Recipe [patch] modification to generate a static library instead of shared library

Recipe [patch] modification to generate a static library instead of shared library

[Ravi chandra reddy]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 405 bytes --]

Hi All,
          I am using meta-oe to generate libxml2 library using AARCH64
compiler. However it generates shared object [.so] library.

is there any setting in recipe to modify this, to generate static library
[instead of shared library]

if so, please point me to the recipe/file to change.

if not, i will try to add it as patch, plz point me to appropriate files to
change

Thanks
RC

Is the ${PN}-staticdev package getting generated for you?

Its possible you have conf/distro/include/no-static-libs.inc included
in your build (bitbake -e would tell you).

If so, you could remove that include or set:

DISABLE_STATIC = ""

as it would currently be set to this if that include file is included:

DISABLE_STATIC = " --disable-static"

We tend not to build static libraries as they're a waste of space/time
on the most part.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi,
       in local/local.conf it [bitbake core-image-minimal] fails, if i use
libxml2-staticdev

  # Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2-staticdev"

================================== i get the following
errors==================================
ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in:

===================================

if i use as below, there is no issue. however there is no .so

# Specify the 32-bit libraries to be added to all images
IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2"

i ran

bitbake -e | grep static-libs

and all the "no-static-libs.inc" are commented [#]

Thanks

Hi,
    Let me thank you guys for quick reply.
let me put my  email in correct steps

1. below local/local.conf changes makes bitbake fail.

                            IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc
lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit libxml2-*staticdev*"

error:=============
================================== i get the following
errors==================================
ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/
build/tmp/work/zcu102_zynqmp-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/
1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.17721
ERROR: Task 9 (/home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-
image-minimal.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 2144 tasks of which 2143 didn't need to be
rerun and 1 failed.
===================================

2.  without staticdev changes [in local/local.conf], it
[bitbake-core-image-minimal] goes through and it builds [but there is only
.so [dynamic library] generated]

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2"


3. i ran the search and found that all "no-static" lines are commented

bitbake -e | grep static-libs


and all the "no-static-libs.inc" are commented [#]

Thanks

Re: Recipe [patch] modification to generate a static library instead of shared library

[Matthew McClintock]

Do you have the staticdev packages in your TMPDIR? E.g.

tmp/work/cortexa15t2hf-neon-rdk-linux-gnueabi/libxml2/2.9.4-r0/deploy-ipks/cortexa15t2hf-neon/libxml2-staticdev_2.9.4-r0_cortexa15t2hf-neon.ipk

Can you expand on what you're trying to accomplish? Are you trying to
build a static binary? I don't think you actually are trying to
install libxml2.a on the running image are you? Maybe you really want
an SDK with a sysroot populated with static libraries so you can link
against them?

Hi,
    I am trying to generate LibIIO [open source by Analog Devices], however
there is dependancy on Libxml2.

problem with Libxml2, it is dependant on *python*-lib, libdl, libz, libzma,
libm

for some reason with Yocto built Libxml2.so, i am encountering "undefined
references error", which i am unable to solve [inspite of linking possible
dependant libraries],

if i get could the Libxml2.a, it packages all "REQUIRED ELEMENTS", so i
assume, there WONT be any error in linking Libxml2 in Libiio.

======in short=========
Libiio ---linking---> Libxml2*.so* [yocto based] ---errors-> undefined
referneces to .....

======in short=========
Libiio ---linking---> Libxml2.a [yocto based] --> SHOULD solve and install
libiio

for me to generate Libxml2.a, i need to make/ask yocto build LIbxml2.a for
me. i tried putting libxml2-staticdev  in the local.conf file and it gives
me build error.

all i want is Libxml2.a which is to be used by Libiio.so/Libiio.a to be
used by an application [called in user space of AARCH linux]


Thanks

For libiio there is a recipe in meta-openembedded [1]. Are you using that
one?

Hi Andrea,
               gr8, Thanks for this information. i wasnt' aware someone did
create a libiio in yocto.

anyways, i reached my goal using other means of cross compiling individual
libraries and building libiio finally. it was a pain, but i learnt a lot in
between.

Thanks
RC
