libglib2 build failure

Hello,

While trying to compile libglib2, I get the following build failure. It
is the infamous libtool problem, but libglib2 uses libtool 2.x, for
which our buildroot-libtool.patch does not apply. It happens in an external toolchain configuration, and libglib2.0-dev is installed on the host.

Le mercredi 10 f?vrier 2010 ? 00:48 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni a ?crit :

I recompiled libglib2 2.22.4 recently with an external toolchain and having libglib2-dev installed on my host, and I don't see the problem...

What if you set AUTORECONF=YES and LIBTOOL_PATCH=YES ?

Regards,

Lionel Landwerlin

Ah, ah, interesting. Just for curiosity, which version of libtool is installed on your host ? On mine, it's libtool 1.5.26.

Well, I think LIBTOOL_PATCH=YES cannot work, since the buildroot-libtool.patch only applies properly to packages containing libtool 1.x, and libglib2 contains libtool 2.x.

Cheers,

Thomas

In fact, LIBTOOL_PATCH=YES works, but the autoreconfigure afterwards fails (see the log below). Any clue on what the problem is ?

For the record, I've added to the test my patch that installs gtk-doc.m4 to $(STAGING_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal/ before running this test, but saw no difference.

With AUTORECONF=YES we wait the autoreconf step to be done to patch the ltmain.sh script.
Maybe that's why you don't see the problem right now, but in my case, running autoreconf regenerated
the ltmain.sh using buildroot's libtool so the patch applies cleanly.

I'm using this one too ;)

After a little research in my olds patch lists, I have something that patches the Makefile.am at top directory
of the libglib2 sources to remove the test directory from SRC_SUBDIRS.
If I remember correctly, this problem comes from the redefinition of
EXTRA_DIST...

Hello,

For the record, I've been able to fix this issue by using a more recent gtk-doc.m4 version than the one I had in my repo. So now, libglib2 build with LIBTOOL_PATCH=YES and AUTORECONF=YES works.

However, without these, the build breaks for me,
with /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized. What's odd is that in the same conditions (same Buildroot version, same version of libtool on the host, libglib-dev installed on the host), the build doesn't break for Lionel.

I've also tried importing the OpenWRT way of handling libtool problems into Buildroot, but it fails. For the record, the OpenWRT way is :

* Compile libtool for the host, with a few patches

https://dev.openwrt.org/browser/trunk/package/libtool/patches

* When a package asks for a libtool fixup, do :

  cp $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)
  cp $(HOST_DIR)/usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)
  cp $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/libtool $$($$(PKG)_SRCDIR)

It fails with :

../../libtool: line 841: X--tag=CC: command not found ../../libtool: line 874: libtool: ignoring unknown tag : command not found [... many more issues ...]

Which, according to quick Google searches, seems to indicate that the version of libtool.m4 doesn't match the one bundled into aclocal.m4. Or something like this.

This libtool thing is really driving me crazy.

AUTORECONF shouldn't run libtoolize ?

I've digged into this a bit further. In order to make cleaner tests, I've created a Debian stable chroot with the minimum set of packages needed to get Buildroot running
(http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/buildroot/pkg-list). And then I tried to compile two configurations :

* An ARM configuration, with an internal toolchain (generated by Buildroot), with Busybox and libglib2. Compiles perfectly.

Config
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/buildroot/config-internal

Build log
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/buildroot/build-internal.log

* An ARM configuration, with a CodeSourcery toolchain as an external toolchain, with Busybox and libglib2. Fails to build libglib2 because it tries to link against /usr/lib/libdl.so.

Config
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/buildroot/config-ext

Build log
http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/buildroot/build-external.log

So obviously it looks like that the parameter that makes it fail is the external toolchain. Any idea on what impact it could have on libtool ?

Thanks for your input and ideas,

Thomas
