From an SDK, running a meson setup build without an explicit setup command can result in a native build when a cross build is expected. The problem is in meson-wrapper where it tries to detect whether a setup command is being used. The logic looks through all arguments for a command, and the first argument it finds that doesn't start with a - is treated as the command. This doesn't work for an implicit setup command if any option with a space-separated argument exists. In this case, the argument is incorrectly selected as the command, causing the setup command options for the cross build to be excluded from the command line, and thus a native build. Improve the logic by just looking at the first argument. If it is a known comand, then record it. Otherwise just assume it is the implicit setup command. Note that this fix does not address the possibility of a new meson command. Two new echo statements are included to help the user in case of trouble: ``` ~/git/weston-imx$ meson --warnlevel 3 --prefix=/usr -Ddoc=false -Dbackend-drm-screencast-vaapi=false -Dcolor-management-lcms=false -Dpipewire=false -Dbackend-x11=false -Dxwayland=true -Dsimple-clients=all -Dbackend-wayland=false -Dbackend-default=drm -Dbackend-rdp=false -Dtest-junit-xml=false -Dlauncher-libseat=false -Dimage-jpeg=false -Dimage-webp=false -Drenderer-g2d=true build meson-wrapper: Implicit setup command assumed meson-wrapper: Running meson with setup options: " --cross-file=/opt/fsl-imx-internal-xwayland/6.1-langdale/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/meson/aarch64-poky-linux-meson.cross --native-file=/opt/fsl-imx-internal-xwayland/6.1-langdale/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/meson/meson.native " The Meson build system Version: 0.63.3 ``` (From OE-Core rev: 1f30dedee80669475557d9de5f130b7a23eaa7ec) Signed-off-by: Tom Hochstein <tom.hochstein@nxp.com> Signed-off-by: Alexandre Belloni <alexandre.belloni@bootlin.com> (cherry picked from commit 9338bd66a3c9ab5cb781f2ee588306c5b31a3cb5) Signed-off-by: Steve Sakoman <steve@sakoman.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a pre-packaged build system and development environment which is used as a development and validation tool by the Yocto Project. It features support for building customised embedded style device images and custom containers. There are reference demo images ranging from X11/GTK+ to Weston, commandline and more. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK suitable for IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of BSP layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way. Many layers are available and can be found through the layer index.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation, the 'meta-yocto' layer which has configuration and hardware support components. These components are all part of the Yocto Project and OpenEmbedded ecosystems.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at https://docs.yoctoproject.org/
OpenEmbedded is the build architecture used by Poky and the Yocto project. For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website.
Contribution Guidelines
The project works using a mailing list patch submission process. Patches should be sent to the mailing list for the repository the components originate from (see below). Throughout the Yocto Project, the README files in the component in question should detail where to send patches, who the maintainers are and where bugs should be reported.
A guide to submitting patches to OpenEmbedded is available at:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded
There is good documentation on how to write/format patches at:
https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Commit_Patch_Message_Guidelines
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository (built using a tool called combo-layer), patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams:
OpenEmbedded-Core (files in meta/, meta-selftest/, meta-skeleton/, scripts/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
- Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
BitBake (files in bitbake/):
- Git repository: https://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/
- Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
Documentation (files in documentation/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/
- Mailing list: docs@lists.yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto (files in meta-poky/, meta-yocto-bsp/):
- Git repository: https://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto
- Mailing list: poky@lists.yoctoproject.org
If in doubt, check the openembedded-core git repository for the content you intend to modify as most files are from there unless clearly one of the above categories. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current git repository branch in question.
