libxml-parser-perl failure

[Saul Wold]

Nitin, Richard:

I was looking into the libxml failure today, and found a couple of 
different items that have changed in the newer version.  First is the 
addition of an arch_check function in the Extuils/MM_Any.pm and used
MakeMaker.pm. This check seems to use the archlib, which is set to 
${STAGING_LIBDIR}/perl/${PV} by poky, but expects the final directory to 
be the ARCH, which is why we get 5.12.2 for the Arch!

Why do we set archlib to the ${PV} instead of ${PV}/${target}


The next issue that I saw had to do with Errno.pm and another 
architecture check, this time the errors:

  ERROR from evaluation of 
/vol/1/sgw/builds/ppc/tmp/work/ppc603e-poky-linux/libxml-parser-perl-2.36-r0/XML-Parser-2.36/Expat/Makefile.PL: 
Errno architecture (x86_64-linux-thread-multi-2.6.34.7-56.fc13.x86_64) 
does not match executable architecture 
(powerpc-linux-2.6.37-rc5-yocto-standard+) at 
/vol/1/sgw/builds/ppc/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/perl/5.12.2/Errno.pm 
line 11.

This looks like another check that will need some work

Sau!

This seemed to be introduced by my change to wrap the perl binary with a
wrapper script. I've updated the wrapper to append to PERL5LIB rather
than overwrite it which I think is why these failures were appearing.
They change the lib search path to pass data around, ugly but we can
work around it.

We still need to check the perl binary does work ok with sstate
relocation after this.

Cheers,

Richard
