[Gumstix-users] Trouble building imagemagick

[Peter Ferland <hobbesmaster@gm...>]

I'm trying to build imagemagick using open embedded.  I have the environment
working fine, I followed all the instructions on gumstix.net under getting
started and was able to build the gumstix-basic-image without any problems.
When I went to build imagemagick the build failed with an error while
building libtiff:
NOTE: Running task 231 of 274 (ID: 101,
/home/peter/gumstix/gumstix-oe/org.openembedded.snapshot/packages/libtiff/

Attempting to build just libtiff results in the same error.  I gather that
it is a problem with looking at host versions of libraries, I initially
thought that there must be a problem with the way my paths are set.  I asked
on IRC and a user reported the same problem when trying to build the
package, so I'm wondering if there is something wrong with the recipe,
configure script or something.  Does anyone have any ideas on what is wrong
and what I can do to fix it?

Thanks,
Peter

Did you figure out what was happening? I am trying to build socat 1.7 using
OE, and I am getting the same error.

I had the problem the original author was discussing, which was that libtiff
wouldn't build.  It turns out that when you bake libtiff, libtiff configures
[apparently] properly, but a config.log file remains in the directory.  When
baking, after do_configure runs, the next step is do_qa_configure, which
looks for a config.log file remaining in that directory.  If you go to the
work directory (described in the error message) and look for config.log, see
if everything configured properly.  If so (it did in my case), just rm
config.log and get back to compiling.

This is an excellent opportunity to use bitbake -i, IMHO.  You can parse,
configure, ^Z, rm config.log, fg, build, stage and I probably forgot a step.

I would be wary of just deleting the config.log file, you'll want to be sure
it is working right or it'll be TS for you.
