Buildroot and ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00 toolchain

Gonzalo Fernandez

Hi all,

I'm porting a project based on a Freescale iMX processor to project based on a AM335x. I'm used to LTIB an Buildroot, not to Arago neither Angstrom distributions, so I'd like to stay developing my RFSs on Builroot, but I'm facing some issues related to the toolchain that comes in ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00

I've tried buildroot using several toolchains:
- from Freescale's LTIB gcc-4.4.4-glibc-2.11.1 (preinstalled)
- from CodeSourcery Sourcery_G++_Lite (preinstalled)
- From Linaro 2012.06 (downloaded by buildroot)

All of them work fine and, only for testing, I've been able to compile many, many ... many packages with no problem at all.

Problems come when I try to use the toolchain that comes in ti-sdk-am335x-evm-05.05.00.00/linux-devkit:
Distro: arago
Distro Version: 2011.09
Metadata Revision: a9551ab
Timestamp: 20120727153102

Using this toolchain, for many, many, ... many packages I get the following error, for example when compiling glib-1.2.10

>>> host-pkg-config 0.25 Building
............
libtool: Version mismatch error. This is libtool 2.2.10, but the
libtool: definition of this LT_INIT comes from libtool 2.2.6b.
libtool: You should recreate aclocal.m4 with macros from libtool 2.2.10
libtool: and run autoconf again.

I've never faced this issue and don't how to solve it.

Does somebody have a similar setup running fine?
Any clues how to solve it?.

Thanks in advance,
Gonzalo.

Gonzalo,

Just uninstall libtool and re-install it. Run the following commands on your Ubuntu command terminal.

sudo apt-get remove libtool

sudo apt-get install libtool

Hi Renjith,

thanks for the asnwer.

I have done as you suggested but, after a 'make clean', I get the same errors

Try this out.

I'm no sure how to follow the steps in http://www.howtodoityourself.org/2012/05/28/how-to-fix-libtool-version-mismatch-error.html

What I've done is as follows, but I've got mixed results.

In the directory of the failing to compile package under ~/buildroot-2012.08/output/build:

-remove aclocal.m4

-run libtoolize

-run aclocal

-run autoconf

This has solved the issues in host-pkg-config-0.25, glib-1.2.10 and some other packages. But following this procedure on other failling to compile packages I'm now getting different erros - for example, on tslib, now I get:

./configure: line 12426: syntax error near unexpected token `linear,'
./configure: line 12426: `TSLIB_CHECK_MODULE(linear, yes, Enable building of linear scaling)'
make[1]: *** [config.status] Error 2
make[1]: se sale del directorio «/home/gfernandez/buildroot-2012.08/output/build/tslib-412d99d8b92c»
make: *** [/home/gfernandez/buildroot-2012.08/output/build/tslib-412d99d8b92c/.stamp_built] Error 2

Besides that this procedure does not solve the problems in all packages, it is really tedious due to the large number of failing packages, or if you have to repeat it from the beginning if you do a "make clean".

This looks to work:

In the directory of the failing to compile package under ~/buildroot-2012.08/output/build: autoreconf -vif

The only package that fails so far is ffmpeg, but for other reasons.

Gonzalo,

Is it solved?

I think so, but I'm stil compiling more & more packages and libs.

Renjith, thanks for your support.

Problem is that 335 SDK is using libtool 2.2.6b and buildroot package is using libtool 2.2.10.

One way to fix it is to use 2.2.6b instead of 2.2.10. Change libtool.mk file:

diff package/libtool/libtool.mk package/libtool/libtool.mk.org
6c6
< LIBTOOL_VERSION = 2.2.6b
---
> LIBTOOL_VERSION = 2.2.10

Updating libtool in SDK is probably better fix.

Oleg.
