Bug 4908

*** Bug 4899 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I'm looking into it. I just reproduced it and, apparently, even though PREFERRED_PROVIDER is set correctly for virtual/arm-none-linux-gnueabi-libc-for-gcc, virtual/libc and virtual/libiconv to point to external-sourcery-toolchain, the error still appears.

I have no workaround or fix yet... I'll keep you posted if I've got any news.

I opened up an issue for meta-sourcery as well fwiw, but it would be nice to get the oe-core variant working:

https://github.com/MentorEmbedded/meta-sourcery/issues/9

Can anyone reproduce the error below with the following settings in conf/local.conf?

TCMODE = "external-csl"
EXTERNAL_TOOLCHAIN = "/usr/local/arm-2009q1"
TARGET_PREFIX = "arm-none-linux-gnueabi-"

INSANE_SKIP_external-sourcery-toolchain-dev += "ldflags"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_linux-libc-headers = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_linux-libc-headers-dev = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-initial = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-intermediate = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}g++ = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}binutils = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-initial = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-for-gcc = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}compilerlibs = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_libgcc = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_eglibc = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libc = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libintl = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/libiconv = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_glibc-thread-db = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/linux-libc-headers = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/linux-libc-headers-dev = "external-sourcery-toolchain"
PREFERRED_PROVIDER_gdbserver = "external-sourcery-toolchain"

For the setup above, I am getting the error below:

Oh yeah, that error comes when just cloning meta-sourcery into my project, and trying to use based on the README from the meta-xilinx layer.

My first question is why your path includes 'dylan' while all your branches are master, but that's immaterial. I haven't seen the error you have when using meta-sourcery, but I likely haven't tested a toolchain that old in some time. Would you be able to link me to the sourcery toolchain you're using? Thanks.

Repaste from my first post:

Here you can find the toolchain I am using for this test:

https://developer.ridgerun.com/wiki/index.php/Code_Sourcery_ARM_toolchain_2009q1-203

Thanks, must have missed that. I'll attempt to reproduce.

The first potential issue I see is the layer order listed in your build summary. Layer order in BBLAYERS has importance, I'm afraid. The order is highest priority to lowest. When bitbake goes to locate a relative path, like 'conf/distro/include/tcmode-external-sourcery.inc', it will search the layers (technically, BBPATH, but the layers add themselves to it) in priority order, and use the first it finds.

To summarize: if the main meta layer is before meta-sourcery in bblayers, its tcmode will be used rather than meta-sourcery's. I'll look into renaming the tcmode for the sourcery layer to avoid this usability problem in the future. Try moving meta-sourcery before meta in BBLAYERS in your conf/bblayers.conf, wipe tmp, and see how that goes.

This is the bblayers config by the way:

# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \

Your TCMODE is wrong for meta-sourcery, use external-sourcery, not external-csl. Also all the preferences are unnecessary.

Interesting because those are coming from the direct copy/paste of the meta-xilinx README.

Could they please file a bug against them?

Those configs look relatively sane. The INSANE_SKIP shouldn't be needed, as the recipe handles that already, but it won't harm anything.

Merged to Master 1.5
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=d1b189f4769e215419fbfad40d9da52f59a820d0

Needs to be merged into Dylan also

Unfortunately, I cannot verify it because I switched to meta-sourcery.

I have been told that is the official Code Sourcery support, and the one in oe-core is just a reference, and should not be widely adopted.

FWIW, the changes from master are now in dylan for 1.4.2:

OK, thanks. Feel free to ping me on IRC any evening to give it a try, but it is probably easy enough to verify, and I assume you did, so all good then.
