Cross-compile in OpenEmbedded requires autogen.sh hack #106

Closed bkauler closed 3 years ago

bkauler commented 3 years ago

Just to let you know, I had to do a little hack to get the latest gftp (2021-04-07) to compile in OpenEmbedded.

OE is a cross-compile environment, that I use to compile packages for EasyOS, see latest release announcement if interested: https://bkhome.org/news/202104/easyos-dunfell-version-27-released.html

In OE, autogen.sh fails, and I have to pre-create two files. This is the function in the gftp recipe, that runs before running autogen.sh:

autogen.sh fail, hack...

do_configure_prepend() { mkdir -p ${S}/autoconf-m4 mkdir -p ${S}/autoconf touch ${S}/autoconf/config.rpath }

Previously, I was using 2.6.0b, September 2020, and had to do this:

20200921 autogen.sh reports this file missing. hack...

do_configure_prepend() { touch ${S}/config.rpath }

Note, the reason that I am updating is because 2.6.0b is broken. When connect to a new ssh2 site, there is supposed to be a popup asking to confirm yes/no this new ssh2 key, but that doesn't popup. So no way to confirm yes.

I will test the latest, and will raise that as a separate issue if still have that bug.

Those dirs should be automatically created by the autotools apps, but something is going on.

autoreconf -vi should work, but I know it doesn't always work, that's why autogen.sh fixes possible issues before running the apps in the correct order.

autogen.sh now pre creates autoconf, autoconf-m4, and config.rpath.
