@Karl-opec did you a complete clean build after the gcc10 merge ?
I needed to do a cd .../LE/ and rm -rf build.* that it works again.

Yes, I did.but it tries to build libedit in heimdal, despite that it is disabled package.mk.

Karl-opec · 2020-07-04T10:16:20Z

I build the chewitt branch amlogic-upstream, which acording to #4467 is a follow up of 4461 and should fix the error. It does not it gives the same error.

I've done a clean build of my amlogic-upstream branch without issues on an Ubuntu 18.04 host. After the gcc10 bump it needs to be a clean build - dirty builds will fail.

Karl-opec · 2020-07-05T11:48:52Z

I build clean on Opensuse Tumbleweed. I tried your amlogic-upstream branch to have the above mentioned gcc10 fix in place.
I know that this not an preferred build system but in the past it has worked. For me it seems to be an issue with automake, autoconf in the heimdal building process. configure for heimdal says not to build libedit but it tries to do it and then it fails.

chewitt · 2020-07-05T11:53:42Z

I know that this not an preferred build system but in the past it has worked.

We provide Docker templates in tools/docker for people with unsupported build environments to use.

the-dreamer · 2020-08-10T13:53:16Z

Master is also failing for me on Fedora 32 x64 host for building generic image with the same error during heimdal build
ps: with complete clean build of course.

the-dreamer · 2020-08-12T13:20:39Z

after some research i am pretty sure, this pr is fixing the issue above: https://github.com/heimdal/heimdal/pull/714/files
edit: no it is not because it is changing only a message, but at least the line above is giving me in hint. at the end tgetent is not found on fedora 32 anymore
edit2: actually the main reason is that tgetent is not buildin ncurses anymore. That heimdal is failing is not new and was fixed earlier here: https://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv/pull/2970/files. This was okay in the past, but with this commit: 07fa29f ncurses is build with termcap/termlib which is putting the necessary functions into tinfo lib. Heimdal is not searching for that the current version. the mentioned PR in heimdal was the last step to change it but the fix is coming into the next version which is currently not released. I wondering why nearly nobody else is failing into that trap since april. A clean build should fail always...

davidgfnet · 2020-12-04T00:06:46Z

I've got the same issue :/

lrusak · 2020-12-04T01:32:36Z

impossible to know without some kind of log

Closing after #4949 bumps everything to a current state again

Karl-opec · 2021-01-17T10:48:13Z

with the newest tree I still have the same error.

Please reopen

CvH · 2021-01-17T11:08:15Z

@Karl-opec did you tried if it happens at other LE platforms too (RPi ...)? Its very likely a problem from host side.

You could try to run it at docker too, there it should work regardless of host system.

the-dreamer · 2021-01-17T11:10:49Z

Please have a look to my comment above. It is still valid.

CvH · 2021-01-17T11:12:46Z

@the-dreamer whats you host system ?

the-dreamer · 2021-01-17T11:16:33Z

Fedora, but as the host side is build by build system and is using the lib it should happend on any host

Karl-opec · 2021-01-17T14:09:34Z

I normaly run opensuse thumbleweed. On This host system it does not build, on ubuntu in a virtualbox maschine it does. But the-dreamer's comments is a valid statement. I also question myself, why is this heimdal thing not generally fixable? Perhaps their might something problamatic hidden?

the-dreamer · 2021-01-17T14:32:10Z

See edit2 from august. Ncurses has changed and heimdal is failing because of it. Next heimdal release will fix it actually in git it is already fixed.

Karl-opec · 2021-01-17T15:17:40Z

So the Headline should be corrected to "Building le-master fails - Needs lastest heimdal git to fix"

chewitt · 2021-01-17T15:19:57Z

@the-dreamer what is the fixing commit in current git? .. i.e. which patch can we backport until heimdal pushes next release.

the-dreamer · 2021-01-18T07:16:06Z

the fix is happend on more commits, i hope that is sufficient for successful build:

this is, what is working on my private repo:

I placed it as packages/devel/heimdal/patches/0001-heimdal-compile.patch in the build system
and building on opensuse tumbleweed works again.

For me this issue is solved now.

Thanks everybody.

Karl-opec · 2021-01-31T12:13:16Z

@chewitt or CvH
Could you be so kind to add the above Patch to the source. It really fixes the build issues under other systems. The compiled
code runs without issues.
