following on my earlier post, here's the specific issue i'm tackling. having found no existing OE recipe equivalent to a centos "perl-RPM2" RPM, i wrote my own. here's the info about that RH RPM on my fedora system, so i know what the final result should look like:
$ rpm -ql perl-RPM2 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/RPM2.pm /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/RPM2 /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/RPM2/RPM2.so /usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2 /usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2/Changes /usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2/README /usr/share/man/man3/RPM2.3pm.gz $ so, as before, track down the source at cpan: https://metacpan.org/pod/RPM2 and write a boilerplate recipe, "perl-rpm2", containing the following line since it's an older style recipe: inherit cpan_build fetching works fine: $ bitbake -c fetchall perl-rpm2 but here's the problem: $ bitbake perl-rpm2 ... snip ... | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_compile | Copying lib/RPM2.pm -> blib/lib/RPM2.pm | lib/RPM2.xs -> lib/RPM2.c | powerpc-poky-linux-gcc -m32 -mhard-float -mcpu=7400 -mno-spe --sysroot=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc -I/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/lib/perl/5.22.1/CORE -DVERSION="1.3" -DXS_VERSION="1.3" -fPIC -DRPM2_API=5004 -I/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/include/rpm -c -O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/work/ppc7400-poky-linux/perl/5.22.1-r0=/usr/src/debug/perl/5.22.1-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux= -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc= -DDEBIAN -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2 -pipe -g -feliminate-unused-debug-types -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/work/ppc7400-poky-linux/perl-rpm2/1.3-r0=/usr/src/debug/perl-rpm2/1.3-r0 -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux= -fdebug-prefix-map=/home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc= -O2 -o lib/RPM2.o lib/RPM2.c | In file included from /home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/include/rpm/rpmcli.h:9:0, | from lib/RPM2.xs:3: | /home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/include/rpm/rpmmacro.h: In function 'rpmExpand': | /home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/include/rpm/rpmmacro.h:249:2: error: expected declaration specifiers before 'RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED' | RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | /home/rpjday/oe/builds/msm_qemuppc/tmp/sysroots/qemuppc/usr/include/rpm/rpmmacro.h:260:2: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED' | RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ... big snip, lots more errors ... that looks like that macro isn't defined -- on my fedora system, it's defined as part of the "rpm-devel" rpm, which loads up /usr/include/rpm/ with all sorts of rpm-related header files. so if i pop back to the build directory for "rpm" and check "deploy-rpms", sure enough: $ rpm -qpl rpm-dev-5.4.16-r0.ppc7400.rpm warning: rpm-dev-5.4.16-r0.ppc7400.rpm: Header V4 DSA/SHA1 Signature, key ID e638bdb5: NOKEY /usr /usr/include /usr/include/rpm /usr/include/rpm/argv.h /usr/include/rpm/mire.h /usr/include/rpm/pkgio.h /usr/include/rpm/rpm46compat.h /usr/include/rpm/rpm4compat.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmbf.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmbuild.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmcb.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmcli.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmconstant.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmdb.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmds.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmevr.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmfi.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmgi.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmio.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmiotypes.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmlog.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmmacro.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmns.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmpgp.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmps.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmrc.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmspec.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmsw.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmtag.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmte.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmts.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmtypes.h /usr/include/rpm/rpmutil.h ... more ... so, later this morning, i'm going to take the obvious approach and install "rpm-dev" to see if that fixes things (and subsequently add that dependency to the perl-rpm2 recipe). does that make sense? it *seems* clear that to build perl-rpm2, i'll need the rpm-dev package installed. am i on the right track here? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
