[Buildroot] gsoap and code generation

[Buildroot] gsoap and code generation

[Ottavio Campana]

I have a web service implemented as a cgi served by lighttpd. Part of the sources of the cgi are generated by gsoap that takes as input some wsdl files and outputs some files in c.

I checked in buildroot 2016.08 and there is no support for gsoap. In google I found a proposed patch to add gsoap to buildroot here

http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2009-January/024777.html

Is there a more recent version of this patch?

I can also try to write my own script, but gsoap is a little bit tricky: there are some commands that need to be executed on the host, namely wsdl2h and soapcpp2, that generate the C code and than there's a bunch of libraries that need to be cross-compiled.

How can I write a script that compiles a tool for the host and the libraries for the target?

Thank you

Ottavio

I just searched the archive: this 2009 e-mail and your new e-mail are
the only occurrence of "gsoap", so no, there isn't a new version of
this patch.

You need two variants of the same package: a host variant and a target
variant, i.e host-gsoap (host variant) and gsoap (target variant).

The former installs the host utilities needed to generate code at build
time while on the host, and the latter installs the libraries
cross-compiled for the target.

Best regards,

Thomas

I know, but I have to use a weird webmail... even replying at the bottom is
done by hand....

The fact that I create two files, let's say gsoap.mk and host-gsoap.mk , already
lets buildroot know what to compile with the native compiler and what to build
with the cross-compiler?

Thank you
