[Solved] Cross Compile Error

Hello,

Light 1.4.43 does not cross compile in my embedded ARM environment. LIBBSD is the culprit. I cannot add libbsd to my development environment because it requires glibc to compile and we use UCLIBC. Is there a work around for this? A switch like --without-libbsd would be nice.

Thank you,
Dan Pattison

Do you know what is being detected that depends on libbsd? If you describe you cross-compilation environment in detail (or point me to a doc to set up my own in the same way you set up yours), I'll try to reproduce the issue.

Hello gstrauss,

Thanks for looking into this. Below is the compile error message.

lighttpd-rand.o: In function 'li_rand_reseed':
rand.c:(text+0x1e8): undefined reference to 'arc4random_buf'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

We are using buildroot to cross compile. Arch=ARM. Arch Variant=arm926t. CPU=AT91SAM9G20. LIBC=UCLIBC. UCLIBC=0.9.30.1. GCC=4.3.3.

Googling for undefined reference to 'arc4random_buf' shows libbsd to be the culprit. Let me know if you need more info.

Thanks,

See df61f19d
That might address the issue for you.

What is your base operating system and version?

Hello,

Thanks for the reply. Our build system is Centos 6. ARM OS is Linux 2.6.33. I tried those patches, but am having problems with 'automake 1.5' is missing on your system error message. I will battle with this and see if I can get it sorted out and will report back.

Before running ./configure ..., try running ./autogen.sh to regenerate some of the autoconf/autotools settings to use the versions you have available.
