WiringPi on Odroid

Troubleshooting
1

Hi,

just tried to install WiringPi from “Software Optimized” (via DietPi-Software) on an Odroid N2, but this failed.

Checking the log and looking into the code of the WiringPi package (which is downloaded from https://github.com/hardkernel/wiringPi/archive/master.tar.gz) pointed me to a missing folder ‘/usr/local/bin’ (which is targeted to install the gpio binary, see wiringPi-master/gpio/Makefile).

Not sure, what actually the bug is (I guess in the mentioned Makefile of the WiringPi package there should be some check for the path or a differenciation depending on the distribution), but just manually creating the folder ‘/usr/local/bin’ and reinstalling WiringPi through dientpi-software fixed the issue for me… Maybe this folder should be created in the DietPi image by default?

Hi,

many thanks for your message. Basically it’s not an issue to add a check for for the availability of /usr/local/bin to our script. :slight_smile:

Many thanks for reporting. I remember a few other cases where /usr/local/ sub directories were missing, so good to not expect them to exist. PR merged to be released with DietPi v6.35. Changelog entry is here: https://github.com/MichaIng/DietPi/commit/f2e39cf9b6086fce17d8219a7adfc090abfa2dbb
