (3.4.11) works fine on raspberry pi 3, that is from the site auto extract archive

    the qmclient.py program requires qmclilib.so (client library, shared object file). The archive file on the download site

    libqmclient.a - (QMClient library Raspberry Pi)

    provides

    qmclilib.o

    that goes into
    /usr/qmsys/bin, permissions set

    qmclient.py tries to load it but:

    OSError: /usr/qmsys/bin/qmclilib.so: only ET_DYN and ET_EXEC can be loaded

    I copy the qmclilib.o to qmclilib.so (hopefully) & get the same message

    have looked for qmclient.py file specifically for raspberry pi .. the SYSCOM (qmclient.py) is same, looks for qmclilib.so. qmclient.py is same for all platforms

    Anyone know how to get the qmclient working

    test I use is

    qm.Connect(Host, -1, UserName, Password, Account) obviously

    libqmclient.a is in the pi version (is in /usr/qmsys/bin) so you don't need that from the site (site provides the self extracting archive & the client for the pi)

    libqmclient.a contains qmclilib.o and aes.o (don't know what that is)

    issue is the provision of .o files for pi3 , requirement of qmclient.py of .so .so = "shared object"

    corrected command:

    python qmclient appears to work fine after this .. but o file convert gives warning

    g++ -shared -fPIC -o qmclilib.so *.o

    /usr/bin/ld: warning: aes.o uses 2-byte wchar_t yet the output is to use 4-byte wchar_t; use of wchar_t values across objects may fail

    solved

    make required object (.o) files into shared object (.so)

    using command form g++ -shared -fPIC -o myshared.so *.o

    so .. for the .o files extracted from archive (in /usr/qmsys/bin)

    g++ -shared -fPIC -o qmclilib.o *.o

    links all object files (including aes.o from archive, required)

    into a qmclilib.so that qmclient.py will load happily (all works)
