Re: [vpp-dev] Build error when trying to cross-compile vpp

2017-12-11 Thread Dave Barach (dbarach) 
Look in config.log and work out the name of the compiler. Fix in 
.../build-data/platforms/x86_64.mk or override from the command line.

Hi Dave, it doesn't work. After make boostrap, I did:

make PLATFORM=x86_64

  No cross-compiler found for platform x86_64 target x86_64-mu-linux; try 
make PLATFORM=x86_64 install-tools 
Makefile:635: recipe for target 'dpdk-configure' failed
make[1]: *** [dpdk-configure] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/nikhil/projects/vpp/build-root'
Makefile:322: recipe for target 'build' failed
make: *** [build] Error 2

I also tried

 make PLATFORM=x86_64 x86_64_os=rumprun-netbsd build
builds without cross-compilation ( May be because the make boostrap configured 
the native compiler)

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are cross compiling... no

I guess make PLATFORM= bootsrap  where it configures is the generally 
the way of cross-compilation

That’s the “supported, plan-A” scheme. If it doesn’t work, please let us know.

If you specify PLATFORM when building host tools (i.e. vppapigen), it won’t 
work.

Note the rule:

This rule builds the missing build-host tool.

Then:

Caveat: the main Makefile “.../build-root/Makefile” is non-trivial.

In the past, we’ve used it to self-compile full toolchains, and to use the 
resulting toolchains to cross-compile embedded Linux images with squashfs / 
unionfs disk images.

All of the mechanisms are there to do interesting things, but since we seldom

Re: [vpp-dev] Build error when trying to cross-compile vpp

2017-12-05 Thread Dave Barach (dbarach) 
Dear Nikhil,

The first step in adding a new platform: construct 
.../build-data/plaforms/xxx.mk. There are several examples.

Note the rule:

xxx_native_tools = vppapigen

This rule builds the missing build-host tool.

Then:

“make PLATFORM=xxx TAG=xxx_debug vpp-install” or similar.

Caveat: the main Makefile “.../build-root/Makefile” is non-trivial.

In the past, we’ve used it to self-compile full toolchains, and to use the 
resulting toolchains to cross-compile embedded Linux images with squashfs / 
unionfs disk images.

All of the mechanisms are there to do interesting things, but since we seldom 
do those things anymore you can expect a certain amount of trouble.

Thanks… Dave

After a bit more digging around the make file, I did this:

 make PLATFORM=x86_64 x86_64_os=rumprun-netbsd bootstrap

checking build system type... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... x86_64-rumprun-netbsd
checking whether we are cross compiling... yes

However, I am still seeing this error:

checking for vppapigen... no
configure: error: Externaly built vppapigen is needed when cross-compiling...
Makefile:635: recipe for target 'tools-configure' failed
make[1]: *** [tools-configure] Error 1

What is the issue?

Hi All,

I am trying to cross-compile vpp. The make doesn't expose a way to pass the 
--host parameter required to configure and build using cross compilation.

Initially, I did the following:

CC=x86_64-rumprun-netbsd-gcc make bootstrap, but I saw the following error

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.
See `config.log' for more details

As a work-around based on the config.log, I did this following

/src/configure (Stripped other output ) --build=x86_64-linux-gnu 
--host=x86_64-rumprun-netbsd --target=x86_64-linux-gnu

However,  I saw the following error:
checking for vppapigen... no
configure: error: Externaly built vppapigen is needed when cross-compiling...

Is there a way to cleanly cross-compile?

[vpp-dev] Build error when trying to cross-compile vpp

2017-12-05 Thread nikhil ap 
Hi All,

I am trying to cross-compile vpp. The make doesn't expose a way to pass the
--host parameter required to configure and build using cross compilation.

Initially, I did the following:

CC=x86_64-rumprun-netbsd-gcc make bootstrap, but I saw the following error

*If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.*
*See `config.log' for more details*

As a work-around based on the config.log, I did this following

/src/configure (Stripped other output ) --build=x86_64-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-rumprun-netbsd --target=x86_64-linux-gnu

However,  I saw the following error:
checking for vppapigen... no
configure: error: Externaly built vppapigen is needed when
cross-compiling...

Is there a way to cleanly cross-compile?
