Fix/work-around: https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/commit/?id=bb781f452299cfa6ec7fffd215b0af3149178f32 Sundeep, I suspect that part of what is provided by gcc, g++ is required but not all. Have you looked at what is used in rustup to support cross-compilation? https://rust-lang.github.io/rustup/cross-compilation.html We may have to change the gcc, g++ recipes to make sub-packages so that less of the toolchain is install. What you have works, no doubt, but it's more than the minimum required I suspect. 95425 8 randy.macleod 2023-04-21 18:45:44 +0000 Moved en masse from 4.2 to 4.3 by Randy. 95511 9 randy.macleod 2023-05-10 22:01:27 +0000 Sundeep, any comments about what part of gcc, g++ is really needed?

The g++ was analyzed earlier and it is required to run Cargo on target. The detailed analysis is here - https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/178207 95764 11 randy.macleod 2023-06-21 00:55:10 +0000 Sundeep, Thanks for checking on this. I still don't understand *why* we would need g++ even for cargo. Running an ubuntu-22.04 docker container, I see the following dependencies, none of which is g++ but cargo does seem to need gcc. It would be good to understand why. 22.04 ships rustc-1.65, fyi. $ docker run -it ubuntu root@dd3c5196093b:/# apt update ... root@dd3c5196093b:/# apt depends rustc rustc Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2) Depends: libstd-rust-dev (= 1.65.0+dfsg0ubuntu1-0ubuntu0.22.04.1) Depends: gcc Depends: <libc-dev> libc6-dev Depends: binutils (>= 2.26) Breaks: libstd-rust-dev (<< 1.26.2+dfsg1+llvm-0ubuntu1~~) Suggests: cargo (>= 0.65.0~~) Suggests: cargo (<< 0.66.0~~) Suggests: llvm-14 Suggests: lld-14 Suggests: clang-14 Replaces: libstd-rust-dev (<< 1.26.2+dfsg1+llvm-0ubuntu1~~) root@dd3c5196093b:/# apt depends cargo cargo Depends: libc6 (>= 2.34) Depends: libcurl3-gnutls (>= 7.28.0) Depends: libgcc-s1 (>= 4.2) Depends: libssh2-1 (>= 1.7.0) Depends: libssl3 (>= 3.0.0~~alpha1) Depends: zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Depends: rustc (>= 1.24) Depends: binutils |Depends: gcc |Depends: clang Depends: <c-compiler> bcc clang-11 clang-12 clang-13 clang-14 clang-15 gcc gcc-10 gcc-11 gcc-12 gcc-9 pcc tcc Suggests: cargo-doc Suggests: python3 95928 12 sundeep.kokkonda 2023-07-17 16:07:08 +0000 Hello Randy, Here g++ is not a direct dependency of cargo/rust. I tried a simple C program to compile and link w/o adding g++ and the linker failed with same errors mentioned earlier (x86_64-poky-linux/bin/ld: cannot find Scrt1.o: No such file or directory ... etc) The missing files are 'C runtime startup code object files'. There is an explanation about these files here - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16436035/whats-the-usage-of-mcrt1-o-and-scrt1-o With g++ package these files are installing on the image. In Yocto, the gcc RPROVIDES g++, so this dependency is added. 96247 13 randy.macleod 2023-08-11 19:35:47 +0000 I need to spend time on this to understand if we should be changing the gcc/g++ recipe to avoid RDEPENDing on g++ or if my understanding of cargo's requirement is simply not correct. 99737 14 randy.macleod 2024-09-26 18:13:36 +0000 I'm still not convinced that we don't have an opportunity to trim down or sanitize our rust/cargo dependencies since according the the Fedora 40 sRPMs, rust and cargo do not depend on g++: https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/40/x86_64/r/rust-1.77.0-1.fc40.x86_64.html https://www.rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/40/x86_64/c/cargo-1.77.0-1.fc40.x86_64.html Anyway, bumping to the next release since I don't have more time for this now. 104253 15 randy.macleod 2026-02-12 14:55:27 +0000 We should confirm that if we split up the gcc/g++ recipe to separate the linker parts from the compiler parts in 6.1.
