vmdk images with musl libc

vmdk images with musl libc

[Andre McCurdy]

It's currently not possible to build a vmdk image when TCLIBC = "musl"
due to the following dependencies:

  do_bootdirectdisk -> syslinux -> mtools -> glibc-gconv-ibm850

Creating an mtools .bbappend containing:

  RDEPENDS_${PN}_libc-musl = ""
  RRECOMMENDS_${PN}_libc-musl = ""

seems to be a workaround.

Does anyone see a better solution?

That should be fine for musl.

So would it be correct to add exactly those lines to the oe-core mtools recipe?

Yes.  Pretty much every dependency on glibc-gconv* should be guarded with a
libc override of some sort.  There's an open bug to give locale packages
virtual names so this isn't a problem anymore, I should do something about
it!

OK, just to be absolutely sure I understand, mtools RDEPENDS is currently:

  RDEPENDS_${PN} = "glibc-gconv-ibm850"

Potential solution 1:

  RDEPENDS_${PN} = "glibc-gconv-ibm850"
  RDEPENDS_${PN}_libc-musl = ""

Potential solution 2:

  RDEPENDS_${PN}_libc-glibc = "glibc-gconv-ibm850"

Which one is correct?

Solution 2 is more invasive, since the _libc-glibc over-ride would
mean RDEPENDS gets ignored completely for mtools-native, right?

Or RDEPENDS_${PN}_append_libc-glibc = " glibc-gconv-ibm850".

(which is what libxml2 and guile do)

I have already posted this as a patch along with my musl patchset for OE-Core ( which I need to send v2 addressing Phil’s feedback on the series )
here is particular patch
https://github.com/kraj/openembedded-core/commit/11c054232722c6a96fd54f40f664da4a754fd342 <https://github.com/kraj/openembedded-core/commit/11c054232722c6a96fd54f40f664da4a754fd342>

Yes, sorry I missed that!

It looks like you only updated one of the mtools recipes though. Could
you update both in v2?

I planned to do a separate patchset for GPL-2.0 recipes after main musl support is merged.
but this one I can include in v2 series.
