Hi,

On our OpensSuse 13.2 AB machine all builds failed at the task do_confiure for qemu_native 1.7:

I have to mention that libsdl-devel package is installed (v.1.2).

My guess is that cherry-picking 1ea36c8cd3b0d54621440962395d6cae6cb96e96 and b2a93c will fix this.
Comment 2 Ionut Chisanovici 2014-11-20 13:59:02 UTC 
Forgot to mention that the builds are for 1.6.2 daisy, commit: 30b8d9378b8260e452552b806610dc9b6fe0b69f

Comment 3 Anders Darander 2015-01-09 13:01:23 UTC 
I debugged the same issue on an internal build-machine just before Christmas. Well, I guess that it's the same issue, as you really need the config.log to be able to state anything. The bitbake error message is at least identical.


What I found was that libsdl 1.2 from OpenSuse couldn't find one symbol from libgpg-error (which was build as part of the build process). A quick test revealed that updateing libgpg-error from 1.12 to 1.5 solved the issue. Though, before submitting such a patch, I saw that Saul had already submitted a patch to upgrade libgpg-error to 1.16.

The steps to reproduce this was:

bitbake qemu-native
bitbake libgpg-error-native
bitbake qemu-native -c cleansstate
bitbake qemu-native

The first build succeeds, as nothing have build libgpg-error-native. This means that the host native libsdl links against libgpg-error from OpenSuse.

Building libgpg-error-native, and then rebuilding qemu-native fails, as the version of libgpg-error-native is too old.

I'd guess that we either would need to backport the update of libgpg-error (at least the -native version) to daisy et al, or patch the linking of qemu-native to search for the host libgpg-error prior to the one from the sysroot.
Comment 4 Saul Wold 2015-02-12 19:45:12 UTC 
This also occurs with Debian8, Anders has it correct. A little further 
amplification, libSDL depends on a version'ed libgcrypt (0.20), which in turn 
depends on libgpg-error, but it is unversion'ed, so if libgpg-error-native is 
built before qemu-native then the -native version which has the older API is 
preferred over the host's newer version.

We should add a release note that: libgpg-error-native needs to be cleaned 
first if that error appears, updating libgpg-error in a dot release could cause 
other issues.
