Hi, I am using these in my local.conf with master branch of oe-core: DISTRO="angstrom-2010.x" MACHINE="beagleboard"
The build for 'bitbake glib-2.0-native' (or actually 'bitbake meta-toolchain') will finally reach a run.do_configure for 'package glib-2.0-native-1_2.28.8-r5: task do_configure: Started' which runs the "oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pkg-config" for auto build This leads to the following chain pkg-config(cross)->gnome-config->pkg-config->glib-config->pkg-config->... dashesy 21266 21265 21266 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh -e /home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/work/x86_64-linux/glib-2.0-native-1_2.28.8-r5/temp/run.do_configure.21265 root 21870 935 21870 0 1 01:56 ? 00:00:00 sleep 60 dashesy 22246 21266 22246 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/work/x86_64-linux/glib-2.0-native-1_2.28.8-r5/glib-2.28.8/configure --build=x86_64-linux --host=x86_64-linux --target=x86_64-linux --prefix=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr --exec_prefix=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr --bindir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin --sbindir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/libexec --datadir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share --sysconfdir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/etc --sharedstatedir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/com --localstatedir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/var --libdir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib --includedir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/include --oldincludedir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/include --infodir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/info --mandir=/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/man --disable-silent-rules --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-dtrace --disable-systemtap --enable-nls --enable-dtrace=no dashesy 22671 22246 22671 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pkg-config --exists --print-errors zlib dashesy 22672 22671 22672 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 sh -c gnome-config --libs zlib > /dev/null 2>&1 dashesy 22673 22672 22673 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/gnome-config --libs zlib dashesy 22674 22673 22674 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 pkg-config --variable=libdir glib dashesy 22675 22674 22675 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/glib-config --version dashesy 22676 22675 22676 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 pkg-config --variable prefix glib dashesy 22677 22676 22677 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/glib-config --version dashesy 22678 22677 22678 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 pkg-config --variable prefix glib dashesy 22679 22678 22679 0 1 01:56 pts/0 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/bin/glib-config --version I first saw this problem in angstrom-2008 in oe, then in angstrom-2010 in oe (both with pkg-config version 0.23), and now the same phenomenon in angstrom-2010 in oe-core with version 0.25 whcih is same as my local machine. It is easy to reproduce this without bitbake too First set the environment variables (PATH, PKG_CONFIG_* as I copied from the run_doconfigure file): export PATH="/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-linux:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/sbin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/sbin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux//bin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/scripts/native-intercept:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/scripts:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/bitbake/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/home/dashesy/bin:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/scripts" export PKG_CONFIG_DIR="/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/pkgconfig" export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR="/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/pkgconfig" export PKG_CONFIG_DISABLE_UNINSTALLED="yes" export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/share/pkgconfig" Then run either of these two comamnds: /home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pkg-config --variable=libdir glib or /home/dashesy/buildroot/oe-core/build/tmp-eglibc/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/pkg-config --exists --print-errors zlib Notice, this might crash or halt your system _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
