[Buildroot] Problems when compiling gnutls and gst-plugins-base on arm (panda)

[Shawn Ferris]

Hey Guys

I've checked out '2012.02-268-g5ee4614' of buildroot and I'm having
two issues. I've included NetworkManager which requires gnutls. gnutls
fails to find libgcrypt, but I see that it's built when looking in
output/build. I suspect that it's not finding the pkg-config stuff,
which I can probably hack around, but I excluded it for now to move
on. (just thought I'd mention it.. I'll do more investigation and
report back unless someone already knows the answer)

My bigger issue is that I can't get gst-plugins-base to compile. I get
the errors:


  CC     libgstpbutils_0.10_la-pbutils-enumtypes.lo
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:1386: Error: immediate value out of range -- `movt ip,-32640'
{standard input}:1513: Error: immediate value out of range -- `movt ip,-32640'
make[6]: *** [libgstvideo_0.10_la-tmp-orc.lo] Error 1


I've tried different toolchains and the linaro-2012.03 works fine, but
I have other issues when using that one to. (libgcc_s.so doesn't seem
to be copied to the build and systemd fails on boot) I've also tried
compiling with big endian and that works, but wont boot. (fails to
find init, even though it exists)

Any help?

Appreciate it as always!
Shawn

Strange, it works here.

Sounds like a compiler bug. What architecture / toolchain is this?

The linaro toolchain (and systemd) are very recent additions, so there
might indeed be some issues with it. I had a quick look, and our
external toolchain expects these libraries to reside inside the sysroot
(which on linaro is detected as arm-linux-gnueabi/libc), and libstdc++
is in the lib dir instead.

I'll have a closer look to see how we can fix it.

This is btw only an issue with 2012.03 as they moved some files. 2012.02
is OK, so perhaps you could give that a try?

Certainly.. I just kicked off the build and I'll let you know..

Thanks Peter!

That was it.. and this time gnutls compiled just fine too.. must've
had something orphaned from another build on that one!?

Thanks again for your help Peter!
