Cross compilation on Windows Subsystem for Linux

    @cas That's a fantastic point!

    I just looked into it, and apparently NTFS IS now case sensitive specifically for this reason. For anyone interested, it is described here.

    Appears to be working sufficiently; that's not to say there isn't an edge case that results in some idiosyncratic behavior during the make execution.

    elliot477569@Helium2:~$ cd /mnt/d/Onion/
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ touch test.md
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ touch Test.md
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ ls
source  test.md  Test.md

    With regard to confirming it is actually GNU m4 - I'm not sure, but it looks suspiciously similar to yours:

Description-en: macro processing language
 GNU `m4' is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro
 processor.  It is mostly SVR4 compatible, although it has some
 extensions (for example, handling more than 9 positional parameters to
 macros).  `m4' also has builtin functions for including files, running
 shell commands, doing arithmetic, etc.  Autoconf needs GNU `m4' for
 generating `configure' scripts, but not for running them.

    Aah, but is it really? 😉 Consider the following test case:
    In linux:

    $ cat t
cat: t: No such file or directory
$ echo "t" > t
$ cat t
t
$ cat T
cat: T: No such file or directory
$

    In my git bash shell on an NTFS volume in windows:

    $ cat t
cat: t: No such file or directory
$ echo "t" > t
$ cat t
t
$ cat T
t
$

    Admittedly, don't know if the environments are equivalent, but it's a good and simple enough test to check. 🙂 After reading the linked page, no they are not, but you're right, there could be some slight behavioural differences that throw it off.

    @cas Again, great point.

    elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat t
cat: t: No such file or directory
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ echo "t" > t
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat t
t
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion$ cat T
cat: T: No such file or directory

    Seems correct.

    I wonder why your output in Windows is different. Did you run it in a volume root - case sensitivity isn't present the root? Are you using WSL, or an alternative like cygwin?

    Yup, looks identical. The description indicates GNU 'm4', so good enough for me.

    Well, let's see if anyone else has any ideas.
    Otherwise you might try running make configure manually in the /mnt/d/Onion/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.2.2 dir and see if you can glean any more info?

    Hmm, here's something else to try, is it finding the correct m4?

    ~/OpenWrt-LEDE/openwrt$ which m4
/usr/bin/m4
~/OpenWrt-LEDE/openwrt$ m4 --version

    @cas

    As far as I can tell, m4 is identical to yours.

    elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion/source$ which m4
/usr/bin/m4
elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion/source$  m4 --version

    Am I doing this correctly?

Description-en: Tool for generating GNU Standards-compliant Makefiles
 Automake is a tool for automatically generating `Makefile.in's from
 files called `Makefile.am'.
 .
 The goal of Automake is to remove the burden of Makefile maintenance
 from the back of the individual GNU maintainer (and put it on the back
 of the Automake maintainer).
 .
 The `Makefile.am' is basically a series of `make' macro definitions
 (with rules being thrown in occasionally).  The generated
 `Makefile.in's are compliant with the GNU Makefile standards.
 .
 Automake 1.15 fails to work in a number of situations that Automake
 1.4, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11 and 1.14 did, so previous versions are
 available as separate packages.

    I wonder why your output in Windows is different. Did you run it in a volume root - case sensitivity isn't present the root? Are you using WSL, or an alternative like cygwin?

    It's a git bash shell, so I think it's built on top of cygwin or something like that - but anyway it's definitely not WSL and your test shows you're good to go.

    [edit]
    Also:

    elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion/source$ make menuconfig
...
Checking 'case-sensitive-fs'... ok.

    Am I doing this correctly?

    elliot477569@Helium2:/mnt/d/Onion/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.2.2$ make configure
make: 'configure' is up to date.

    Maybe we're missing something.
    My interpretation of this is that configure didn't get built:

    make[4]: Entering directory '/mnt/d/Onion/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.2.2'
CDPATH="${ZSH_VERSION+.}:" && cd . && bash /mnt/d/Onion/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.2.2/build-aux/missing --run autoconf
autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /mnt/d/Onion/source/staging_dir/host/bin/m4
Makefile:1023: recipe for target 'configure' failed
make[4]: *** [configure] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory '/mnt/d/Onion/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.2.2'

    But your make says it's up to date, which would indicate it was built successfully.

    Perhaps it's time to backup your .config and make distclean and start from scratch?

    [edit]
    Looking back through the thread, the following:
    1.) make died, making sed.
    2.) a later make skipped over sed (indicating it was successful - correlates with your make configure ) and then died making the next file: patch.

    Maybe this is a timing issue within make? Perhaps a later thread is exiting before an earlier thread has completed?
    What if you just run make with no parameters? It'll be slow, but hopefully sequential...

    Scanning the WSL issues on Github - Processes disappearing? Maybe you're seeing something related?

    If you repeatedly run make, does it get a little bit further into the build process each time?

    Last thought on this for now.
    Working on the assumption that something external to the build process might be interfering with it, and since this is windows you are probably running some kind of anti-virus software. If so, have you tried excluding your build path and all sub-folders from your AV software? Or temporarily disabling it and then running a build?

    @cas @Elliot-477569 I have the identical error on macOS 10.13.1.... (cf here https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?pid=369392)

    I thought I would take a break from this for a couple of projects and come back to it later. There is a long weekend coming up so later is now ^^.

    Thanks again for your assistance and perseverance @cas; I appreciate your insight!

    @Jonathan-Zwart although I would like to state how glad I am that this isn't just a Windows symptom, I do empathise with your circumstance. Did you overcome this issue?

    I recently came across these:

    I did admittedly get a little excited after all the positive comments and sounds of success, however my success was limited:

    Success!

    Everything appeared to work as expected once I set this up on the default WSL partition. I haven't looked into why, or what this issue represents, but simply following the Onion guide was sufficient. For the record, I still feel dirty about this.

    ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    @Jonathan-Zwart I have a solution to the 10.13.1 problem with m4 you've encountered (see my answer to your post in the openwrt forum and/or the question/solution in the lede forum from late 2017)

    But it does not seem to be related to the OP's problem on WSL to me. From @Elliot-477569 's last post I rather conclude his original problem was a file system issue.

    I still have a unresolved strange issue with make leaving out parts of the build of the mt76 wifi driver when building LEDE master on macOS 10.13.1, resulting in an image with everything working, except that the entire mac80211 infrastructure is missing. The reason behind must be a similar subtlety like in @Elliot-477569 's case on WSL, that's why I subscribed to this thread in the first place... Any ideas are welcome 😉
