Failure to find static binutils ArchLinux binutils 2.25.1 #4

Open archey opened 9 years ago

archey commented 9 years ago

We are working on building this tool into the archassault repo, to bring in the barf-project. Now per upstream Arch binutils is built statically, as /usr/include/bfd.h and /usr/include/dis-asm.h exist, however the setup.py is failing to see it.

Can you be of any assistance with this?

Do you have multiarch binutils? you may try uninstalling it and try using the regular bfd. Or just try the latest revision, I just add a patch that support multiarch on debian-like distros.

yeah I was using the version from pypi, but that its having issues like the git version from your master. Forgive my simpleton but which is the regular bfd?

ArchLinux doesnt uses a multiarch-binutils we have a static bintuils built from upstream and /usr/include/bfd.h exists, let me try with the latest git version.

archey commented 9 years ago

Ok I have tried with both the pypi versions 0.1.1 and the git version, it still does not find the bfd.h and dis-asm.h files in /usr/include. I have verified they do exist and are being built statically, I tried to use the --with-static-binutils option as well with both pypi version and git version. Here is a link to the version of binutils and the file list https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/binutils/files/

As you can see the bfd.h dis-asm.h are in /usr/include, please let us know if we can test anything else for you.

Any update on this?

@archey The way to fix it either fix the build script to find the right names or ln -s these files /usr/lib/libbfd-2....0.so -> /usr/lib/libbfd.so /usr/lib/libopcodes-2...0.so -> /usr/lib/libopcodes.so then it'll be able to find them

Ok @q6r Ill see what I can do to patch it and fix it
