Error when building custom module with kurento-buildpackage.sh : File name too long

[Michael Dominguez]

Hello Kurento,

I am using kurento-buildpackage.sh to build a face detection module with OpenCV
Kurento 7.0.0
opencv ^3.2.0

cmake 3.0

The issue:
When I run the kurento-buildpackage.sh script I get "File name too long". It looks like the name is getting built based on some git logs.

Question:

How does the file name get built? and can I change how its built?

debian/changelog:

If you want to build KMS7 from source your are good to go with this documentation:

https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/installation.html#local-installation

If you additionally install kurento-media-server-dev
you will have all the tools available to build your OpenCV plugin.

Wondering about your OpenCV version. 20.04 comes with 4.2, why do you have 3.2?

[Michael Dominguez]

Thank you Neil,
I was able fix my issue by changing the version in debian/changelog and then using the --release flag on kurento-buildpackage.sh.

As for the OpenCV version, I used the kurento-module-scaffold to create the project. and when I checked the CMakeLists.txt file it said ^3.2.0. I assumed that it was a safer way of saying 4.2.0 because of the carrot(^)

[Juan Navarro]

The template file for CMakeLists.txt in the scaffolding tool was changed on March this year, prior to the release of Kurento 7.0.0, to now look like this:

set(OPENCV_REQUIRED <5.0.0)

See:
https://github.com/Kurento/kurento/commit/6d0e77032e0f3efe206225c51e319da07f31937a

So, if your CMakeLists.txt says "^3.2.0" or anything different than "<5.0.0", it probably means that you are using an older version. That's OK if you want to target Kurento v6.x for any reason. But if you thought you'd be targeting Kurento v7, then mind that there is something wrong in your setup.

Most users get caught by this because the "apt-get" tool is a bit stupid and won't uninstall all dependencies that got installed with "apt-get install kurento-media-server-dev". So they later try to install a newer version of Kurento, resulting in a mixture of newer and older packages.

This baffling issue with what is a basic system tool, led users to a broken Kurento installation so often that we had to add a specific doc section about it, have a look just in case:

https://doc-kurento.readthedocs.io/en/latest/user/installation.html#local-upgrade

Oh you are right! I was looking at the old project files! Im sorry the actually version is <5.0.0
I will look at the local-upgrade doc as well thank you!
