configure in this case does a novel thing where it drops all additional compiler options from CC variable into CFLAGS which in OE's case include the options added by TOOLCHAIN_OPTIONS and then it does exactly same for LD as well, the problem starts when we miss the --sysroot options and ABI options which are part of CC variables usually in OE, in the end it assigns LD = CC but doesnt add newly separated CFLAGS to LDFLAGS hence the compile still works since all those needed options are getting into compiler cmdline but link step fails especially when using gold, since it does not find --sysroot option on cmdline it starts to complain about missing libraries and paths This shows up with clang more so because clang does not have implicit sysroot that it silently passes down to linker like gcc does when confgured with sysroot We see errors like arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-clang -c -I. -I/mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/work/armv7at2hf-vfp-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/diffstat/1.60-r0/diffstat-1.60 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__extern_always_inline=inline -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types -march=armv7-a -mthumb -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=neon -no-integrated-as --sysroot=/mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/raspberrypi2 /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/work/armv7at2hf-vfp-neon-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/diffstat/1.60-r0/diffstat-1.60/diffstat.c NOTE: make -j 16 arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-clang -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -o diffstat diffstat.o /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot open crti.o: No such file or directory /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot open crtbegin.o: No such file or directory /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot open crtend.o: No such file or directory /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot open crtn.o: No such file or directory /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot find -lgcc /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot find -lgcc /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot find -lgcc /mnt/home/kraj/work/angstrom/build/tmp-angstrom-glibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld: error: cannot find -lgcc (From OE-Core rev: ebee06dbf195b74791feb63c23a637324c1656e8) (From OE-Core rev: 9701f9551940814623ed58ef13e4c5bb29934ed6) Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Ross Burton <ross.burton@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with 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 layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
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:
bitbake: Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/ Mailing list: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
documentation: Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/yocto-docs/ Mailing list: yocto@yoctoproject.org
meta-yocto(-bsp): Git repository: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-yocto(-bsp) Mailing list: poky@yoctoproject.org
Everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository.
Git repository: http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/
Mailing list: openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
