Cross-compilation issue with prdata #202

Closed ttmms closed 1 year ago

ttmms commented 2 years ago

I'm cross-compiling to ARM64 with yocto/bitbake using autotools, and running into issue with prdata. As I understood, it is an intermediate helper tool to generate source files during the build. So it should not be cross-compiled because it then leads to exec format error when the build continues and tries to run ARM64 prdata binary on x86 host. Do you have any suggestions how to fix configure/makefile to not cross-compile this specific binary?

Thanks!

Hi,

You will need to use meson/ninja for that. More information can be found here.

Alright, I suspected something like that! Unfortunately the required meson version is too high for my BSP, so I will have to find some hack in the meantime. Is meson >= 0.56.0 a hard requirement?

Probably, but you feel free to try with an older version. Can't you install a newer version of meson during the build? meson 0.56.0 was released in October 2020, so it's not exactly recent.
