Adding a ModemManager package

I'm trying to add a ModemManager package. While building, I'm getting this error during the installation step: "/usr/lib/libgcc_s.so: file not
recognized: File format not recognized". This looks like it's looking at my host's libgcc_s.so instead of the target's version. If that's the case I'm not sure why or how to fix it. I did have to use autogen.sh to create the configure script and lots of other stuff; I did this on my host system, so I'm not sure if that is affecting it.

Below is a larger part of the output for context.

Dear Shawn J. Goff,

Could you post the in-progress patch you have to add the modem-manager package? This would allow us to check for potential suspicious things in the .mk file, and if nothing suspicious shows up, to try and reproduce the issue.

Thanks!

Sure, here's a patch. udev was disabling gudev; for now, I had to remove
that part because the default configuration of ModemManager seems to
require it. I don't have a patch for the autogen-created files yet. I
run make, then go to the build directory and run "NOCONFIGURE=yes
./autogen.sh", then go back and continue running make.

Dear Shawn J. Goff,

If you read the udev.mk, you see that gudev is disabled unless BR2_PACKAGE_UDEV_ALL_EXTRAS is enabled. And your package selects it, so it should "just" work.

Use MODEM_MANAGER_AUTORECONF = YES instead.

I don't have the time to try and reproduce the problem right now, but hopefully someone else will have a look.

Best regards,

Thomas

Hi Shawn,

I haven't been able to reproduce your issue because your patch didn't
include the libqmi package. However, it is very well possible that the issue is caused by running 'autogen.sh'. Is it possible that the libtool patch doesn't get applied? I see that libtool adds "-rpath /usr/lib" to the link command, and I believe the libtool patch removes exactly that.

To create configure properly, you need to set _AUTORECONF to YES, as
mentioned by Thomas. Unfortunately, that is not so easy...

- modem-manager uses gettext macros provided by the gettext package, so you need to add host-gettext to the dependencies. But host-gettext doesn't exist yet - I'll send a patch to add it.

- modem-manager requires gtkdocize to be run. We certainly don't want to add gtkdocize to buildroot. But since it just generates two files for a total of 350 lines, it's easy to add that with a package patch.

Hopefully this will help you to solve the problem.

Regards,
Arnout

host-gettext is required for the autotools macros used by modem-manager.

I noticed that gettext uses ncurses if available, but there is no dependency or --disable in the .mk file...

Oops... forgot about that. I've been sitting on that patch because libqmi v1.0 has some bugs that have been fixed, but they haven't set a version number since then, so it's just got a sha for the version number. I'll go ahead and submit that, though.

Yes - I noticed :-)

Awesome.

Yes, actually, I do that with libqmi, so I'm familiar with that.
