Could NOT find Git (missing: GIT_EXECUTABLE)

[Nouri1111]

Hello
When I try cross compile the libjson-rpc with yocto the below message displayed:
Could NOT find Git (missing: GIT_EXECUTABLE)

Could you please tell me how to desactivate or to add the GIT recipe
thanks in advance

You could disable the test suite (which requires git, to fetch the CATCH unit testing library).

cmake -DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO ..
make

thanks for you replay but I compile with yocto so I m looking for script to disable GIT, DOXYGEN CATCH..
Thanks in advance

Hi !

I don't think you'll find such scripts here... A simple way to get rid of those messages would be to install git and doxygen on your host.

Another way to do it is to add a native dependency to your recipe. I guess recipe name "git-native" would go well for git. Such a dependency will build git for the host and not for the target which will get you rid of those messages.

I added to my file .bb : BBCLASSEXTEND = "native"
but I have always git doxygen, catch problems
Could NOT find Git (missing: GIT_EXECUTABLE)
Could NOT find Git (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)
Could NOT find Git (missing: CATCH_EXECUTABLE)

Is there other way to desactivate these libs

Doing that only allows your recipe to be compiled for native host. You need to add "git-native" recipe to your recipe dependencies or install git on your host.

I'm just wondeting: are you new with yocto/openembedded ?

[Nouri1111]

Yes I'm new and I don't know how to add "git-native" recipe
Could you tell me please
thanks in advance

using this command I got the same error :
DEPENDS = " git-native"

[loreilei]

Hmm weird, git inherits native class in its recipe...

Did you try to disable tests like cinemast said ?

Either you overload do_configure() in your recipe or modifiy EXTRA_OECONF variable to do so.

EXTRA_OECONF += "-DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO" for instance ? (can't ensure it will work, I'm poiting this out of memory and has nothing to try it now).

[Nouri1111]

I added:
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO"
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_STUBGEN=NO"
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=NO"

Always I have the same error
Could NOT find Doxygen (missing: DOXYGEN_EXECUTABLE)
| -- Could NOT find catch (missing: CATCH_INCLUDE_DIR)
| Could not find catch, downloading it now
| CMake Error at /share/cmake-2.8/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:107 (message):

| /Modules/FindGit.cmake:61 (find_package_handle_standard_args)

Is there other idea!!

Disable documentation generation ?

Also you can write
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO"
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_STUBGEN=NO"
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=NO"
as
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO
-DCOMPILE_STUBGEN=NO
-DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=NO"

[Nouri1111]

I got the same error even with:
EXTRA_OECMAKE += "-DCOMPILE_TESTS=NO
-DCOMPILE_STUBGEN=NO
-DCOMPILE_EXAMPLES=NO"
I think I have to cross compile a recipe for catch
