With recent binutils I get: perf % make Makefile:668: No bfd.h/libbfd found, install binutils-dev[el]/zlib-static to gain symbol demanglin
That happens because bfd.h now contains: #if !defined PACKAGE && !defined PACKAGE_VERSION #error config.h must be included before this header #endif I've reopened a bug in the hope that this check will be deleted: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=14243 But in the meantime, the following patch fixes the problem Signed-off-by: Markus Trippelsdorf <mar...@trippelsdorf.de> diff --git a/tools/perf/Makefile b/tools/perf/Makefile index 35655c3..5604664 100644 --- a/tools/perf/Makefile +++ b/tools/perf/Makefile @@ -644,7 +644,7 @@ else EXTLIBS += -liberty BASIC_CFLAGS += -DHAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE else - FLAGS_BFD=$(ALL_CFLAGS) $(ALL_LDFLAGS) $(EXTLIBS) -lbfd + FLAGS_BFD=$(ALL_CFLAGS) $(ALL_LDFLAGS) $(EXTLIBS) -DPACKAGE='perf' -lbfd has_bfd := $(call try-cc,$(SOURCE_BFD),$(FLAGS_BFD)) ifeq ($(has_bfd),y) EXTLIBS += -lbfd diff --git a/tools/perf/util/symbol.h b/tools/perf/util/symbol.h index 1fe733a..50a0912 100644 --- a/tools/perf/util/symbol.h +++ b/tools/perf/util/symbol.h @@ -26,6 +26,7 @@ static inline char *bfd_demangle(void __used *v, const char __used *c, return NULL; } #else +#define PACKAGE 'perf' #include <bfd.h> #endif #endif -- Markus -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
