mickledore: build fails using Ubuntu 22.04
Opened this issue · 1 comments
Describe the bug
Trying to build Chromium using the official NXP release mickledore-6.1.22-2.0.0 using a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine, the build fails.
However, NXP approach is reasonably not relevant: please read the Additional context section.
To Reproduce
To reproduce the behavior, you can follow the instructions reported in L6.1.22_2.0.0_LINUX_DOCS
Additional context
When installing packages for a Yocto build, the package build-essential is installed, causing the installation of gcc-multilib and g++-multilib: on a stock Ubuntu 22.04 machine, this causes the installation of gcc-11-multilib and g++-11-multilib.
Ubuntu 22.04 originally comes with dkms 2.8.7-2ubuntu2 package from jammy repository: this specific package depends on the default gcc installation: on Ubuntu 22.04 this is gcc-11
When the "jammy-updates" repository is enabled (reasonably, a common condition for several users), an updated version dkms 2.8.7-2ubuntu2.2 is installed: this specific package depends on the default gcc-12 which is automatically installed during the dkms update.
With these conditions, when meta-clang try building chromium dependencies, you will get
Summary: 2 tasks failed:
virtual:native:/my-yocto-mickledore/sources/meta-clang/recipes-devtools/clang/compiler-rt_git.bb:do_configure
virtual:native:/my-yocto-mickledore/sources/meta-clang/recipes-devtools/clang/libcxx_git.bb:do_configure
Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages, returning a non-zero exit code.
Inspecting the origin of the build error, you will find
/my-yocto-mickledore/build_mx8mp_xwayland/tmp/hosttools/ld: cannot find -lstdc++: No such file or directory
clang-15: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
This error is only present if the updated dkms package is installed.
Inspecting how clang works, I can see
$ /my-yocto-mickledore/build_mx8mp_xwayland/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/libcxx-native/15.0.7-r0/recipe-sysroot-native/usr/bin/clang++ --verbose

As far as I can understand, clang automatically select gcc-12 but g++-12 installation is missing, originating the build error.
The following workaround makes the Ubuntu 22.04 installation more coherent from a clang perspective and the build can successfully complete:
$ sudo apt install gcc-12-multilib g++-12-multilib
Is this something that should be somehow either documented or fixed ?
