Re: [Ltib] Building ltib fails on Ubuntu 09.10 and 10.04 Beta 1 (because of texinfo)

Hi Franz,

If you look at your build log it seems that rpm-fs is not actually installed:

Build time for rpm-fs: 561 seconds

error: cannot open Name index using db3 - No such file or directory (2)

The Savannah CVS version is okay and has a fix for this.   You should be able to fix your Freescale BSP by making sure you have this patch (or equivalent) applied:

Once you've applied this (or similar).  You need to clean up the failed build and re-install:

$ sudo rm -rf /tmp/rpm*
$ sudo rm -rf /opt/freescale

and then try the install from scratch (e.g re-run ./ltib)

If that works, please contact Freescale and let them know about this issue and ask them to include a fix (point them at this list if you like).

Hi Stuart,

Here is the full log, this time.

I am going to try the latest CVS and keep you informed.

Hi Franz,

Unfortunately I can't tell without the full log (please don't post this
to the list though, or me just now).  I suspect the "real" failure is
earlier in the log.

Before you do anything else would you mind downloading the latest CVS
from here: http://ltib.org/resources-download

Once you've done that try to build a platform (e.g imx27ads).  That
should work, I have installs running on Ubuntu 9.10.  After you try, can
you let me know the outcome.

Regards, Stuart

Hi,

Last year, I reported issues about building ltib on Ubuntu 09.10 (it works fine on 09.04 hopefully) because of texinfo. Since I had to go on the project, I delayed the investigation on this and went on with my 09.04 host. In december, Freescale issued a new PDK for the i.MX25 (L2.6.31_09.12.00_SDK_source.tar.gz). I naively thought that this new PDK would build fine on the newest Ubuntu versions.

I know that this mailing list is not for Freescale-specific PDKs but I would like to get your opinion (In //, I posted the issue on Freescale official support and I am waiting for an answert). I dug more deeply into the host_config.log file and found out that texinfo build fails as follows:

+ make
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/texinfo-4.8'

make[2]: Entering directory `/opt/freescale/ltib/usr/src/rpm/BUILD/texinfo-4.8/tools'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.

RPM build errors:
   Bad exit status from /home/franz/ltib/tmp/rpm-tmp.t1JvcU (%build)
Build time for texinfo: 66 seconds

Failed building texinfo
Died at ./ltib line 1380.

main::build_host_rpms:1380
 main::host_checks:1435
  main:542

Well, I tried to search in texinfo Makefile what's wrong but I must admit that the all-recursive is really obscure to me:

all: config.h
       $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) all-recursive

Thus make implicitly call make all and then calls all-recursive...

In the Makefile, all-recursive appears only in:
RECURSIVE_TARGETS = all-recursive check-recursive dvi-recursive \
	html-recursive info-recursive install-data-recursive \
	install-exec-recursive install-info-recursive \
	install-recursive installcheck-recursive installdirs-recursive \
	pdf-recursive ps-recursive uninstall-info-recursive \
	uninstall-recursive

Thus, I believe to understand that make cannot run since it does not find any "all-recursive:" entry???

Does anyone understand this issue (or has already faced this issue)?

Regards,
Franz
