[Buildroot] libintl.h: need a hint or two

[Buildroot] libintl.h: need a hint or two

[Robert Urban]

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to build a router/firewall system.  Thus I've chosen the ipsec-tools
and radvd packages.

These in turn have a dependency on flex.  The flex compile is failing with the
following error, when compiling "dfa.c":

In file included from flexdef.h:102,
                 from ccl.c:34:
gettext.h:26:22: error: libintl.h: No such file or directory

And it's right, there is no "libintl.h" under .../staging/usr/include/...

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems I can only get libintl.h by turning
on first UCLIBC_MJN3_ONLY and then UCLIBC_HAS_GETTEXT_AWARENESS, but if
UCLIBC_MJN3_ONLY is enabled, I get slews of other errors...

I guess I'm doing something wrong.  Can someone help?

thanks,

Rob Urban

Do you have the full build log available somewhere and the .config file
you are using ?

In general, when using a uClibc toolchain, gettext/libintl must be
compiled separatly from the C library by using the BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT
package of Buildroot. So, either flex should depend on it, or it's
because the configure cache has been loaded with incorrect
informations. Only the full build log can tell.

as you can see, gettext and libintl are auto-selected by my other choices:

(config-file):
BR2_PACKAGE_GETTEXT=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBINTL=y

The build log can be found at:
http://www.spielwiese.de/rob/Buildroot/build.log.gz

and the config at:
http://www.spielwiese.de/rob/Buildroot/config

After my last mail I thought I might have some problem with left-over files, so
I did a "make distclean" and did another build, but the result is the same.

I git cloned the buildroot environment on the 13th of May, and haven't updated
it since.

I would be grateful if you could have a look.

cheers,

Rob Urban

I'll answer my own question...


adding

	FLEX_DEPENDENCIES:=gettext libintl

to .../package/flex/flex.mk  seems to have fixed my problem.

cheers,
