[Buildroot] What is the best way to deactivate XML Parser (expat) for ARM build?

[Arun Reddy]

I have been stuck for quite a few days on a problem dealing with the build
process failing because it cannot find the XML Parser library libexpat. I
was wondering is this even necessary for the build to complete? Can I
deactivate it? It seems my problem is very unique and no other people have
encountered it when doing an ARM build, so how did you guys deactivate the
XML Parser?

Thank you.

Hi Arun,

I've recently run into this too...  for some reason the expat dependency 
isn't properly built with the default at91sam9263_defconfig.  Until this 
gets fixed upstream, I've been issuing an "make expat" after the error 
first occurs, this moves the generated libexpat into the correct 
directory.. After which the build process will continue till the next 
error. (checking for GLIB - version >= 2.2.0... no)

Robert,

Thank you very much for that information! I was almost about to try to do a
build for at91sam9260 or a previous version just to be certain. I did make
expat, then after that finished I went ahead and proceeded with the build by
typing make. I got past the error above about libexpat, but I ended up
getting to an error saying:

Checking for XML::Parser...configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is
required for intltool.

Was this supposed to be resolved with make expat as well? Or does this
require a different package to be passed into make? Thanks again.

Hi Arun,

Not 100% on that one. I also had a finished build of 
at91sam9261ek_defconfig in the same buildroot directory, which may have 
solved that dependency.. Rebuilding now from a fresh install.

Thanks for the response. It looks like most people have been successful with
the 9260 and 9261 def configs... I think I am going to try to rebuild from
scratch again with an earlier reference board configuration and see what
happens. It might be better for me to wait until some of these 9263 kinks
are worked out.
