Fix (nativesdk-)perl dependency issues

When use toolchain gmae to compile iptables, autoreconf needs perl and some perl modules. It is too many item to put in the .bb file, so just add nativesdk-perl-modules to provide them.

Ok, this is getting closer but I'm still not 100% convinced we have everything fixed properly. For example, if the above is true, isn't RDEPENDS_${PN} wrong? Do we need everything in perl-modules?

I also took a look at the automake recipe which in some ways looks better behaved. It does:

RDEPENDS_${PN} += "\
     autoconf \
     perl \
     perl-module-bytes \
     perl-module-constant \
     perl-module-cwd \
     perl-module-data-dumper \
     perl-module-dynaloader \
     perl-module-errno \
     perl-module-exporter-heavy \
     perl-module-file-basename \
     perl-module-file-compare \
     perl-module-file-copy \
     perl-module-file-glob \
     perl-module-file-spec-unix \
     perl-module-file-stat \
     perl-module-getopt-long \
     perl-module-io \
     perl-module-io-file \
     perl-module-posix \
     perl-module-strict \
     perl-module-text-parsewords \
     perl-module-vars "

RDEPENDS_${PN}_virtclass-native = "autoconf-native perl-native-runtime" RDEPENDS_${PN}_virtclass-nativesdk = "nativesdk-autoconf"

which at least seems to list the modules it really needs. The fact we then set a virtclass-nativesdk version which is wrong is worrying.

I think the assumption has been that for nativesdk, we'd use the system perl.

So I think we need to

a) Decide whether the sdk should be using the nativesdk perl or the host system one. I'm fine with deciding we should use the nativesdk perl
b) Fix RDEPENDS_${PN} for autoconf so that it lists the right perl modules.

c) At this pooint we might be able to simply remove RDEPENDS_ ${PN}_virtclass-nativesdk and the code should figure things out automagically itself.

d) We should verify the list of modules for automake is correct

e) We should also see if we can simply remove the RDEPENDS_ ${PN}_virtclass-nativesdk line from automake.

Does that make sense?

Cheers,

Hi Richard,

I have put every single perl module to autoconf's rdepend. I also update the dependencies among perl modules themselves.

It looks fine when remove the RDEPENDS_ ${PN}_virtclass-nativesdk from autoconf.

d) We should verify the list of modules for automake is correct

Because automake depends on autoconf, so how about I remove the perl-module-* in automake's rdepends these already in autoconf rdepends?

I'll try to remove it.
