Description Andrei Slavoiu 2010-11-21 18:21:38 UTC
When building examples it will try to run the dbus-binding-tool it just built, but this fails when crosscompiling:

dbus-glib-0.86.ebuild.patch

Fix the build error by instructing the build system to use the native dbus-binding-tool
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-21 22:31:14 UTC
Wouldn't it be even better to set this parameter always so that it also benefits prefix setups ?
Comment 5 Andrei Slavoiu 2010-11-23 19:16:12 UTC
I don't think prefix is affected by this, they compile for the same architecture as the host so running the just compiled dbus-binding-tool will not fail. And setting it all the time is dangerous as it might break regular builds, if the system did not previously have dbus-glib installed or are upgrading from a version that is too old.
Comment 6 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-24 09:26:45 UTC
this tool is owned by dbus, not dbus-glib :)

My comment was not about the arch problem but the location of the tool on a prefix system. CCing prefix anyway so they can give us the word :)
Comment 7 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2010-11-24 09:37:34 UTC

but dbus-glib seems to have it included (and built) as well :/

It works fine because:
  [DBUS_BINDING_TOOL=$withval],[DBUS_BINDING_TOOL=\$\(top_builddir\)/dbus/dbus- binding-tool])

In other words, if you don't set that argument, it will always use the included version of the tool, which in Prefix is also correct.

It probably saves you some compilation (/me likes) if you don't use the included one, by indeed unconditionally doing something like:

  --with-dbus-binding-tool="${EPREFIX}"/usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool

on an EAPI=3 ebuild.

erm, forget that, it's not in dbus package after all, my qfile foo failed me :)

so I guess the attached patch will do.

I don't think it's okay to depend on a host binary for this. Is building the examples really required?

Scratch that, we need dbus-binding-tool in tools/ as well
Comment 11 Fabian Groffen gentoo-dev 2014-01-14 18:44:15 UTC
Prefix outta here
Comment 12 tt_1 2019-09-07 15:05:22 UTC
still a thing, as new firefox-69.0 always needs dbus-glib as a compile time dependency. it's possible to cross-compile the package and thus the library, by adding 

--with-dbus-binding-tool=/usr/bin/dbus-binding-tool

to local myconf=()

dbus-binding-tool is part of dbus-glib, so for this the host has to have dbus-glib installed before it can be cross compiled. 

I really hope this mess of depending on a long depreceated library get's cleaned up in the near future at mozilla.

Fix cross-compiling

Here is a proper fix for this ebuild so you don't have to worry about whether a CBUILD dbus-glib was installed or not.

Comment 18 David Michael 2020-11-23 14:52:11 UTC
I have no problems building for armv7a from amd64.  It seems odd that your CBUILD compiler says libraries in /usr/lib are incompatible.  Maybe you have a bad pkgconfig file adding -L/usr/lib when it should default to /usr/lib64?  My native linking command looks like this when cross-compiling:

libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O1 -pipe -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wfloat-equal -Wsign-compare -fno-strict-aliasing -o .libs/test-profile test-profile.o  ../../dbus/.libs/libdbus-glib-1.so ../../dbus-gmain/tests/.libs/libtest.a -ldbus-1 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0

Maybe try adding tc-env_build before the emake call to reset the environment.
Comment 19 David Michael 2020-11-23 15:06:05 UTC
Oh, nevermind, I see your linking command didn't fail.  The program segfaulted.  I don't know what to tell you about that.  Try to reproduce it in gdb and see what broke.
