Hi all,

As part of the test of the disable-doc patch I just sent, I built something
approaching an allyespackageconfig for x86_64 with a Sourcery-2012.09 toolchain. Interesting to look at the results.

- The following fail to build:

* classpath
* diffutils
* gpsd
* ipsec-tools
* linux-pam
* ltp-testsuite
* matchbox-desktop
* metacity
* webkit
* neard
* netatalk
* network-manager
* pcmanfm
* pv
* sconeserver-http-sconesite-image
* xdriver_xf86-video-geode
* xdriver_xf86-input-synaptics
* valgrind (because glibc 2.16 is not supported, needs valgrind bump)
* xstroke
* grub
* uboot (wrong ARCH parameter)

midori and jamvm are not built because they depend on the above.

There are a few more that fail to build in my environment if the
libxml2/mesa3d and linux-fusion patches are not applied. Also xenomai must be extracted manually before the build, otherwise linux fails to build.

- About 920 packages (host+target) are built, from 843 source tarballs.

- legal-info succeeds without problems, except that sylpheed's license file is not correctly defined.

- I also built a 3.2.28 kernel with Xenomai extension (OCF and RTAI don't have support for that kernel version) and a x86_64 defconfig.

- cramfs fails to build because it's too large; iso9660 fails to build because of grub.

- Resulting image sizes:

-rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 374M Dec 13 05:47 bzImage -rwxr-xr-x 1 arnout arnout 24K Dec 13 05:31 isolinux.bin* -rwxr-xr-x 1 arnout arnout 27K Dec 13 05:31 pxelinux.bin* -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 378M Dec 13 05:38 rootfs.cloop -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 903M Dec 13 05:40 rootfs.cpio -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 1.1G Dec 13 05:42 rootfs.ext2 -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 473M Dec 13 05:51 rootfs.jffs2 -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 899M Dec 13 05:54 rootfs.romfs -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 369M Dec 13 05:56 rootfs.squashfs -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 922M Dec 13 05:59 rootfs.tar -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 251M Dec 13 06:12 rootfs.tar.lzma -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 516M Dec 13 06:15 rootfs.ubi -rw-r--r-- 1 arnout arnout 508M Dec 13 06:15 rootfs.ubifs

- The output directory (including all these images) is 31GB: 21GB for build, 6.5GB for images, 2.9GB for host of which 2GB for staging. The sources (excluding toolchain) are 1.6GB.

- Time for a clean build (without ccache and JLEVEL=3) on my laptop is 6 hours. A yocto build takes roughly the same time on my laptop, but has less than half as many packages.

Regards,
Arnout

Interesting, and better than I feared ;) Do you have the build errors archived somewhere? I would like to see atleast the classpath issue.

Heh. Nice, it seems doable to do this on a relatively regular schedule.

Thanks!

No I haven't, but they're easy enough to reproduce.

For classpath:

checking for QtCore QtGui >= 4.1.0... yes
checking QT_CFLAGS... -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtGui -DQT_SHARED -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include -I/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtCore checking QT_LIBS... -lQtGui -L/home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/lib -lQtCore
checking for /home/arnout/src/buildroot/output-ext-toolchain-x86_64/host/usr/x86_64-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/QtGui/QWidget... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling

I'll try to re-run current HEAD (which has fixed quite a few packages
already) with make -k and put it on a pastebin.

You already fixed it :-)

Yep. Although the Linaro toolchain is probably a more appropriate choice.

FYI, the classpath issue occurs when Qt is enabled. It's configure.ac
uses AC_CHECK_FILE which isn't supported when cross-compiling. It should use AC_CHECK_HEADER instead.
