Description Thorsten 2015-04-21 03:54:41 UTC
freerdp 1.2.1 fails to build while linking on ARM-hardfloat machine. Problem seems to be independent of GCC-version and CFLAGS:
  /usr/lib/gcc/armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/4.9.2/../../../../armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: error: libfreerdp.so.1.2.1 uses VFP register arguments, CMakeFiles/freerdp.dir/codec/rfx_neon.c.o does not
/usr/lib/gcc/armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/4.9.2/../../../../armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/bin/ld: failed to merge target specific data of file CMakeFiles/freerdp.dir/codec/rfx_neon.c.o


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Gentoo hardfloat on ARM machine
2. emerge -av =net-misc/freerdp-1.2.1_pre20150326

Actual Results:  
build fails at linking phase

Expected Results:  
build just fine

Hardware is NVidia Tegra K1

Comment 3 Thorsten 2015-04-21 03:58:57 UTC
build fails too with: 
armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-4.8.3 and CFLAGS with NEON enabled.

if build logs of this are needed they can be provided, too

Please attach your build logs to this bug. Pastebins have a tendency of randomly disappearing.

I tested to compile with clang and different versions of gcc, but no success.
Comment 8 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-04-27 03:35:40 UTC
looks like the build hardcodes softfp in some places which is a terrible idea

notice the -mfloat-abi=softfp at the end, and the -mfpu=neon.  this package might need a USE=neon flag in addition to fixing of the float ABI.
Comment 9 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-04-27 15:00:00 UTC
There are a couple of cmake options we can play with here.

What would be the best way to set WITH_NEON and ARM_FP_ABI?


if(TARGET_ARCH MATCHES "ARM")
    if (NOT DEFINED WITH_NEON)
        option(WITH_NEON "Enable NEON optimization." ON)
    else()
        option(WITH_NEON "Enable NEON optimization." OFF)
    endif()
    if (NOT DEFINED ARM_FP_ABI)
        set(ARM_FP_ABI "softfp" CACHE STRING "Floating point ABI to use on arm")
    else()
        set(ARM_FP_ABI ${ARM_FP_API} CACHE STRING "Floating point ABI to use on arm")
    endif()
    mark_as_advanced(ARM_FP_ABI)
Comment 10 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-04-27 15:01:32 UTC
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #9)

Are USE flags appropriate, or should the ebuild do some automatic detection based on some other variables?
Comment 11 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-04-30 01:44:19 UTC
(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #10)

there's a USE=neon you should use.

for the float ABI, the build shouldn't do anything at all -- it should let the existing compiler settings DTRT.  can you just set ARM_FP_API="" ?

That would result in "-mfloat-abi=" being passed to the compiler for some subset of files.

The package compiles with unset neon flag now, but still fails to build with a set neon flag.

(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #12)

then the cmake files will need to be fixed to respect this setting.  pretty sure that'll fix the neon build failure too.
Comment 18 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2015-04-30 14:30:51 UTC
My initial inclination would be to just remove that goofy cmake logic. However, it looks like upstream added this in response to some build failure on Debian, so they will need some convincing.

ebuild that consider the arch and the float option

simply use of toolchain-funcs to detect arch and float type

Looks like this was merged upstream - can we get a backport to the stable version in the Portage tree? :)
