1 Hi everybody!
2
3 At the moment myself and some other ppl are working on getting Gentoo on
4 the Openmoko Freerunner. Thanks to TuXXX and crossdev i was able to get
5 a basic build toolchain with glibc-2.7, gcc-4.3 and binutils-2.18 up and
6 running quite fast. Till now i was able to cross-compile almost
7 everything most things needed extra care (i have quite a huge overlay
8 for crosscompiling packages by now but i don't want to release it just
9 yet because i want to clean things up a bit before i'll let somebody
10 else see this). The only thing i'm still fighting with (something i
11 wanted to merge earlier but wasn't able to convince it to compile so i
12 pushed it back but now i need it for enlightenment) is perl (and thus
13 libperl). The first time i tried it wasn't even able to get over the
14 configuration hurdle (damn i HATE this hand-written pita-configure
15 script of perl) but with my second try i decided to have a look at how
16 they are doing it at openembedded (did you realize that
17 openembedded-bitbake files look almost the same as ebuilds?) and i was
18 able to make some progress. Now it starts to compile, it uses my
19 build-hosts' perl-executable to compile the perl-stuff... But sooner or
20 later the build always fails. The first problem i hit was that if i
21 don't comment out the following lines in
22 /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.8/x86_64-linux/Errno.pm the build fails with the
23 given error message:
24
25 "$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'}" eq
26 "x86_64-linux-2.6.25-hh1" or
27 die "Errno architecture (x86_64-linux-2.6.25-hh1) does not match
28 executable architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'})";
29
30 When i comment these three lines build goes a bit further but failes
31 with the following error message afterards:
32
33 Making Filter::Util::Call (dynamic)
34 Writing Makefile for Filter::Util::Call
35 make[2]: Entering directory
36 `/root/openmoko/tmp/portage/sys-devel/libperl-5.8.8-r2/work/perl-5.8.8/ext/Filter/Util/Call'
37 Can't load '../../../../lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so' for module
38 File::Glob: ../../../../lib/auto/File/Glob/Glob.so: wrong ELF class:
39 ELFCLASS32 at ../../../../lib/XSLoader.pm line 70.

42 line 61.

44 line 61.
45 Compilation failed in require.
46 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
47 make[2]: *** [../../../../lib/Filter/Util/.exists] Error 9
48
49 The steps i tried are the same as mentioned in the README-file in the
50 Cross-Subdirectory of the unpacked perl-tarball:
51
52 unpack it (plus do some additional patching) using portage
53 execute make patch and make perl manually (i want to make it work
54 manually before i actually try to make it work using portage...)
55
56 I guess the error message means that something is linked against Glob.so
57 that should not be linked against it. What kinda wonders me is the fact
58 that it's complaining about ELFCLASS32 but if i am correct the
59 arm-processor uses a 32-bit architecture?? If it would complain about
60 ELFCLASS64 i would know what the problem is, it linked something against
61 my build-hosts libs.
62
63 Anyway maybe I'll attach my config-file for perl, maybe somebody else is
64 able to make sense of all this and enlighten me.
65
66 Thanks in advance,
