compilation stops at compiling 'amcodec' #146

Closed wwortel closed 8 years ago

wwortel commented 8 years ago

This never caused a problem until a recent upgrade of my Debian8 host. Now the compilers detect an issue in cross-compilation. The log:

CROSS COMPILE Badness: /usr/include in INCLUDEPATH: /usr/include/amcodec cc1plus: internal compiler error: in add_path, at incpath.c:463

The .mk file of libamcodec, of which amcodec is a part, does do some settings of the include paths but a check performed during compilation now thinks something is critically not ok. Google-ing on this 'Badness error' did not give much insight in how to correct this. The error seems related to part of the tools not being aware that cross-compilation is called for. As this code is critical to the functioning of Kodi I am now stuck. HELP please!!! (completely rebuilding the toolchain and OE did not solve this)

What project and branch you are trying to compile?

wwortel commented 8 years ago

thanks; the compile is for Amlogic, M8 device. There was no problem before and now this 'Badness' has appeared after the Debian8 update on my amd64 based host. Probably not a coincidence is that in the .mk recipe and makefile of libamcodec 'HEADERS_DIR' is used. No other .mk or Makefile uses this in the entire project. Only libamcodec-45a1086/amcodec/Makefile uses HEADERS_DIR in an isolated way. Some tools, like glib, use xxx_HEADERS_DIR as a locally named version of the beast in their Makefile. In gcc there is an 'INSTALL_HEADERS_DIR'. Assume some pre-compile check triggers on this 'HEADERS_DIR' statement and now finds it not ok in cross-compilation. Tried to leave it out but then other errors are thrown although the 'Badness' disappears. I can try to rewrite the Makefile of libamcodec to circumvent the need for HEADERS_DIR' . Your suggestions are very welcome.

So this error happens when you compile libamcodec or kodi?

EDIT: Basically this error means that cross-compiler got an include directory that points to host header files (such as /usr/include), instead of a directory in cross-compiler sysroot.

tnx; the log indicates this is while compiling kodi/xbmc; there are parallel compilations going on. See added snippet from the log from where errors start to the end.

Having started completely from scratch, with fresh git checkout of your OpenELEC.tv and compiling for a M8, cannot reproduce the error. So am closing this issue; thanks for having given it attention.

Two unrelated other problems emerged, just for your information:

  1. the sources for libssh are currently not reachable (worked around that by putting it on my own website and change of URL in .mk),
  2. without unsetting Amlogic 'options' 'ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS' the attempt to compile all drivers fails on dvbhdhomerun (mended it by putting "" as ADDITIONAL_DRIVERS). From there on all compiled
