[yocto] libtool issue

[Sravan K]

Hi All,

I am trying to cross compile libsoup and few other opensource libraries for
arm on  my ubuntu.

I facing an issue while build libsoup.

Error:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| /bin/grep: /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la: No such file or directory
| sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la: No such file or directory
| libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la' is not a valid libtool archive
| make[3]: *** [libsoup-2.4.la] Error 1
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Versions:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
libsoup 2.35.90
libsoup libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4

glib 2.29.18
glib libtool (GNU libtool) 2.4.2
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The path is specified as "/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la" instead of
"{sysroot}/usr/lib/libgobject-2.0.la" in libgio-2.0.la

./tmp/sysroots/xxx/usr/lib/libgio-2.0.la:dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/
libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libgthread-2.0.la -lpthread /usr/lib/libffi.la
/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la -lresolv
-L/home/local/......./build/tmp/sysroots/xxx/usr/lib -lz'


After some investigation found that Libsoup' libtool is unable to translate
the path to sysroot.
Found that the patch
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/plain/meta/recipes-devtools/libtool/libtool/resolve-sysroot.patch?h=bernard
could help......but  this patch only translated "=*" to "{sysroot/*}"

So modified this path slightly to translate "/usr/lib/" and "/lib" to
"{sysroot/usr/lib}" and "${sysroot}/lib" respectively.


Though this worked for me for now, I am interested in know if there is
existing patch which can do this.


Thanks in advance
