[Log4cpp-devel] Issue building for an embedded target utilizing BuildRoot.

[Sean K. <sk...@ip...>]

Hi Guys,

I'm having an issue with building your lib for an embedded application. 
My issue is faily simple, I want to build ONLY the lib, none of the docs 
etc, but I can't seem to find the make directive to do that. I'm using 
the buildRoot system and here is my master make file as well as the 
error produced. Any input would be appreciated. As you can see I tried 
to keep docs off of my RFS image by configuring it to dump docs to the 
/tmp of the build system, but it doesn't seem to be working.

Thanks,
Sean

Alexander was kind enough to promptly reply with:

FWIW other autotools projects more or less just work with BuildRoot. I 
have tried the following directive with my BuildRoot log4cpp package script:

LOG4CPP_CONFIGURE_CMDS= cd $(@D) && ls && ./autogen.sh && ./configure 
--program-prefix=$(STAGING_DIR)/usr/ --psdir=/tmp --pdfdir=/tmp 
--dvidir=/tmp --htmldir=/tmp --docdir="/tmp" \
--mandir=/tmp --infodir=/tmp

LOG4CPP_BUILD_CMDS = cd $(@D) && make

As you can see I'm trying to use the correct program-prefix for my 
target and I tell it to dump docs and things I don't need into /tmp so 
that they don't bloat my embedded image.

Still yeilds:

/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
./man/man3/log4cpp_TimeStampComponent.3/tmp/man3/log4cpp::TimeStampComponent.3
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
./man/man3/log4cpp_TriggeringEventEvaluator.3/tmp/man3/log4cpp::TriggeringEventEvaluator.3
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
./man/man3/log4cpp_TriggeringEventEvaluatorFactory.3/tmp/man3/log4cpp::TriggeringEventEvaluatorFactory.3
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
./man/man3/log4cpp_width.3/tmp/man3/log4cpp::width.3
/usr/bin/install -c -m 644 
./man/man3/log4cpp_Win32DebugAppender.3/tmp/man3/log4cpp::Win32DebugAppender.3
/bin/bash ../config/mkinstalldirs /usr/local/doc/log4cpp-1.1
mkdir /usr/local/doc

mkdir /usr/local/doc/log4cpp-1.1

make[4]: *** [install-data-local] Error 1

Something like <make installLib> is all I need. In the mean time I will 
try Alexander's advice.

Thanks again,
Sean
