[PATCH 1/7] sstate/relocatable: remove manual relocation of .pc files

[PATCH 1/7] sstate/relocatable: remove manual relocation of .pc files

[Ross Burton]

There's no need to manually relocate .pc files in relocatable.bbclass
as the path remapping in sstate.bbclass can do it, if we add .pc to
SSTATE_SCAN_FILES.

This removes some hardcoded behaviour, and puts absolute sysroot paths
into the .pc files instead of paths like ${pcfiledir}/../../include,
which makes it possible for pkgconfig to normalise and strip redundant
paths.

This also has the side effect of not forcibly turning .pc symlinks into
real files, which the sed was doing.

[PATCH 2/7] pkgconf: inherit pkgconfig

[Ross Burton]

pkgconf needs to know the value of PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR, so it needs to
inherit the pkgconfig class.

[Ross Burton]

Neuter the native build of pkgconf so that it doesn't default to looking
on the build host for .pc files, to avoid accidental host contamination.

[PATCH 4/7] pkgconf: minimise wrapper

[Ross Burton]

There's no need to look at the passed arguments and unset variables, we
want fdo's pkgconfig behaviour when called from the pkg-config wrapper
and this can be done by exporting PKG_CONFIG_FDO_SYSROOT_RULES.

[PATCH 5/7] class/pkgconfig: use pkgconf instead of pkgconfig

[Ross Burton]

The last meaningful change to freedesktop.org pkgconfig was in 2019, but
pkgconf is actively maintained.

Major distributions such as Fedora (and derivates), Debian (ditto), Arch
Linux, Buildroot, and Alpine have all moved to pkgconf already.

There's a subtle behaviour change between pkgconfig and pkgconf, whereas
pkgconfig appends the sysroot to PKG_CONFIG_SYSTEM_INCLUDE_PATH pkgconf
does not, so we need to sysroot-prefix those variables.

The protobuf change is because there’s some frankly horrifying sedding of .pc files which I’m surprised survived the recent changes to how pkgconfig.bbclass works.  There’s got to be a better way to do this.

The xmlsec failure looks similar.

I can look at these on Monday and try and sort out the mess.

I wonder if CMake is using unwrapper'ed version of pkgconf and not
filterning non sysrooted target paths. Try changing the CMakefiles.txt for
the concerned plugin to use
IMPORTED_TARGET and see if it helps

change
pkg_check_modules(GST
  REQUIRED gstreamer-1.0>=${GST_VERSION_REQUIRED})

to
pkg_check_modules(GST
  REQUIRED IMPORTED_TARGET gstreamer-1.0>=${GST_VERSION_REQUIRED})

in

https://github.com/qualcomm/gst-plugins-imsdk/blob/main/gst-plugin-mlaconverter/CMakeLists.txt

It might help.

[PATCH 6/7] pkgconfig: remove

[Ross Burton]

We're now using pkgconf, so drop the pkgconfig recipe.

-Subject: [PATCH] Backport g(s)size -> g(u)intptr atomics in builtin glib for
- gcc14 and clang15
-
-pkg-config 0.29.2 doesn't build on clang 15 and up and
-gcc 14 and up, due to -Wint-conversion now defaulting to being an error in
-both compilers. The old version of glib 2.36 bundled with pkg-config uses
-gssize/gssize as the return type of the g_atomic_pointer_* functions, which
-newer versions of gcc and clang complain (rightly) is not portable (as
-these are aliased to long and ulong, respectively).
-
-This was previously addressed in glib upstream commit c762d511 [1] by Alex
-Richardson on Dec 14, 2022. The attached patch backports Alex's change to
-glib 2.36 bundled with pkg-config, and also switches to the newer
-__atomic_* intrinsics from commit 2eb37622 [2] (Philip Withnall).
-
-This patch has been tested on clang 17 and only clang 17.

Re: [OE-core] [PATCH 1/7] sstate/relocatable: remove manual relocation of .pc files

Please don't effectively revert https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/meta/classes/relocatable.bbclass?id=a3f4e9ff55c7d9eba175e83eb6c99cf349a74432

The sstate relocation code creates loads of copies of files rather than
allowing us to hardlink them and is bad for performance. By making the
files relocatable, we don't have to do all the fixup handling in that
code and it is generally lower overhead on the system. I think I did
this to stop a lot of sstate objects needing relocations at all.

If there is a symlink issue, we should just make it skip those.

Cheers,

Richard
