configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

[naveennadhv]

I was trying to build the package using "fluent-bit_git.bb" , using "armv7at2hf-vfp-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi". got a response

"ERROR: oe_runmake failed"

More exact error message is

I successfully build the package of fluentbit_0.7.2 using the recipe file from "

layers.openembedded.org

" Anybody please help me to solve this issue

[edsiper]

1. would you please share the content of your fluent-bit_git.bb ?
2. would you please describe how do you plan to use Fluent Bit (use case) ?

[naveennadhv]

my fluent-bit_git.bb file

`SUMMARY = "Data Collector tool for Embedded Linux"
DESCRIPTION = "Fluent Bit is a data collector tool for Embedded Linux, \
it support different kind of inputs and built-in metrics.              \

inherit cmake`

Use Case: Log Aggregation towards fluentD

[edsiper]

are you using XBEE input plugin ?

[naveennadhv]

TCP/Stdin Will be our input plug-in and Forward will be our output plugin,

[edsiper]

Since I cannot test Yocto/Poky stuff at the moment, let's take a workaround:

• I pushed some changes into Fluent Bit where now if you disable FLB_REGEX from build time, all parsing and regex stuff is disabled (including libonigmo which is having issues in your build)

please rebuild with: cmake -DFLB_REGEX=Off ...

[naveennadhv]

thanks @edsiper for the quick response, I will try as per your suggestion

[naveennadhv]

@edsiper It's done' now its made the build without those errors. all is fine except some warnings from bitbake( I think which can be neglected ). Thanks!

[edsiper]

awesome.

just one more question, which specific compiler/toolchain you were using ?

[naveennadhv]

My version of gcc recipes are as follows(result of bitbake -s)

gcc                                    :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-cross-arm                          :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-cross-canadian-arm                 :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-cross-initial-arm                  :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-crosssdk-initial-x86_64            :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-crosssdk-x86_64                    :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-runtime                            :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2                          
gcc-sanitizers                         :linaro-5.2-r2015.11-2      

My believe is it can be, https://releases.linaro.org/components/toolchain/binaries/5.2-2015.11-2/arm-linux-gnueabihf/

[edsiper]

thanks, If I remember correctly I saw a similar problem with an old toolchain.

Closing this issue for now.

Sorry for bumping a closed Issue but I am facing a quite similar problem while trying to cross compile for Yocto. The first part was successfully bypassed with @edsiper workaround but then I got stuck with something similar

Although the environment is set to use the correct toolchain, the make system seems to be using x86_64

checking host system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Is this a cmake/make issue or couldit be a configuration setting I've missed?
