            Bug ID: 11071
           Summary: Building postgresql package on Debian 9.4 x64 for
                    armel target fails
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2018.02.2
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: major
          Priority: P5
         Component: Other
          Assignee: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org
          Reporter: dde at innovaphone.com
                CC: buildroot at uclibc.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm currently trying to build buildroot with the postgresql package.
I'm building on Debian Stretch x86_64.

The target configuration in buildroot is for armel:
BR2_ARCH="arm"
BR2_ENDIAN="LITTLE"
BR2_GCC_TARGET_ABI="aapcs-linux"
BR2_GCC_TARGET_CPU="arm926ej-s"
BR2_GCC_TARGET_FLOAT_ABI="soft"
BR2_GCC_TARGET_MODE="arm"
BR2_BINFMT_SUPPORTS_SHARED=y
BR2_READELF_ARCH_NAME="ARM"
BR2_BINFMT_ELF=y
BR2_ARM_CPU_MAYBE_HAS_VFPV2=y
BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARM=y
BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_THUMB=y

The configure script of postgresql throws an error for libxml2 (I build with
--with-libxml as a custom option) and libz (this is standard, not changed by
me):

output/host/lib/libz.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized
output/host/lib/libxml2.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized

Seems as if the host libraries are wrong.
If I replace these two libraries with the libs found in output/target/usr/lib,
the build finishes without an error.

I do not have this issue on Debian Stretch x86 (32bit).

Greetings,
Daniel

Thanks for this report. Could you attach the build log of the postgresql
package, from the extract step to the failure, and also the config.log file
generated by postgresql's configure script ?

Thanks!

The config.log is already attached (it's a zip file) and I attached the
build.log now.

--- Comment #5 from Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com> ---
Could you please build without your custom --with-libxml option ?

That's the reason for the failure. It ends up using xml2-config from your host
machine, which returns bogus linker flags, which breaks the build.

So it's basically your custom addition that breaks the build, the code in
Buildroot builds fine.

Please add:

POSTGRESQL_CONF_ENV += XML2_CONFIG=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/xml2-config

when enabling libxml2 support (i.e when you're passing --with-libxml). This
should solve your problem.

And please submit a Buildroot patch adding this, once everything works fine.
Thanks!

Patch for the postgresql.mk to support libxml2 if selected

This patch enables the configure option --with-libxml for PostgreSQL if libxml
is enabled.

Thanks for your reply! This solved the issue. I wouldn't have guessed something
like this, but I'm not really familiar to buildroot backgrounds ;)

I attached a patch with the changes of package/postgresql.mk and this patch
adds --with-libxml just if libxml is enabled. 
I hope this is ok like this ...

Greetings,
Daniel

Thanks for the patch, looks good, the only missing thing
is the dependency on libxml2, e.g.:

POSTGRESQL_DEPENDENCIES += libxml2

..and for consistency with the other options (or buildroot style) the
else branch:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBXML2),y)
POSTGRESQL_DEPENDENCIES += libxml2
POSTGRESQL_CONF_OPTS += --with-libxml
POSTGRESQL_CONF_ENV += XML2_CONFIG=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/bin/xml2-config
else
POSTGRESQL_CONF_OPTS += --without-libxml
endif

Yes, I figured out that the mail hasn't been sent although I thought so.
I didn't manage to get the sendmail config running with our internal SMTP
server so I sent the mail now manually through my private mail account.
I hope the format is correct.
