Description Joshua Lock 2017-01-11 14:29:35 UTC

Trying to build meta-mingw with master of poky and SDKMACHINE = "x86_64-mingw32" I'm calling: bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk and the build fails in nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime_3.1.0.bb fails in do_configure with:

checking whether we are cross compiling... yes
checking for suffix of object files... configure: error: in `/srv/builds/poky/tmp/work/x86_64-nativesdk-mingw32-pokysdk-mingw32/nativesdk-mingw-w64-runtime/3.1.0-r0/build':
configure: error: cannot compute suffix of object files: cannot compile

Comment 1 Joshua Lock 2017-01-11 14:33:28 UTC

Note: same failure with SDKMACHINE = "i686-mingw32"

Comment 2 Juro Bystricky 2017-01-11 18:09:17 UTC

I sent out bunch of patches to the mailing lists in October 2016 (not merged)

https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2016-October/032306.html

which should fix the problem. The comment explicitly says tested with:


$ bitbake core-image-minimal -c populate_sdk

Comment 3 Joshua Lock 2017-01-11 21:45:25 UTC

I hadn't thought to check the list, especially not so far back. I can confirm those patches resolve this issue.

Comment 4 Juro Bystricky 2017-01-25 18:50:48 UTC

The needed patches were merged into meta-mingw:
