The error message contains the automake-native RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE: /mnt/build/poky/fixmestagingdirhost/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/automake-native/1.17/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/share/automake-1.17 it should have been translated to /mnt/build/poky/fixmestaginghost/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libtool-native/2.5.2/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/share/automake-1.17 via the FIXMESTAGINGDIRHOST marker. In a normal build sysroot-destdir/${RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE}/usr/bin/automake line 31 has /mnt/build/poky/fixmestagingdirhost/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/automake-native/1.17/recipe-sysroot-native replaced with the FIXMESTAGINGDIRHOST. Likewise in tmp/sysroots-components/x86_64/sysroots-components/x86_64/automake-native/usr/bin/automake. In my devtooled builds, sysroot-destdir/${RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE}/usr/bin/automake line 31 has not been changed and consequently neither has tmp/sysroots-components/x86_64/sysroots-components/x86_64/automake-native/usr/bin/automake and tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libtool-native/2.5.2/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/automake There are also no fixmepath* files in tmp/sysroots-components/x86_64/sysroots-components/x86_64/automake-native. All of the instances of automake (in automake-native's D and SYSROOT_DESTDIR, in the sysroot-components and in libtool-native's RECIPE_SYSROOT_NATIVE) is the same hardlinked file both in the normal and devtooled case. Not sure whether that is relevant. As far as I can tell, the SYSROOT_RECIPE_NATIVE -> FIXMESTAGINGDIRHOST transformation is done in sstate_hardcode_path, which is not called for recipes using externalsrc.bbclass because it sets SSTATE_SKIP_CREATION = 1. 100037 1 richard.purdie 2024-10-25 10:20:09 +0000 From IRC so the context is not lost: 11:08:37) olani: RP: When I run 'devtool modify automake' I get an error: (11:08:40) olani: RP: ERROR: Command '['rm', '-rf', '/mnt/build/poky/fixmestagingdirhost/tmp/work/core2-64-poky-linux/automake/1.17/devtooltmp-2l27ojdj/workdir/sources-unpack']' returned non-zero exit status 1. (11:10:15) olani: RP: I don't get that for 'devtool modify quilt', so I think it's something special with automake. I tried to figure out what was going on, but it was blocking me so I created the workspace by hand instead. olani olof 100038 2 ola.x.nilsson 2024-10-25 10:33:12 +0000 Trying to eliminate the hand-made automake workspace, I did devtool modify automake-native which worked, but a subsequent bitbake libtool-native still fails with the same error. The files in automake-natives SYSROOT_DESTDIR and tmp/sysroots-component/x86_64/automake-native are still not transformed with the marker.
