Description California Sullivan 2017-01-26 19:20:26 UTC

These three symlinks are broken:

It looks like they need to point two directories higher. The following works, for example:

./../../../../../../../../work/x86_64-linux/openssl-native/1.0.2j-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf

Is there functionality that is missing or did you just notice the links being broken?

Comment 2 California Sullivan 2017-01-27 17:59:30 UTC

Yes, I'm working with a project that uses openssl and looks one of those files. I end up getting the following error:

| WARNING: can't open config file: /home/clsulliv/yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/shim/0.8-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf
| Unable to load config info from /home/clsulliv/yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/corei7-64-poky-linux/shim/0.8-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/lib/ssl/openssl.cnf

Comment 3 Jussi Kukkonen 2017-02-08 09:20:57 UTC

Current status:

* I sent a patch that kept the current approach and just fixed the immediate issue (see "Fix make_relative_symlink() for RSS" on mailing list)

* Richard wrote a WIP patch of his own which expects recipes (that need relative symlinks in sysroots) to inherit relative_symlinks.bbclass, this is in poky-contrib "rpurdie/wip-rss" branch, see http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib/commit/?h=rpurdie/wip-rss&id=66fd96de606622aab76e9490e5ef158d50f3c8a9

* I've run a world build with the above branch and the sysroot symlinks all seem correct to me now. I did not find any other recipes needing the class than openssl, bzip2 and fontconfig that are already handled in the branch. I do not understand the gcc-cross related parts though.


Reassigning to RP as I don't know if there's anything more I can do: Let me know if there is.

(following patch makes sstate error for absolute symlinks too)
