following on my earlier post, here's the specific issue i'm
tackling. having found no existing OE recipe equivalent to a centos
"perl-RPM2" RPM, i wrote my own. here's the info about that RH RPM on
my fedora system, so i know what the final result should look like:
$ rpm -ql perl-RPM2
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/RPM2.pm
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/RPM2
/usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/auto/RPM2/RPM2.so
/usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2
/usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2/Changes
/usr/share/doc/perl-RPM2/README
/usr/share/man/man3/RPM2.3pm.gz
$
so, as before, track down the source at cpan:
https://metacpan.org/pod/RPM2
and write a boilerplate recipe, "perl-rpm2", containing the following
line since it's an older style recipe:
inherit cpan_build
fetching works fine:
$ bitbake -c fetchall perl-rpm2
but here's the problem:
$ bitbake perl-rpm2

that looks like that macro isn't defined -- on my fedora system,
it's defined as part of the "rpm-devel" rpm, which loads up
/usr/include/rpm/ with all sorts of rpm-related header files.
so if i pop back to the build directory for "rpm" and check
"deploy-rpms", sure enough:
$ rpm -qpl rpm-dev-5.4.16-r0.ppc7400.rpm

/usr/include/rpm/rpmte.h
/usr/include/rpm/rpmts.h
/usr/include/rpm/rpmtypes.h
/usr/include/rpm/rpmutil.h
... more ...
so, later this morning, i'm going to take the obvious approach and
install "rpm-dev" to see if that fixes things (and subsequently add
that dependency to the perl-rpm2 recipe).
does that make sense? it *seems* clear that to build perl-rpm2, i'll
need the rpm-dev package installed. am i on the right track here?

ok, here's my wildly-uneducated record of what is going on:
first, unpacking and configuring perl-RPM2 source (and running XS
processor) gives me the source file "lib/RPM2.c" (which is what is
generating the first build error above), which includes the header
file:
#include <rpm/rpmcli.h>
next, wander over to the qemuppc sysroot, to usr/include/rpm/, to
check out that header file, which contains (among other things):
#include <popt.h>
#include <rpmmacro.h> <----- there
#include <rpmtypes.h>
#include <rpmtag.h>
#include <rpmps.h>
#include <rpmrc.h>
#include <rpmfi.h> /* XXX rpmfileAttrs */
#include <rpmts.h> /* XXX rpmdepFlags *
next, in the same directory, examine rpmmacro.h, which contains:
#if defined(_MACRO_INTERNAL)
#include <rpmiotypes.h>
... snip ...
at this point, inclusion is now conditional on _MACRO_INTERNAL, so
move on to rpmiotypes.h, which contains:
#include <rpmutil.h>
and finally visit that header file in the qemuppc sysroot to find:
#if __GNUC__ >= 4
#define RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED __attribute__((__sentinel__))
#else
#define RPM_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED
#endif
where we find the definition of that macro.
now, is it my imagination, or could a lot of this compile-time error
be resolved by simply defining the macro "_MACRO_INTERNAL" for the
build? and if so, what is the proper way to add that setting to the
compile step for this recipe?
would i use the standard EXTRA_* variables? or are there
perl-specific variables one would use when build CPAN recipes? or am i
totally off-track here?

NOTE: by convention, OE perl recipes follow debian naming so this should be
librpm2-perl_1.3.bb
Obviously, in your own layer you are free to do what you want, but it will
require the name change if you want it to go into meta-perl.
For dependencies, since you are looking at CentOS rpms, you can look at,
e.g. [0] to see the DEPENDS (BuildRequires:) and RDEPENDS (Requires:).
This would have shown you the need for rpm-devel.
I also use metacpan, e.g. [1], to look for dependencies in perl modules. It
also has a very slick ElasticSearch JSON API that you can use to
automatically query data [2].
To pass in the extra variables, for 'inherit cpan' you probably need to set
EXTRA_CPANFLAGS [3] or for 'inherit cpan_build' EXTRA_CPAN_BUILD_FLAGS [4],
e.g. [5].
You might want to file a documentation bug for the next release?

i had noticed the naming convention after i started writing those
recipes, it won't be hard to go back and rename. i hadn't planned
submitting anything upstream, but maybe after all that work, i might
as well, so no one else has to go through the same effort.

true enough ... it didn't take long to realize i needed the rpm
devel package installed for this.

i'd noticed that as well ... still playing with it.

except i'm not sure what those variables are for ... it *appears*
they're for Perl-related settings, not simple toolchain-related
settings. i will have to read further to understand precisely what the
purpose of those variables is.

not sure what this means, i'm still trying to debug this issue
before i try to submit anything official. :-)
