Hi, Building GNU tar (newest sources from git, with newest gnulib) on Android 4.3 fails:
CC wordsplit.o ../../lib/wordsplit.c:29:18: error: glob.h: No such file or directory ../../lib/wordsplit.c: In function 'wordsplit_pathexpand': ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1807: error: 'glob_t' undeclared (first use in this function) ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1807: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1807: error: for each function it appears in.) ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1807: error: expected ';' before 'g' ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1817: warning: implicit declaration of function 'glob' ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1817: error: 'g' undeclared (first use in this function) ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1823: error: 'GLOB_NOSPACE' undeclared (first use in this function) ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1827: error: 'GLOB_NOMATCH' undeclared (first use in this function) ../../lib/wordsplit.c:1874: warning: implicit declaration of function 'globfree' make[3]: *** [wordsplit.o] Error 1 The reason is that Android libc (Bionic) does not have the glob() facility. See https://www.gnu.org/software/gnulib/manual/html_node/glob.html . The fix is simple: use the replacement from gnulib. With this patch, the compilation succeeds and most of the tests pass: diff --git a/gnulib.modules b/gnulib.modules index 03e01f3..ee78e94 100644 --- a/gnulib.modules +++ b/gnulib.modules @@ -51,6 +51,7 @@ getpagesize gettext gettime gitlog-to-changelog +glob hash human inttostr
