Maybe we should merge the disabling the perl cross build for default builds as it is too error prone. In trunk we already do not cross build perl by default anymore (despite that the perl 5.10 perl has new, major cross build regressions,
anyway).

Oh, I just see this change is already in 7.0. Can it be the case that you are building a slightly older 7.0 release tarball? Can you re-try with the
branches/7.0 from SVN?

Lars: I had to revert that $CC change as that broke building T2 on T2! The
reason is that this $CC is used for configure checks, and when the cross
compiler is used the configure is usually completely messed up.

The best way to probably fix correctly cross building perl is to not write the
perl config from the T2 package selection and C library feature set as
opposed to let this perl supplied script check all this out (most test
try to run the resulting binary anyway, which is not suitable while
cross building anyway, despite if you would run the resulting executable
on the target hardware or an emulator - both not to appealing way that,
for example, scratch box is offering).

Yours,

Hi,

I had a similar problem when building perl on Ubuntu. I could fix this by
replacing hardcoded gcc by generic $CC in perl.conf. Although your
error looks different you might try with 'svn merge -c 26311' (for trunk), or manually replace gcc by $CC (or must it be \$CC, Rene?) in the confopt entry
in perl.conf.

regards,
Lars

Hi,

I have been tasked of constructing an installation of linux to be deployed
on a number of "semi-embedded" system. These are x86-based small
form-factor PCs booting off CF-Card.

I decided to give T2 a try as it looks like it can give very good control at what gets included in a build while not having to start really from the
ground up.

I have tried to build the T2 default embedded target on an installation of Ubuntu 7.10 (server edition). And it fails while building the perl package:

Here's the tail of what gets output to the console:

When checking after the abort I can find all of generate_uudmap.c,
generate_uudmap.o and generate_uudmap.

I have found references to Ubuntu having /bin/sh symlinked to /bin/ dash and that causing problems. I have relinked to /bin/bash, but this seems to be a
different cause.

Any hints? Need more information?

Ciao, MM
