configure: Fixup cross compilation #25

Closed wak-google closed 4 years ago

Make sure we can build the native sdbus++ tool and use it with a cross compiled build to generate the example binaries for a target platform

https://github.com/openbmc/sdbusplus/commit/ad7e686b5563a146728aa9477f6e814dc0a3cbd4 helps with this issue but it doesn't really resolve it properly.

@wak-google the commit ad7e686 makes sure that if the user disables the sdbus++ tool, we should not build any example binaries using the sdbus++ tool, there by avoiding the build failure.And also,the build works fine if the sdbus++ app is enabled.

can you explain the issue a bit more ? i did quite not understand it.

The issue is that our software isn't very friendly to typical build environments where you have {build,host} targets. If you are targeting host, you will want to build all of the necessary native tooling targeting build that is needed to build all of the host software. sdbus++ is the only part of sdbusplus needed as a native build target, and typically the only piece not needed as a host dependency. It should therefore be possible to build sdbus++ without everything else and vice versa.

I split out the sdbus++ install as a standard python setuptools under f934ca3083f3a9a1a3f3a8aba1d85c317bf9d24f . Please let me know if this doesn't resolve any issues here as I think it does.
