RE: [Ltib] Building xorg-server; missing dependencies?

[Stuart Hughes]

Hi Alex,

I just tried the same thing (copy config/platform/mpc5121ads -> Savannah
CVS copy).  I then ran ltib to configure and build this.  It builds
libjpeg without any problem.

Processing platform: Freescale MPC512x based boards
=====================================================
using config/platform/mpc5121ads/.config
[snip]
Executing(%build): /bin/sh
-e /home/seh/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/tmp/rpm-tmp.60945
+ umask 022
+ cd /home/seh/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/rpm/BUILD
+ cd jpeg-6b
+ export
PATH=/home/seh/ltib_bsps/savannah_ltib/bin:/opt/ltib/usr/bin:/opt/freescale/usr/local/gcc-4.1.78-eglibc-2.5.78-1/powerpc-e300c3-linux-gnu/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/X11R6/bin

+ ./configure --enable-static --enable-shared --target=powerpc-linux
--prefix=/usr
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... yes
checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no
checking whether we are using GNU C... yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E
checking for function prototypes... yes
checking for stddef.h... yes
...

The key difference between this and your output is:

checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... no

You're says:
>> checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) is a cross-compiler... yes

It looks like you have some miss configuration as it should be finding
the build machines native C compiler.  

Let me explain a bit.   If you look at the spec file you'll see:

%Build
export PATH=$UNSPOOF_PATH
./configure --enable-static --enable-shared --target=$CFGHOST --prefix=
%{_prefix}
export PATH=$SPOOF_PATH
make

This is a bit unusual inasmuch that configure is done without spoofing
(e.g. gcc is not an alias for the cross compiler, or should not be).
>From my notes this is because:

Get libjpeg to cross compile by using UNSPOOF_PATH for ./configure and
SPOOF_PATH for make.  All this is necessary because ./configure calls
ltconfig which inturn calls config.guess which trys to compile and run a
test .c program using the first gcc in its path.

To get to the bottom of this, can you run the following:

$ ./ltib -m shell
LTIB> export PATH=$UNSPOOF_PATH
LTIB> which gcc
...
LTIB> gcc -v
...
LTIB> exit
$

The output will show which compiler gcc is.  It should be the native one
on your build machine.  For example mine shows:

LTIB> which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc

LTIB> gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
