[ELDK] Fwd: [Bug 5091] Fix for libtool-cross do_qa_configure error when building cross gfortran

[Larry Baker]

Wolfgang,

I am not sure what else I can provide.  The patches I posted on the ELDK and the
OpenEmbedded mailing lists are the proper patches for each distribution (they have
slightly different line numbers and one file name is different).  The patches work
fine.

As I mentioned in both mailing lists, I cannot provide diff --git output; I use
CentOS Linux 6.4 and Mac OS X 10.6, and neither supports the --git option.
I do not use git.  I have git on my Linux boxes to do command-line downloads.
My Linux boxes are throw-away development systems.  I do not use Linux for e-mail.

I received no response from the OpenEmbedded developers list, so I also submitted
a Yocto bugzilla report.  Again, I included my patches for the OE git tree.  This resulted
in the response I forwarded (Fwd: [Bug 5091]) with a target release to incorporate a fix.

I do not claim this is a complete fix.  There remain warning messages from
gcc-runtime (gcc-runtime: Files/directories were installed but not shipped), and I
am not knowledgeable enough to properly specify the DEPENDS in gcc-runtime
for a cross gfortran and the PROVIDES in gcc-cross for the cross gfortran.  I hope
whoever maintains the affected parts of openembedded-core will know how to
finish this.

All I can say is that I can build and run gfortran apps after applying these patches
and using the .bbappend files I posted here.  This is more progress than anyone
else has been able to make with gfortran and Yocto (e.g., BeagleBone users).
