alsa-utils compilation errors

Hello,

I've built with success a kernel 3.15.4 and busybox for ARM 920t (S3C24XX),
that worked fine for my Micro2440 SDK board, and now I'm trying to build
openjdk-jdk9-b36 into the 2015.02 buildroot version using the patches provided
by Xerxes Ranby at his Rpi buildroot's version:
https://github.com/xranby/rpi-buildroot

I've found that there are several unknown types, related to alsa-lib
dependencies, that appear in different source files from openjdk. But they are
present on header files that aren't copied to the sysroot in the output of
buildroot.

In order to determine if the problem is related only to openjdk compilation,
I've tried to compile alsa-utils getting as a result the same kind of errors.
Then I searched for alsa-lib previous bugs, without finding any related to this
kind of error, before opening this one.

I attach the errors obtained during compilation of alsa-utils. Some words are
in spanish, but I think is so clear for anybody to understand the error
reasons.

I expect that fixing this problem with alsa headers it will be possible to
compile alsa-lib dependent code without errors due to this library dependency.


Thank You and Best Regards

Juan

Can you post the defconfig you use, so we can try to reproduce it?

I'm sorry for the delay as other matters nedded my attention. I'll attach
defconfig file from kernel and alsa-lib.

The Buildroot .config you provided does not have alsa-utils enabled, so it is
not possible that you got this error.

Also, can you confirm that you get the error after a full "make clean all"
cycle?

I've just tried building the following defconfig, which includes the amidi
alsa-utils, and it builds fine:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-full-2015.02.tar.bz2"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_3_18=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_LOCALE=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG is not set
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_INET_RPC=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CXX=y
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_UTILS=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_UTILS_ALSACTL is not set
# BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_UTILS_ALSAMIXER is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_ALSA_UTILS_AMIDI=y
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

Can you give more details?

Also, please reproduce with the official Buildroot, without any patches. We
cannot debug modified versions of Buildroot for which we don't have the source
code.

Hi Thomas, First of all thank you for your help.

About the alsa-utils option, forgive me if it wasn't unchecked but I've copied
the config several days after my post and I'm not able to remember now when it
was modified for last time, I'll check and try to recompile again after a "make
clean all".

About openjdk and patches, I've included the openjdk package following the
usual way (and the manual) to the official buildroot distribution, and the
patches are applied only if openjdk is compiled.

As I said, I'll try again and will post here the result as soon as possible.

Hi Thomas,

Yesterday I've made a rebuild with success after a "make clean". First I built
alsa-lib and alsa-utils, then openjdk with success too (but with an
installation error after compiling that I'll try to solve shortly in time).

I attach the right buildrooot and kernel configs here. When the installation
problem of openjdk could be solved, and the binaries tested, if possible in two
different ARM SoC (ARM920t and Cortex A7), I'll send/post the patches and
makefile to the contrib address/URL.

Thank you for your help

Juan

The Buildroot configuration you provided builds just fine (I've only disabled
the kernel, but it's irrelevant to the alsa-utils problem). And you also say
that you managed to build alsa-utils successfully.

So: what is the bug ?

As you said, at last it worked fine. I can only say that now it works and
before not. I think the problem was related about make clean command, that
didn't cleaned properly the compile environment.

The first time I compiled alsa was in order to compile openjdk, and I've
applied both at once. This time I've compiled first buildroot with alsa, then I
added openjdk after.

Sincerely, I thought that it was a bug because after applying a make clean
command and try to compile only alsa didn't worked fine, but finally it
worked... and worked without removing competely the buildroot environment I'm
using since the begining.

If you can't reproduce it and don't consider it as a bug, then is not a bug and
probably was caused after introducing a new package not in the
official/mainstream release.

Problem no longer reproducible. Might have been caused by a lack of a full
rebuild (i.e "make clean all").
