[Buildroot] [PATCH] uclibc/arm: don't install ldd.host and ldconfig.host if !HAVE_SHARED

[Axel Lin]

ldd.host and ldconfig.host will be built only when HAVE_SHARED=y.

This fixes below build error when
 # BR2_BFIN_FLAT is not set
 # ARCH_HAS_MMU is not set
 UCLIBC_FORMAT_FLAT=y

Which Buildroot configuration triggers this?

I'd prefer not to grep into the uClibc configuration, and instead find
out which Buildroot configuration triggers this problem and find a
proper solution to it.

Thanks,

Hi Thomas,

Below is my settings.
I'm pretty new in using buildroot, below is my settings.
I hope my description here is clear.

$ make menuconfig

mainly with below settings:
ARM, arm7tdmi, uClibc,
BR2_USE_MMU is not set

$ make uclibc-menuconfig

ARCH_HAS_MMU is not set
UCLIBC_FORMAT_FLAT=y
ARCH_HAS_NO_SHARED=y
When ARCH_HAS_NO_SHARED=y, HAVE_SHARED is automatically set to "not set".

Then I got the build error.

I think the root cause is because ldd.host and ldconfig.host will only be built
when HAVE_SHARED=y.
However, in package/uclibc/uclibc.mk, it always install ldd.host and
ldconfig.host if $(BR2_BINFMT_FLAT) is not set.

As soon as you customize the uClibc configuration with
uclibc-menuconfig, then we cannot support all the possible build
failures that you will get.

So the solution to this problem is to improve the ARM noMMU support in
Buildroot, making sure that:

 1/ The uClibc configuration is automatically adjusted appropriately.

 2/ The uClibc tools are not installed.

BR2_BINFMT_FLAT should be set when ARM noMMU is used, because I don't
think ELF binaries are supported on ARM noMMU.

I know Gustavo is working on improving the ARM noMMU, hopefully he will
post patches soon.

May I ask why config BR2_BINFMT_FLAT depends on BR2_bfin || BR2_m68k
I ask this becuase I'm going to build for arm7tdmi which is noMMU.
And config BR2_BINFMT_FLAT is invisible now due to the dependency.

Good to know this.
And thanks for your reply.

That's because nobody ever worked on ARM noMMU support in Buildroot, so
things need to be fixed.

Best regards,

Thomas

Hi,
I'm still not able to build a FLAT executable.
Just to let you know If there is patch for supporting noMMU available
on the maillist,
I'm happy to test it.

Or is there other projects support building applications for noMMU?
I tried uClinux-dist but got build error. ( And uClinux-dist seems
does not update for a long time.)

Thanks,
Axel
