Errors building source for cross development

  • crispyoz

    @Lachlan-Peter run make menuconfig, look in "Utilities" submenu and disable "findutils-find" then make clean and make -j 8

    That should fix the issue.

    In menuconfig, all findutils are not enabled (findutils-find, findutils-locate, findutils-args).
    This is not where the problem lies.

    The problem is the Makefile in 'tools' that makes 'findutils'. You can see in my original post that it is the tools/Makefile where the error occurs.

    Unfortunately I cannot remove 'findutils' from the Makefile as it is a requirement for building 'quilt'. If I remove the entry for 'findutils' in 'tools/Makefil' at line 28, I get the follwing error:

    time: tools/patch-image/compile#0.04#0.01#0.09
    make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'tools/findutils/compile', needed by 'tools/quilt/compile'. Stop.
    make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'
    make[1]: *** [tools/Makefile:150: /home/lachlan/omega/source/staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/stamp/.tools_compile_yynyyyyynyyyynyynnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynyynynyyyynnyy] Error 2

    There is nothing in the tools/findutils/Makefile that helps me determine the problem.

    Any further ideas?

    Note: There is a different folder and different makefile for 'findutils' in 'tools' and 'package/feeds/packages/findutils'. It is the 'tools' version that is giving the problem. menuconfig probably disables the package created in Utilities.

    Immediately before the 'findutils failure', there is more error information:

    checking for BEOS mounted file system support functions... no
    checking whether it is possible to resort to fread on /etc/mnttab... no
    configure: error: could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems
    make[3]: *** [Makefile:22: /home/lachlan/omega/source/build_dir/host/findutils-4.6.0/.configured] Error 1
    make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source/tools/findutils'
    Command exited with non-zero status 2
    time: tools/findutils/compile#23.95#6.64#54.33
    make[2]: *** [tools/Makefile:154: tools/findutils/compile] Error 2
    make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'
    make[1]: *** [tools/Makefile:150: /home/lachlan/omega/source/staging_dir/target-mips_24kc_musl/stamp/.tools_compile_yynyyyyynyyyyynyynnyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynyynynyyyynnyy] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'
    make: *** [/home/lachlan/omega/source/include/toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 2

    It seems from what I can find on the web, the problem with 'findutils' is because there is no way to determine the mounted file systems.

    There are references on the web that say this can be worked around by disabling the error. An example is:
    https://github.com/StephanTLavavej/mingw-distro/blob/master/coreutils.patch

    However, I can't find the reference to "could not determine how to read mounted file systems" in any Makefile or configure file. Therefore it is difficult to determine a work around.

    Any ideas ?

    @Lachlan-Peter post the contents your .config file so I can test it. I build on Ubuntu 20 myself so I should be able to duplicate your issue.

    config.bin

    The config file is attached. I had to rename it from .config to config.bin so I could upload it. You will need to rename it correctly before using it.

    Thanks

    @Lachlan-Peter You config indicates you are building for the wrong device. ar71xx instead of ramips_mt76x8. Run make menuconfig, at the top choose the target device as Mediateck ralink MIPS, in Sub target menu choose MT76x8 based boards, Target profile set to Multiple Devices, in Target Devices choose Omega2+

    Then run make clean and make -j 8

    If you still have the issue can you run ls -la .config and post the output

    I don't know why the problem occurred with the config file. I was using the work computer for the last attempt when I downloaded the .config file.

    I am back on my main machine where I have checked each time that I am using Media Ralink MIPS/MT76x8 based coards/Multiple Devices/Onion Omega 2 & Onion Omega 2.

    However, things have deteriorated on my main machine. I cant even get as far as I did previously. Here are the exact steps I have done using a clean install

    $ git clone https://github.com/OnionIoT/source.git
    $ cd source
    $ sh scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh
    $ sh scripts/onion-minimal-build.sh
    ( Also tried adding $ python scripts/onion-setup-build.py but same result)

    Edit: /usr/include/asm-generic/int-ll64.h line 31
    from: extension typedef unsigned long long __64;
    to: typedef uint64_t __64;
    This prevents errors with __u64 different typedef's

    $ make menuconfig
    Target System : MediaTek Ralink MIPS default
    Subtarget : MT76x8 based boards default
    Target Profile: Multiple Devices default
    Target Devices: Onion Omega2, Onion Omega2+ default

       Added: 
               Development: gdb
                Libraries: libgpiod
   Save and exit

    $ make -j1 V=s

    Error is:
    checking whether sleep is declared... no
    checking for socklen_t... no
    checking for socklen_t equivalent... configure: error: Cannot find a type to use in place of socklen_t
    make[3]: *** [Makefile:46: /home/lachlan/omega/source/build_dir/host/sed-4.5/.configured] Error 1
    make[3]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source/tools/sed'
    Command exited with non-zero status 2
    time: tools/sed/compile#10.72#3.68#13.83
    make[2]: *** [tools/Makefile:154: tools/sed/compile] Error 2
    make[2]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'
    make[1]: *** [tools/Makefile:150: /home/lachlan/omega/source/staging_dir/target-mipsel_24kc_musl/stamp/.tools_compile_yynyyyyynyyyyynyynnyyyynyyyyyyyyyyyyyyynyynynnyyynnyy] Error 2
    make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/lachlan/omega/source'
    make: *** [/home/lachlan/omega/source/include/toplevel.mk:218: world] Error 2

    The .config file is attached:
    config.bin

    Previously 'make' went way past this point.
    Dont know why the compile is failing even earlier than it did before on a clean 'git'

    @Lachlan-Peter I built using your new config and it builds fine. I recall that when I upgraded my Ubuntu 18.x to 20 my build system broke and needed to install some additional stuff on my Ubuntu 20 system. I was able to identify the required stuff by working though the buld log. Alas I didn't record the steps because I have so many backups and images I never expect to do it again. If you send the entire build log I can probably work it out again for you.

    just run make clean, then make -j1 V=s > build.log, post the file and I will take a look.

    I didnt see this previously as the errors scrolled off the page, but it seems that the errors are in
    $ sh scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh

    I get the following warnings when running scripts/onion-feed-setup.sh:

    I tried addressing this with the following but it did not work:
    $ sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev libgnutls28-dev libldap2-dev libidn2-0-dev libssh2-1-dev liblzma-dev libnet-snmp-perl

    Im not sure if I need to provide these packages as architecture specific but I cant find mips versions of them

    @Lachlan-Peter These warnings are usual. I need to see your complete build log.

    make -j1 V=s > build.log
