[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/libpng: fix arm build

[Bernd Kuhls]

Bumping libpng to 1.6.44 with buildroot commit
583bb434ffe1eec0dbf6887dd719c3f41a6253e9
causes a build failure on arm due to the upstream removal of
the ASM implementation of ARM Neon optimizations.

Remove the corresponding configure options to fix the build error.

Thanks for the research, but I'm afraid this fix is also not correct.
The NEON code has not been removed. What has been removed is the
assembly-written NEON code, but they still have NEON code that uses the
gcc intrinsics, that gets enabled by --enable-arm-neon.

However, this code is only available for softfp and hardfp ABIs, and
not soft-float. So the above condition should be changed to:

ifeq ($(BR2_aarch64),y)
LIBPNG_CONF_OPTS += --enable-arm-neon
else ifeq ($(BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_NEON):$(BR2_ARM_SOFT_FLOAT),y:)
LIBPNG_CONF_OPTS += --enable-arm-neon
else
LIBPNG_CONF_OPTS += --disable-arm-neon
endif

should do the trick.

Thanks!

Thomas

Gentoo solved the problem by removing --enable-arm-neon, for details see
