[ptxdist] Current build breaks: host-util-linux-ng 2.17 and fallocate tool
Hi while setting up a VM machine from scratch for ptxdist development, we found then following problem: fallocate.o: In function `main': /home/cschlote/src/ptx/ptxdist-projects.git/ptxdist-kp-prj/platform-kp-mcb2-32/build-host/util-linux-ng-2.17/sys-utils/fallocate.c:162: undefined reference to `fallocate64' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: *** [fallocate] Error 1 make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/cschlote/src/ptx/ptxdist-projects.git/ptxdist-kp-prj/platform-kp-mcb2-32/build-host/util-linux-ng-2.17/sys-utils' make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/cschlote/src/ptx/ptxdist-projects.git/ptxdist-kp-prj/platform-kp-mcb2-32/build-host/util-linux-ng-2.17' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cschlote/src/ptx/ptxdist-projects.git/ptxdist-kp-prj/platform-kp-mcb2-32/build-host/util-linux-ng-2.17' make[1]: *** [all] Error 2 make: *** [/home/cschlote/src/ptx/ptxdist-projects.git/ptxdist-kp-prj/platform-kp-mcb2-32/state/host-util-linux-ng.compile] Error 2 This problem was already reported by Mike Frysinger: http://groups.google.com/group/linux.kernel/browse_thread/thread/f8ec94b7f4eddfdb There seem to be also some other problems with util-linux-ng/libblkid: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/util-linux/+bug/426027 I think the problem started with the update from 2.16.1 to 2.17 some days ago. The usual workaround is to omit 'fallocate' from the build right now - at least regarding other postings on the net. Patch for that is WIP. As an immediate workaround you can touch/create the resulting fallocate tool by hand. The tool isn't required anyway right now. -- Carsten Schlote c.schl...@konzeptpark.de konzeptpark.de -- ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de

Hi The problem can be avoided with the attached patch. It configures the host built to omit fallocate from the build. Carsten commit-2c422d1 Description: commit-2c422d1 -- ptxdist mailing list ptxdist@pengutronix.de

I pushed patches to do this and update to 2.17.1 (released today :-)). Please test if it works now.
