Linux/AM335X: Adding GTK+3 and gtkmm to Arago build

Peter Wojtaszczyk51

Tool/software: Linux

My company wish to develop GTK application in C++, after few modifications to gtk+3 recipe in arago I was able to build it and include in rootfs. However I have a problem with gtkmm library - the build brakes on cairomm-1.11.2 at linking stage:

MACHINE=am335x-evm bitbake cairomm

| Makefile:510: recipe for target 'libcairomm-1.0.la' failed

It looks like the libpath is too long with unexpected home dir in the middle. I've tried also newer version cairomm-1.15.5 but it fails on configuration stage.
Did anybody included gtkmm and all its dependencies into arago?

These are the changes i had to make in gtk+3:

I know that i should do that in bbappend file, I'll clear everything out when it works.

Hello Peter,

Go to build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/sysroots/am335x-evm/lib and type ln -sf libstdc++.so.6 libstdc++.so
Open build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/sysroots/am335x-evm/usr/lib/libsigc-2.0.la file and cut the /home/tcwg-buildslave/workspace/tcwg-make-release/label/docker-trusty-amd64-tcwg-build/target/arm-linux-gnueabihf/_build/builds/destdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/arm-linux-gnueabihf and left =/lib/libstdc++.la part.

Best regards,
Kemal

Thanks!
This kind of works. I had to do this for many other files to build gtkmm_3.20.1 and the fix is relatively transitory because it's in build directory - i have to do it each time i change version of a package or do cleansstate or run build on different machine. Do you know how i can fix that in sources? is it a problem with automake or gtkmm packages?

In
tisdk/build/arago-tmp-external-linaro-toolchain/work/armv7ahf-neon-linux-gnueabi/gtkmm/3.20.1-r3/deploy-ipks/armv7ahf-neon
I can see the gtkmm-dev_3.20.1-r3_armv7ahf-neon.ipk
How can I add this to my SDK's sysroot folder so I can develop against it?

It is so easy. Remove the /home/tcwg-buildslave/workspace/tcwg-make-release/label/docker-trusty-amd64-tcwg-build/target/arm-linux-gnueabihf/_build/builds/destdir/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/arm-linux-gnueabihf and left /lib part in toolchain $HOME/gcc-linaro-6.2.1-2016.11-x86_64_arm-linux-gnueabihf/arm-linux-gnueabihf/lib/libstdc++.la. Comment out # rm -f ${D}${base_libdir}/libstdc++.so in sources/meta-linaro/meta-linaro-toolchain/recipes-devtools/external-linaro-toolchain/external-linaro-toolchain.bb and add IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " cairomm" line to build/conf/local.conf

Ok that helped, i can now rebuild whole gtkmm-3.20.1 package but i'm missing dev packages in sdk. In tisdk-rootfs-image.bb I've added:
IMAGE_INSTALL+= \
gtk+3 \
gtkmm \
sqlite3 \
and i do see libs and pkgconfig files in arago-core-tiskd-image for sqlite3 but not for gtkmm.

Also in arago-core-tisdk-image.inc I've tried:
TOOLCHAIN_TARGET_TASK += "gtkmm-dev"
SDKIMAGE_FEATURES += "dev-pkgs"

Am i something missing? Here's my bb file for gtkmm:

Append "gtkmm" to IMAGE_INSTALL_append and "dev-pkgs" to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES in your local.conf file.

Well I don't want to put dev packages to my target rootfs but to sdk. Anyway after i put dev-pkgs do_rootfs fails and in log i see this:
Collected errors:
* check_conflicts_for: The following packages conflict with openssh:
* check_conflicts_for: dropbear *
* opkg_solver_install: Cannot install package openssh-dev.

I've tried removing openssh-dev by:
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = "openssh"
IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = "openssh-dev"
in local.conf with no result. I'm curious why libsqlite3-dev package went into SDK without any problem.

dropbear is in conflict with openssh. IMAGE_INSTALL_remove = "openssh" is not enough, you need to BBMASK="oe-core/meta/recipes-connectivity/openssh/openssh_7.3p1.bb" recipe too.

After adding openssh to BBMASK I got the image but as I suspected the gtkmm-dev went into rootfs image for target instead of sdk. But I found different solution.

I've appended packagegroup-arago-tisdk-addons-sdk-target.bb with:
UTILS += "gtkmm-dev"

Thanks Kemal for help!
