Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

Building for imx6q and as I run ltib, hal's configure runs and echos:

NOTE: Remember to create user haldaemon and group haldaemon before make install

NOTE: For development, use run-hald.sh and debug-hald.sh scripts in hald/ to

use programs (callouts, probers, addons) and device information files

from build directories. You may still need 'make install' to

install the udev rule to receive events from udev.

and then make runs, and does its stuff. But dies with several lines like:

gcc -g -O2 -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/hald-probe-input probe-input.o logger.o ../../../libhal/.libs/libhal.so -L/home/mark/freescale/src/ltib/rootfs/usr/lib -ldbus-1 -lusb /usr/lib/libusb.so

/usr/lib/libusb.so: file not recognized: File format not recognized

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

make[5]: *** [hald-probe-serial] Error 1

I'm sure due to parallel make, there's several of these all complaining about /usr/lib/libusb.so.

I've dug into hal's configure and Makefile (and little into hal.spec), but for the life of me, I can't see how it picks up /usr/lib/libusb.so. The valid (arm) one can be found from the -L and -l switches. Any idea on either how to get the extra libusb.so out of the gcc command, or at least why it ends up there?

ltib will set the gcc compiler to correct version. If you don't use ltib to build, you need set the gcc to correct path.

you can try "ltib -m shell". In the shell, you can run "gcc -v", then you can see the gcc version like

gcc version 4.6.2 20110630 (prerelease) (Freescale MAD -- Linaro 2011.07 -- Built at 2011/08/10 09:20)

You can try to build the package in the shell with the script.

That helps. But, my build environment has been subject to repeated changes, so I probably won't get a chance to really nail this down for a bit. Current SWAG is autoconf/configure or how they're called....

I also got similar error while building the HAL library using LTIB for the i.MX50 gnome profile. The PC host is Ubuntu 10.04 and the BSP L2.6.35_MX508_ER_1104 (ER6). May I know how to resolve this error?

Hi Peter,

have you tried the clean previous compilation and building again? move to the source code folder and type make clean, then build again. This has worked for me for the type of errors you are getting.

PeterChan — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 03:58:47 GMT

Hello Leo,

Thank you for your suggestion. I have tried it but no luck. I have even removed this folder "hal-0.5.10" and let ltib to extract and configure it again but still got the same error.

Re: Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

PeterChan — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:26:03 GMT

Finally, to workaround on this error I backup my original /usr/lib/libusb.so at my Ubuntu host machine, copy the target 's libusb.so from rootfs/usr/lib/libusb-0.1.4.4.0 to /usr/lib/libusb.so. Luckily it works! (Please restore the original /usr/lib/libusb.so after build!)

It looks the "hal-0.5.10" is referring to the wrong path for the target's libusb.so, perhaps something goes wrong with the configure or build scripts. I don't have the knowledge to fix the error. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Re: Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

jimmychan — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 06:54:41 GMT

you can try to add "-L/<absolute path of the library>" for the additional library path. for example, if your ltib folder is in /home/lucid/ , "-L/home/lucid/ltib/rootfs/usr/lib/libusb.so".

Re: Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

PeterChan — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 10:49:16 GMT

Unfortunately, the makefile is auto-generated from the configure script and I don't know how to modify it : (

Re: Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

jimmychan — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 12:00:33 GMT

sorry, I typo, -L should link to a lib directory, not a file.

so please try to add the LDFLAGS in the configure like this. ./configure LDFLAGS="-L/home/lucid/ltib/rootfs/usr/lib" .......

So you can modify the hal.spec file in ltib.

Re: Problems building with ltib: hal and libusb?

LeonardoSandova — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 16:12:29 GMT

Hi Pete,

Modify the Makefile, then create a patched recipe (spec) with the command

./ltib -p <package name> -m patchmerge

Now remove the rpm/BUILD/<package name>

and execute the ltib's triad prep-scbuild-scdeploy. That ltib way to patch autobuild tools and source code.
