configure failure

configure failure

[Christoph Egger]

Hi,

configure fails on NetBSD that there is no brctl.
NetBSD has no brctl, NetBSD has brconfig.

Sorry Christoph, the brctl test is going away (from configure at least).

There are some more Linux specific tests:
- ip
- uuid_clear in libuuid

Also the check for yajl_alloc in libyajl fails although I have libyajl 
version 1 installed. The check may be correct but configure shouldn't 
fail if version 1 is still supported.

Thanks for reporting, I will take care of those once the patch has
passed the test system (sorry for that, but I cannot test on so many
systems).

Since I guess you have it in /usr/pkg/, have you set PREPEND_LIB or
APPEND_LIB env variables before executing configure?

No, I have set EXTRA_LIB and EXTRA_INCLUDES.
I tried both PREPEND_LIB and APPEND_LIB and that works.

Oh and the integer type checks fail. Snippet from config.log:

configure:7600: checking for int64_t
configure:7600: gcc -c -I/usr/pkg/include -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:90: error: expected ')' before ';' token
conftest.c:91: error: expected expression before ']' token
configure: 7600: $? = 1

The unsigned integer type checks succeed.

EXTRA_LIB and EXTRA_INCLUDES is deprecated in favor of PREPEND_ and
APPEND_, which it's basically the same but allows a more fine grained
control.

This was added by default when running autoscan, I guess we can
disable those checks.

I'm going to fix this right now. Should I commit the output from
autoconf also with my patches Ian? I'm asking this because we use
different versions and the output is slightly different.

I also think configure should just check compile time requirements.
ip(1) is most likely not needed to compile and link xen+tools.

Indeed.

I don't mind whether you commit the output from autoconf and include
it in your patch.  It's probably easier for other people not to have
to read the autoconf output diff if your version is different to mine.

BUT please include a note instructing me to rerun autogen.sh.  Or I
might just possibly forget...

Ian.

Nevermind, I've installed the same version that you used, so changes
to configure script are minimal and related to the actual changes
being made in configure.ac.

configure failure

[Brandon Sho]

Current status of grub2 (October Snapshot)  on cygwin:

Error:   --> configure failure
Note: This same error was reported on cygwin last year !!

I would like to get it fixed now.   Here are the details:

----------------  Below are the last 2 lines output by the
---- grub2 configure script, before it commits harakiri.
checking whether objcopy works for absolute addresses... no
configure: error: GRUB requires a working absolute objcopy; upgrade
your binutils
----------------

The "upgrade your binutils" in the error message is certainly
inappropriate, becuase I have a reasonable new version.  To wit: GNU
objcopy 2.17.50 20060817.   And you shouldn't require anything newer
than that.

Is it possible that the configure script testing for absoluteness is wrong?
Or that cygwin can not handle absolutes (which is nonsense since thats
machine level).

Please look into this GRUB2  build failure.  I'll help you to setup a
cygwin system if you wnat to duplicate this.. or test for you here, if
you give me some clues.

I await your considered response.

Thanks,
   d.j.
