LPC3250, helloworld-image, configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs

Hello,

I'm trying to build helloworld-image for LPC3250 board and created 
local.conf and lpc3250.conf (files attached) using prebuilt toolchain 
and 'bitbake -v helloworld-image' give following error:

Looks like bitbake use ARM toolchain instead of X86 and of course it 
cannot run ARM targets on my laptop. Could somebody explain, please, how 
this mess with toolchains can be fixed?

By the way, I don't understand why bitbake build gcc-cross-initial when 
I use external toolchain. Maybe I've configured something wrong and OE 
tries to build it's own toolchain, but seems like config is correct 
according to manual.

Thanks in advance.

I think you should explore using the external-toolchain. This way you will 
have to set the PATH to the toolchain and make "external-toolchain" the 
default provider...

And for the old way have you seen this: 
http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/html/commonuse_prebuilt_toolchain.html?

To figure out why OE is building the toolchain you can do

bitbake -g helloworld

and then look at the generated depends.dot. Looking at slugos.inc you will 
need to set more ASSUMED_PROVIDED or go the external-toolchain route (which 
sadly has not much documentation...)

Yes, I've seen manual and seems like I did everything that was told
there. By the way I meant that I want to use exactly external toolchain.
I used LTIB building system earlier and wanted to use toolchain from there.

I've tested it (removed tmp dir and built from scratch): 'bitbake
helloworld' doesn't try to build toolchain, looks like it use toolchain
that I pointed. At least at the build log (I used -D) I can see
'CC=/opt/nxp/gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.7/arm-vfp-linux-gnu/../bin/arm-vfp-linux-gnu-gcc', 


build commands with this compiler and similar. Configure scripts found
toolchain too. But the way how toolchain is used is really strange,
strings like following are in many packages (binutils-cross-2.18-r8.1, 
gcc-cross-initial-4.2.4-r7.1 and maybe some other, that I haven't seen):
--------
checking for i686-linux-ar... ar
checking for i686-linux-strip...
/opt/nxp/gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.7/arm-vfp-linux-gnu/../bin/arm-vfp-linux-gnu-strip
checking for i686-linux-ranlib... ranlib
--------
or
--------
checking for i686-linux-gcc... 
/opt/nxp/gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.7/arm-vfp-linux-gnu/../bin/arm-vfp-linux-gnu-gcc
--------

I.e. some utils are X86-native, other are cross. In the first example 
above configure use ARM strip, though I've got strip on my Debian system.

This mess lead to error, that I described in first letter of this chain:
--------
checking for i686-linux-gcc... 
/opt/nxp/gcc-4.3.2-glibc-2.7/arm-vfp-linux-gnu/../bin/arm-vfp-linux-gnu-gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out
checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: cannot run C 
compiled programs.

bitbake -g helloworld

and then look at the generated depends.dot. Looking at slugos.inc you
will need to set more ASSUMED_PROVIDED or go the external-toolchain route
(which sadly has not much documentation...)

PS: Seems the documentation was not updated when new depends got introduced... 
*sigh*

Looks like error is in wrong ./configure parameter:  --host=i686-linux 
instead of --host=arm-oe-linux-gnueabi .
Now I'm trying to find, why --host was set to i686 and where it can be 
changed.

its a cross package so host being i686-linux (I suppose you are building
on i686 box) is ok. Look into the config.log error message should be in
there

Hm, "configure --help" says "--host=HOST cross-compile to build programs 
to run on HOST [BUILD]" and as I understand, I will run programs on ARM, 
so it should be 'arm-oe-linux-gnueabi'.

Anyway, even if host should be x86, instead of i686-linux-gcc it finds 
arm-vfp-linux-gcc and fails.

dont confuse pure cross with canadian cross. You are doing a normal
cross build here which means build machine is same as host machine.

Your problem is probably because you are overriding CC and friends
which could be confusing (already confused) configure even more.

Try setting CC_FOR_BUILD=<your native compiler on the build machine>

Thanks

Thank you for your help. I'm newbie in OE and crosscompiling at all and 
may confuse some things.

Just now I've tried to build some not so simple as helloworld but not so 
complicated as kernel -- bc calculator. And I'd like to say that during 
configure stage it sets:
--build=i686-linux --host=arm-oe-linux-gnueabi --target=arm-oe-linux-gnueabi

Builded bc works fine on my board and this is normal, not canadian, 
cross build.

its a target package being built on build machine. Your build was failing to compile a package which
will run on your host (similar to cross compilers) they are not same
cases. module-init-tools would be analogically similar to bc but not
module-init-tools-cross which is the package you reported failing.

I recently stumbled upon the same problems and in addition to the things above
(which I can all confirm) I had to add:

ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}libc-initial "
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}gcc-initial " 
ASSUME_PROVIDED += " gcc-cross " 

to keep bitbake from including glibc / gcc from the build queue.

Yes, you're right. Recently read documentation more attentively 
(http://docs.openembedded.org/usermanual/usermanual.html#recipes_variables) 
and understood that I was wrong.
Now appearing errors are more familiar to me and I hope soon image for 
LPC3250 will be built successfully and I'll report about it.

Successfully builded kernel for LPC3250, it works on the board. But 
trouble with module-init-tools (configure try to use CC (set to arm 
compiler) as x86 compiler and fails due to "cannot run C compiled 
programs") still remains -- I temporarily solved it by explicitly 
setting CC=gcc in module-init-tools-cross_3.2.2.bb, though I don't think 
that it is good solution.

Maybe somebody more experienced could advise, how this trouble can be 
solved in the right way? I'm ready to give any needed logs.
