[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/busybox: add patch to silence build errors

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/2] package/busybox: add patch to silence build errors

[Vincent Fazio]

As part of pkg-kconfig, the .config file gets regenerated after fixups.

When Busybox is built with per-package directories enabled, the
toolchain is not available for Busybox's makefile to determine compiler
capabilities so certain calls will fail and emit errors.

For now, assume the following are true:

Buildroot will not use GCC < 4
  Skip a call to cc-ifversion to avoid the following error

  /buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.35.0/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: /buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc: No such file or directory

Target system is linux
  Skip a call to -dumpmachine to avoid the following error

  make[2]: /buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc: Command not found

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/2] package/busybox: redirect errors to /dev/null

[Vincent Fazio]

When busybox.mk gets read, pkg-conf gets executed to determine the
location of relevant libraries.

When Busybox is built with per-package directories enabled, a number of
errors related to executing pkg-conf occur because directories have not
been synced to provide pkg-confg at the point when it executes.

These errors occur in stages prior configuring the package and are of
little consequence so redirect the errors to /dev/null.

I don't get this. If pkg-config is executed before the per-package
directories are created... then how can pkg-config find libtirpc?

I just did a build of the following configuration:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a9=y
BR2_ARM_ENABLE_VFP=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_BOOTLIN=y
BR2_PER_PACKAGE_DIRECTORIES=y
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX_SHOW_OTHERS=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBTIRPC=y
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

and I couldn't see the errors (but perhaps I missed them). Could you
provide an example configuration, the details of the error, and a
rationale as to why not finding libtirpc is not a problem when we in
fact expect to find it?

Thanks!

Thomas

pkg-config gets executed multiple times because the commands that get built up to generate the config file looks like so:

(yes "" | PATH="/mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin:/mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/sbin:/home/vfazio/.pyenv/plugins/pyenv-virtualenv/shims:/home/vfazio/.pyenv/shims:/home/vfazio/.pyenv/bin:/home/vfazio/.local/bin:/home/vfazio/.asdf/shims:/home/vfazio/.asdf/bin:/home/vfazio/.cargo/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/vfazio/.xes-python-apps/bin" CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -Os -g0 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=1 "`/mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config --cflags libtirpc`"" CFLAGS_busybox="`/mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config --libs libtirpc`"" /usr/bin/remake -j7 -C /mnt/development/buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.35.0 HOSTCC="/usr/bin/gcc" AR="/mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc-ar" NM="/mnt/development/buildr

so they get executed prior to the directories being synced.

It works subsequently after sync because those paths are always reevaluated at runtime.

My configure and build log:

https://pastebin.com/w8WAGE53

for the pkg-config issues you should see:

/bin/bash: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory
/bin/bash: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/pkg-config: No such file or directory

You'll also see other errors such as:

/mnt/development/buildroot/output/build/busybox-1.35.0/scripts/gcc-version.sh: line 11: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc: No such file or directory
make[2]: /mnt/development/buildroot/output/per-package/busybox/host/bin/x86_64-linux-gcc: Command not found

but those are covered by the previous patch

We did look at this together with Vincent back then.

The issue is that pkg-config is called as part of BUSYBOX_CFLAGS and
BUSYBOX_CFLAGS_busybox, which are part of BUSYBOX_MAKE_ENV, which will
eventually be part of the environment when calling one of the kconfig
frontends, like 'config' (when applying the configuration), or
menuconfig et al.

At that time, only parts of the PPD have been gathered, and not the
parts needed to configure and build, so host-pkgconf is not rsynced to
the busybox PPD.

Then later on, when we do build, host-pkgconf is rsynced, so we do get
the libtirpc CFLAGs and LDFLAGS, and the build does succeed.

It is quite difficult to follow all the trails. Idealy, we'd want to
provide a proper rsynced PPD for configurators, maybe, but in this case,
it is superfluous, and finding the right spot was... not trivial.

So, with Vincent, we concluded that:
  - the error messages are benign
  - but hey are confusing
  - the simplest solution to get rid of them is to silence the call to
    pkg-config

That's because of:
    20: BUSYBOX_CFLAGS = $(TARGET_CFLAGS)
    82: BUSYBOX_CFLAGS += "`$(PKG_CONFIG_HOST_BINARY) --cflags libtirpc`"

which are then passed as:
    91: CFLAGS="$(BUSYBOX_CFLAGS)"

Vincent, could you come to fix that? ;-)

But perhaps we should not pass those CFLAGS during the "configurator"
step?

Hm, it's a bit annoying to patch Busybox for this, especially with a
patch that most likely cannot be accepted upstream because it's really
related to Buildroot details.

Do we have a better solution?

Yes: we should be relatively confident that we can convince busybox that
they wil never be built against a gcc < 4 nowadays, no?

scripts/gcc-version.sh is used to get the gcc version. This is in turn
used to test whether gcc >= 4.00, in which case -Wold-style-definition
is added to CFLAGS.

That is is only one case where this is needed. gcc 4.0.0 was release in
2005-04-20, 17+ years ago now. This is probably the oldest gcc version
one may reasnably expect to compile current code aganst. nowadays...
