Dear Tizen developers, Currently we are using two host environments, as you know, i586 and x86_64. But, with i586, there are many kinds of requirements and problems. So I’d like to fix host architecture to x86_64 only. Please note that, it’s for only cross build environment for arm target not i586 and x86_64 target.
This change is applied from Dec 12 to all Tizen:3.0:* and Tizen:* project. Please see the details below. Changes ======== fix host architecture to x86_64 when using qemu / qemu-accel / python-accel for arm target. It affects, - Tizen:3.0:Base and Tizen:3.0:[Mobile/Wearable/Common/IVI/TV] - Tizen:Base and Tizen:[Mobile/Wearable/Common/IVI/TV] Reasons ======== 1. dotnet requirement - They must use x86_64 qemu / accel to build their some packages such as coreclr 2. 64bit target requirement - It is necessary to use x86_64 qemu / accel for 64bit target. 3. Toolchain development - It’s hard to manage memory with i586 qemu / accel because Some toolchain technology such as LTO, Sanitizer family development needs large memory. 4. chromium-efl build failure - Same as 3). because sometimes it needs large memory to build. Issues & Solutions =================== 1. It doesn’t support i586 host - x86_64 qemu / qemu-accel / python-accel packages are installed to host, and they cannot be executed on i586 architecture. - Strongly recommended reinstalling x86_64 OS - For i586 GBS users, there is a guide using x86 qemu / qemu-accel / python accel. Please see the below guide - For i586 OSC users, I’m sorry I can’t help them. Please reinstall x86_64 OS. Change date ============ Next week (12/12~) GBS build guide for i586 GBS user =================================== 1. copy build conf to local directory - You can find build conf at the below download server, : e.g., for target-TM1, [hash]-build.conf.gz in http://download.tizen.org/snapshots/tizen/mobile/latest/repos/target- TM1/packages/repodata/ - Or you can use below build conf after building once, : /var/tmp/[userid]-gbs/[profile name in .gbs.conf].conf : [build root in .gbs.conf]/local/BUILD-ROOTS/scratch.*/[profile name in .gbs.conf].conf 2. modify build_hostarch like below ------------------------------------------------ … - %define build_hostarch x86_64 + %define build_hostarch x86 Macros: - %build_hostarch x86_64 + %build_hostarch x86 :Macros … ------------------------------------------------ 3. gbs build with local build conf ------------------------------------------------ $ gbs build -A [arch] -D [build conf path/name] ------------------------------------------------ - e.g., ------------------------------------------------ $ gbs build -A armv7l -D ./public_3.0_mobile_tm1.conf ------------------------------------------------ - Or you can add ‘buildconf’ in .gbs.conf like, ------------------------------------------------ [profile.profile name] + buildconf = [build conf path/name] ------------------------------------------------ Thanks, Chan Lee _______________________________________________ Dev mailing list Dev@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/dev
