[yocto] how to add a new bb(xerces-c)?

[Bill Martin]

Regarding  my earlier post (see below)

I found a patch by Hans Beckerus dated September 10. I do think adding this
patch to libtools is important and I did. But it did not solve the problem
of unsafe or poisoned host include or library files. I tried using the flag
--with-libtools-sysroot to point to two different directories (they have to
be absolute paths I think) but still got the same issue.  I made sure the
libtools patch of Hans' was installed correctly. You can see the patch
inside the configure in your xerxes-c WORKDIR. I haven't cross compiled
outside of autotools as I thought I did. It was all on the build machine.
So next step is to cross compile on my own outside the Yocto environment.


Running out of ideas.

I have been tasked to add xerces-c too. There is an OE recipe already for
this (you can google it).

However your recipe seems to run into the same problem that I get. The
solution is not just to look at config.log and log.do_config. They display
the symptoms. The one who responded to your post implies the fix is in the
recipe by just adding extra config flags to point to the correct libraries.

I can run ./configure outside of yocto and send in the libraries I want.
But the OEEXTRACONFS I added in my recipe had no effect on the libraries.
Note that the auto tools is forcing the enable-poison-system directories,
as it should. But the cause is further up the "food chain" so to speak.

The problem seems to be with a bug in lib tools that Hans Beckerus found.

Essentially it's to do with the with-libtool-sysroot usage in the libtool.
I have not tried Hans' solution yet but will today.  Hopefully this info is
enough to get you started so you can make your own fix and use xerces-c.

thanks
