# install required packages
sudo apt-get install git rsync cmake build-essential libQt4-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev python-dev
sudo apt-get install git rsync cmake ia32-libs protobuf-compiler

# On newer version of Ubuntu (and maybe other distros) the ia32-libs is not available, the following
# install solved this for me (TODO: verify what is really required)
sudo apt-get install libc6:i386 libgcc1:i386 gcc-4.6-base:i386 libstdc++5:i386 libstdc++6:i386

# create the rootfs by copying it from an target
mkdir -p "$ROOTFS_DIR"
rsync -rl --delete-after --copy-unsafe-links $TARGET_USER@$TARGET_IP:/{lib,usr} "$ROOTFS_DIR"

######## RPi specific #########

# get the raspberry pi firmware and add it to the rootfs
git clone https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware.git "$RASCROSS_DIR/firmware"
ln -s "$RASCROSS_DIR/firmware/hardfp/opt" "$ROOTFS_DIR/opt"

# get the compile tools
git clone git://github.com/raspberrypi/tools.git "$RASCROSS_DIR/tools"

##### End of RPi specific ######

# get the Hyperion sources
git clone --recursive https://github.com/tvdzwan/hyperion.git "$HYPERION_DIR"

# if you forget the --resursive in above statement or you are updating an existing clone you need
# to clone the protobuf submodule by runnning the follwing two statements:
git submodule init
git submodule update

# do a native build (to build the protobuf compiler for the native platform)
mkdir -p "$NATIVE_BUILD_DIR"
cmake -DENABLE_DISPMANX=OFF --build "$NATIVE_BUILD_DIR" "$HYPERION_DIR"

# do the cross build 
# specify the protoc export file to import the protobuf compiler from the native build
mkdir -p "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR"
cmake -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE="$TOOLCHAIN_FILE" -DIMPORT_PROTOC=$NATIVE_BUILD_DIR/protoc_export.cmake --build "$TARGET_BUILD_DIR" "$HYPERION_DIR"

# For hummingboard (imx6) the following package is required
sudo apt-get install lib32z1
