ADL breaks cross-compiling for Windows on Linux

[veox]

wolf0:

Veox, you gotta remove the check for ADL headers so I can properly cross-compile from Linux. Configure whines about not being able to check for them.

[veox]

I'd like not to break ADL detection for everybody else.

cgminer had a change to windows-build.txt a month ago. Might be relevant.

[veox]

Also, Drogean's been able to compile it, and submitted some changes to sgminer's docs: https://github.com/veox/sgminer/pull/13

Can you just disable the check for headers only if cross-compiling?

[veox]

Does specifying --disable-adl to configure help? Or do you want the
headers to be there, but no checks to be performed?

I can go ahead and just add --disable-adl-checks or some similar hack,
but that's what the checks are for, perhaps it is better that you post
the error log?

BTW, careful with what you distribute. The AMD ADL EULA allows
including object and header files only in object-code form.

The issue is, I want to cross compile it with ADL support. It wouldn't make sense to disable ADL. Try cross-compiling, and configure will tell you that it can't check for the headers when cross compiling and abort. And I'm building binaries, so I don't have to worry.

@wolf9466 Please do post the error messages on how it fails before trying the https://github.com/veox/sgminer/tree/windows-cross-compile branch. There's some old stuff in configure.ac that needs fixing, and I don't want to play around with setting up cross-compiling just yet.

[OhGodAPet]

You don't need to play around with setting up anything. Here's the error:

checking for ./ADL_SDK/adl_sdk.h... configure: error: cannot check for file existence when cross compiling

[veox]

Did specifying --disable-adl-checks when running configure using branch windows-cross-compile above solve the issue?

[OhGodAPet]

Nope.

[veox]

Reordered the checks, try again.

[OhGodAPet]

Works now.
