Hi all,
I wanted to ask what would be a good way to fix an issue with cmake
find_program and the tools listed in ASSUME_PROVIDED. I checked against the
Warrior branch and it seems that currently find_program does not search the
hosttools directory for programs because HOSTTOOLS_DIR is not listed in the
CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH variable (in cmake.bbclass). This means if you call
find_program to get the path to the git binary, it will fail to find the
program. I've attached a minimal recipe and CMakeLists.txt to demonstrate.
If you attempt to compile the recipe, you'll see:
| CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:6 (message):
| No git binary found
If I modify the cmake.bbclass and add this directory to CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH,
it still fails because by default it wants to only search in the
subdirectories bin and usr/bin. If I then modify base.bbclass to generate a
"bin" symlink in the hosttools directory that points back to the hosttools
directory, it is enough to trick cmake. I also found a second solution where
if I instead add a default definition to CMAKE_PROGRAM_PATH to include the
root directory, this works also. I've included this second fix in the patch
I've sent.
Is this a good solution or is there something I'm missing here?
Thanks.
Kind regards,
Michael Ho
