[PATCH 0/1] gnu-config make sure we use perl-native

[Saul Wold]

From: Saul Wold <sgw@linux.intel.com>

During a world build I was getting a perl version mismatch between
the perl-native and the host perl. This change ensures that 
perl-native is used always.

Never mind this patch, Saul's brain is not functioning well today,
I completely missed the comment!

Back to the drawing board on why the miss-match is occuring in Config.pm 
then.

somewhere there is /usr/bin/perl referred may be a cross recipe ?

I've hit this issue this morning, and have filed a bug report:

  http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866

Not sure if it helps but at least it should be easy to reproduce.

Cheers,
Paul

I haven't checked if the OE .dev and OE core gnu-config are similar, but have a look at:

There are a few related patches to this floating around and I know Tom
did some work in OE.dev to make perl-native an early bootstrap
dependency.

I've been giving this some thought and given the various goals we have,
I think the long term best solution is going to be to place perl into an
isolated bin directory in sysroots, then for anything using really using
perl-native, add that directory to PATH. This is similar to what we now
do with the bootstrap toolchains in OE-Core. This way the dependencies
are deterministic and either perl is or isn't required but we don't
instantly need to build perl-native or run the risk of nasty loops in
the early bootstrap. Anything requiring perl-native would add the
directory to PATH, probably using a tiny class file.

The above patches still would make sense of course.

Cheers,

Richard

So, as background, there's a few cases of problems we have to deal with. 
  The ones Koen pointed out are fall-out from switching to making 
perl-native be part of the early bootstrap.

I would encourage someone to look at solving this problem in another way 
but I ended up finding that honestly, getting perl-native to build 
before we did almost anything else wasn't as hard as I feared (based on 
a previous attempt at doing it) and unless we can get things to the 
point where only perl needs perl-native (which should possibly be 
perl-cross) you can still hit some nasty corner cases.  And yes, doing 
this would mean changing the libperl-foo-native things into installing 
with host cpan into the TMPDIR which may or may not be easier said than 
done.
