[Buildroot] perl packages: intrusion of host LDFLAGS

[Buildroot] perl packages: intrusion of host LDFLAGS

[Thomas De Schampheleire]

Hi Fran?ois, all,

We try to add and build the perl-encode package. Adding the package works fine
with the scancpan script, but the build fails:

"/home/tdescham/repo/contrib/buildroot/output/host/usr/bin/perl" "/home/tdescham/repo/contrib/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib/perl5/5.24.1/ExtUtils/xsubpp"  -nolinenumbers -typemap "/home/tdescham/repo/contrib/buildroot/output/host/usr/lib/perl5/5.24.1/ExtUtils/typemap"  Byte.xs > Byte.xsc && mv Byte.xsc Byte.c

Looking at the Makefile(s) generated from Makefile.PL in this package, there
is:
LDFLAGS =  -fstack-protector-strong -L/usr/local/lib

which seem to be flags taken from the host gcc installation: /usr/local/lib is
not correct anyway in Buildroot, and fstack-protector-strong is not known by the
Sourcery x86 compiler I was using in Buildroot.


I checked with another perl package (perl-net-dns) which is already included in
Buildroot, and found that its Makefile _also_ includes that /usr/local/lib
string, but it does not fail. I think this must be because it is not trying to
do C compilations.
Anyway, it gives me the impression that this needs to be handled in the perl
package infrastructure, rather than at module level.
I tried using a post-configure hook to remove the /usr/local/lib, but then
bumped into the fstack-protector-strong which is not generic and can thus not be
filtered out nicely.


Do you have any suggestion on how to proceed?

Thanks,
Thomas

Thomas,

First, `Encode` is a core module (ie. bundled/built with the Perl
distribution).
So, you don't need to build it as an external module.
Try the command : `perl -MEncode -e 1`

`perl-net-dns` is a pure Perl module (only *.pm files which need to be
copied on the target)

The command `grep -R BR2_STATIC_LIBS package/perl-*` find 15 Perl modules
which require C compilation.

I use `perl-digest-sha1` as example. The generated Makefile contains:
LDFLAGS =  -fstack-protector-strong -L/usr/local/lib
LDDLFLAGS = -shared
It seems that LDDLFLAGS is used but not LDFLAGS.

The current infrastructure works well when the module contains only one
Makefile.PL (at top level).

`Encode` contains also Makefile.PL in many sub-directories.
I think that options are not well transmited in sub-directory.

Fran?ois
