meta-mono core-image-mono failing

meta-mono core-image-mono failing

[Chris Morgan]

Hello.

I'm trying to build core-image-mono for the bbb. Layers configuration:

Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.23.1"
BUILD_SYS         = "x86_64-linux"
NATIVELSBSTRING   = "Fedora-20"
TARGET_SYS        = "arm-poky-linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "beaglebone"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.6+snapshot-20140521"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "arm armv7a vfp neon"
TARGET_FPU        = "vfp-neon"
meta              = "master:8293f564685d0f587ab63a107285625dc4f98f1c"
meta-bbb          = "master:8318556523a747b7e9c97326bef14922a154e8a2"
common-bsp        =
"(detachedfrome7dc54e):e7dc54e66f4b5c2982a30bef5c67d734e9c759f5"
meta-yocto
meta-yocto-bsp    = "master:8293f564685d0f587ab63a107285625dc4f98f1c"
meta-mono         = "master:e2d2b8a518403a255822022c9e15f116c91b5dd1"

This is basically master of Poky and meta-mono.

It looks like the issue is due to autogen.sh assuming several files
are located in the current working directory, for instance on lines
102, 129 and 130 of autogen.sh there is no use of the $srcdir variable
before files like configure.in or mono/metadata/Makefile.am.in etc.

Not sure if something has changed on the yocto side to change this
assumption about where autogen.sh is being run from.

Look at your recipe(s).  The simple way to fix this is to change
'inherit autotools' to 'inherit autotools-brokensep'

You could also look at the recipe more deeply and figure out
where it assumes that ${S} == ${B} because of a recent change
in OE-core, this is no longer true when you inherit autotools.

Testing now with autotools-brokensep in mono-3.4.0.inc.

I did look a bit and it looked like there were several places where
source and build were assumed but I'm not confident that it would be
easy to figure out what to fix and then create a patch for it but I
could look at that and feeding it back to the mono guys. Let me do
that and see how I make out.

Strange. I've been building pretty regularly recently with daisy on
Ubuntu 12.04 without problems.

There have been issues with Linux Mint, x64 hosts, and host
installations of Mono, but I thought I had finally addressed those. It's
starting to feel a little like a game of whack-a-mole.

Can you provide me your local.conf and I'll have a look at what happens
here with your hashes for  bbb on a Fedora box.

Thanks,

Alex

After this email if you still want to go down the path of getting my
configuration we can do that. I'm just using git.pokylinux.org and
meta-beaglebone from Koei with some minor changes in my local.conf to
enable systemd and force my own packages into any image that is built.

The attached patch fixes things for me here which matches what Gary
mentioned. I did not test 3.2 build, only the 3.4 one, I presume the
issue in autogen.sh is present for the older branch/version as well.

I also emailed the mono guys and Zoltan replied saying that autogen.sh
has to be run from within tree. I suspect this could be corrected by
use of $srcdir in autogen.sh but I'm not sure if I'm super
enthusiastic about going down that route if the mono guys aren't.

I might well be missing something here, and I wouldn't disagree with the
your comment that there could be issues with the Mono build (I
understand there's work in progress to improve it) but I'd like to
understand why this is an issue with Fedora / Beaglebone and I've not
seen the issue with Ubuntu 12.04 / { qemu, imx6, rpi, clanton }

I'll run a build of mono-native on Fedora for qemu as a smoke test, and
see what happens.

Alright, simpler steps to reproduce, no meta-beaglebone involved or
any local.conf file changes, just the bblayers.conf addition of
meta-mono:


git clone git://git.pokylinux.org/poky.git poky_mono_test
cd poky_mono_test
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-mono
. oe-init-build-env build
nano conf/bblayers.conf (add meta-mono)
bitbake core-image-mono

The reason you don't see this is because you are building on daisy,
but Chris is building on master. I doubt it it has something to do
with the host distro.
Specifically master enables separate build dir by default in
autotools.bbclass whereas daisy doesn't.

Daisy has these:

which enable only the core recipes and then marks the broken ones, but
master has one more:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=69b6eaca3d9b635e8a61a0fdbd814b558e91901d


which breaks other layers with recipes that don't work with B!=S and
they should either get fixed or use autotools-brokensep, so I guess
Chris's patch is the way to go for now...

Thanks Stefan.  > daisy was my suspicion but that seemed unlikely so I
have a clean Fedora build underway with daisy / meta-mono /
core-image-mono to prove it to myself as a first pass before trying master.

As I do this I am thinking it would be nice if there were canonical
images of Yocto-X.Y available to run up on Amazon/Azure/elsewhere to
prove these things out in the background without mashing my SSDs.

I am guessing somebody has done this already but I hunted around Amazon
and couldn't see any community images that looked useful (?)

Similarly (and I confess I haven't yet had time to understand
AutoBuilder as I should) presumably there are a number of daily builds
in the cloud, on each of the supported host platforms, for each of the
advertised layers, and if they fail then maintainers are kicked? Is that
how things work? If so, can you advise how I request to add meta-mono to
the kick-list?

Cheers,

Alex

Given Miguel's latest response
(http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/mono-devel-list/2014-May/041542.html)
I've applied your patch to master until such time as somebody is in a
positon to look at out of tree support for the mono build.

Its a nice idea but right now we struggle to test and keep OE-Core
building, let alone trying to define tests for every other layer :(. The
amount of time I and others spend on this for OE-Core is phenomenal.

If we had more people and resources, sure but right now there is no such
setup.

Cheers,

Richard

I can well imagine Richard! I've often wondered how the team(s) manage
to keep everything running along so smoothly.

Like you I'm very time constrained here unfortunately, but I like the
idea of having some baseline VM images ready to go on Amazon or Azure as
a starting point for testing at least.

If such a thing hasn't already been done I might try to put those
together. If I do get around to it I'll you know (if of interest)

Cheers,

Alex

FWIW we do have the build-appliance image and that is able to run builds
within it. It sounds like you just need a slightly different version of
that (with the UI removed).

Thanks Richard. That sounds useful.

So, I have the build-appliance image running in VMWare. I was also
looking at the design document here,

https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Build_Appliance_Design

The appliance image seems quite large, at 4GB for the vmdk or so
uncompressed, in the context of aiming for a 100MB download?

Looking at the f/s it seems most of this is because the sources have
already been downloaded and the native recipes built?

3.5G    ./build/downloads
1.3G    ./build/tmp/work
2.1G    ./build/tmp
5.5G    ./build
5.6G    .

I guess there's a tradeoff here between getting started building images
within the appliance quickly and the size of the appliance download?

Then, looking at the running virtual machine, it seems that if I do
something like bitbake build-appliance on my own Ubuntu 12.04 host I
would generate an appliance targetted at qemux86-64?

What I'd believe I'd like to have is ready-to-run images of the vanilla
host installations ( Fedora, OpenSUSE, Debian, and Ubuntu, x32 x64),
prepped with needed Yocto dependencies and a baseline daisy tree, to
verify Yocto build in those host environments.

I don't quite understand what elements of "my" build host actually get
pulled into the appliance image that is built (I suspect none?)

So I wonder if there's a way with the appliance to build something that
I can then sit on top of those vanilla host installations (possibly with
a separate block store image somewhere in AWS containing all the
downloads so I don't have that replicated across the images).

Does that make sense? Can you offer any advice on how to achieve that?

Thanks,

Alex
