Hey,
Thanks for all the amazing work you folks have been doing ! Pretty amazing.
For development purposes, we are manually installing the Hailo suite for rpi5 with latest versions to base our development off of that and not the easy sudo apt install hailo-all option that is stuck in 4.18.
Hailo PCIe driver and HailoRT are at 4.23.0. Python and Gstreamer bindings are good except that the gstreamer bindings only gives you hailo gstreamer plugin and not full hailotool plugin.
Hence also building TAPPAS manually from git repo version 3.31.0 but getting a bunch of issues.
First, I haven’t recloned the hailort repo inside tappas as that is redundant, and simply made a symbolic link to my hailort, but I have tried cloning to see if my errors would go away and still didn’t.
I call the :
./install.sh --skip-hailort --target-platform rpi5
but only get to this :
…
usage: main.py [-h] [–root-path ROOT_PATH] [–dump-requirements] [–apps-list APPS_LIST [APPS_LIST …]] {x86,arm,imx8,rockchip,rpi,any}
main.py: error: argument platform: invalid Platform value: ‘rpi5’
I’ve tried with rpi as an argument as it shouldn’t be too far from the track :
./install.sh --skip-hailort --target-platform rpi
but then I get this funny response :
WARNING: Requirement gcc-9 not found.
WARNING: Requirement g+±9 not found.

Which brings me to my main question… why are we stuck on v9 for gcc and g++ ?
Couldn’t we just have >=9 somewhere ?
In line 160 in install.sh for v.3.31.0 :
function set_gcc_version(){
if [ “$target_platform” == “rpi” ] || [ “$target_platform” == “rockchip” ]; then
gcc_version=9
else
ubuntu_version=$(lsb_release -r | awk ‘{print $2}’ | awk -F’.’ ‘{print $1}’)
if [ $ubuntu_version -eq 20 ]; then
gcc_version=9
fi
fi
}
For fun I’ve changed line 162 to gcc_version=12 and I get to move on. Talked with a couple of hardcore linux devs at my job with a lot of experience and none see why gcc12 wouldn’t be able to do gcc9’s job. But I do run into another problem.
After having the script pull a bunch of tar files and clone and checkout stuff, I get to the Meson build system with info such as :

And then a failure to find the files that should be in the HailoRT cloned repo :
../plugins/filter/gsthailofilter.cpp:6:10: fatal error: tensor_meta.hpp: No such file or directory
6 | #include “tensor_meta.hpp”
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
I guess I could always just modify the meson build on my side to include the repo but I wanted to share these considerations with all you amazing people.
I’ve tried this as well with a clean git clone hailort inside the manual install instruction… but I’m back to my symbolic ln -s situation.
Anywho… so why are we stuck on gcc 9 ? and why can’t meson get the files ? I’ll answer the meson problem on my side but maybe this could be more fluid so my future pull and build scripts don’t need manual labor and worse : human activity – to make it all come together.
With lot’s of love, from my northern winter storm party and cold humidity –
ciao.
