Architectures/ARM/Fedora15 HardFP Bootstrap package status

We are currently engaged in bootstrap of support for armv7hl ("hardfp") ARM systems in Fedora. The purpose of this page is to track the individual status of packages (and their dependencies) that have been built for Fedora.

See http://arm-temp.ausil.us/pub/fedora-arm/stage-4-failures.html for the list of pending packages that have not succeeded building

See http://djdelorie.fedorapeople.org/armv7-srpms.html for a report on the differences to mainline

Known F15 issues

linux/videodev.h

hno: Hmm.. have quite many packages FTBFS with "fatal error: linux/videodev.h: No such file or directory". 
kwizart: hno, they need to be converted to fully support v4l2
kwizart: but the workaround is to make them built with /usr/include/libv4l1-videodev.h from libv4l-devel and make them link with -lv4l1

Updates packages to build directly into ARM GA

If a F15 update is needed to solve an ARM-related problem that exists with the GA package, simply push that update into stage4 and note this (and the reasoning) under "Completed" below. When we come to do the koji build, the stage4 SRPMs will be used as a source, so there is no need to seperately record/list the packages that had to pulled in from updates.

Needed for koji (jcm)

pki-core

DEBUG util.py:247:  Error: No Package found for osutil

gtkmm24

Tracked below. Seems to be FTBFS after glibmm24 packaging change.

busybox

done. busybox-1.18.2-5.fc15 pulled in from updates (earlier versions don't compile on ARM)

docbook2X

Depends on perl(XML::LibXML::Common), perl(XML::LibXML)

done.

icu

done

llvm

depends on ocaml. See below.

done

pax

Done. pax-3.4-10.fc12 in F15 GA is broken - trivial gcc compile error. Use pax-3.4-12.fc15 instead.

perl-XML-LibXML

Depends on itself, probably in rpm triggers. Trying with a dummy bootstrap package just providing the needed provides.

perl-XML-LibXML-0.0.bootstrap

worked fine. Done.

uuid

Done. uuid-1.6.2-4.fc15 in F15 GA is broken - trivial spec error. Use uuid-1.6.2-5.fc15 instead.

xerces-c

calls dos2unix with bad arguments. Seems to have been failing for some time but appears dos2unix did not exit with an error and only an error message before.

seems fixed in F16, but also a newer version.

trying build with corrected dos2unix arguments (-k instead of -U) Hno 10:40, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Done. fixed in xerces-c-3.0.1-22.fc15

Self & Circular dependencies

These packages have circular dependencies on themselves

ghc ghc hscolour hscolour

done. ghc needs a manual bootstrap.

See ghc below

Problematic packages

Please add notes regarding specific packages here. When completed move them down to Completed.

python3

Three tests fail on ARM (#744624). python3-3.2-2.fc15.arm0 for armv5tel includes the spec file patch on #744624.

python-pyblock

python-pyblock-0.49-2.fc15 is arm patched, remowing -Wall for unknown reason.

The issues with this package are discussed here. Needs a little upstream (anaconda team) intervention.

anaconda

anaconda-15.31-2.fc15.src.rpm in stage4 is a modified package which adds an ARM screen font (only for armv7, not for v5). It may be better to specify that ARM doesn't want a font (like S390 already). Resolution being tracked in #743429.

glibc

F15 GA version has various failures. Updates version is much better, we just are waiting for the solution of bug #743034 (tzdata-update compile problem). glibc-2.14-7.arm0 (for armv5tel) includes this fix.

zziplib

Completed

These packages have completed a full build with some manual actions

libmpc

GA version libmpc-0.8.3-0.3.svn855.fc15 fails to build on armv5tel, because it hits a glibc bug where certain headers are not available on ARM and builds with -Werror.

Pulled in version libmpc-0.8.3-0.4.svn855.fc15 from koji which avoids using -Werror.

nss

GA version fails tests on ARM. nss-3.12.10-6.fc15 pulled in from F15 updates to avoid this.

GA version also fails to build on Linux 3.0 host. Updates version may or may not face the same issue - armv5tel version built on Linux 2.6 host.

nspr

nspr-4.8.7-2.fc15 passes bad arguments to gcc and fails to compile. Fixed in nspr-4.8.8-4.fc15, pulled in from F15 updates.

uClibc

uClibc-0.9.32-2.fc15 pulled in from F15 updates (needed for busybox, GA version doesn't work right)

atlas

atlas-3.8.4-1.fc15 pulled in from F15 updates (first version with ARM support).

libtool

libtool-2.4-6.fc15 was pulled in from F15 updates for armv5tel as this is the version that works alongside gcc-4.6.1.

binutils

binutils-2.21.51.0.6-9.fc15 was pulled in from F15 updates to fix [1] (ghc and gcc build segfaults)

coreutils

Had trouble building coreutils-8.10-2.fc15 for armv5tel on koji2.laptop.org: it failed on tests/cp/fiemap-perf on "Nothing can read (much less write) that many bytes in so little time." More recent versions of coreutils fix this by skipping that test if the host filesystem is ext3 (which is the case on koji2, running Linux 3.1-rc7).

So, trying to avoid having to patch and bump coreutils in F15, I then tried to build this on an OLPC XO, which uses ext4 and runs Linux 3.0.0. This time, fiemap-perf passed but 5 gnulib readlink tests failed because the kernel returns EINVAL in a specific case where it never used to. Again, this test is fixed in more recent versions of coreutils, but in order to try and avoid patching the build, I patched in this kernel fix on my XO (still not upstream as of time of writing). The build then succeeded.

So the options for building this are:

• Use a suitably old kernel (2.6.38 or older) and ext4 for the build, or
• Patch the build system kernel and run the build on ext4, or
• Add this coreutils fix and this gnulib fix to F15 coreutils and build that instead, which solves/avoids both the ext3 and readlink problems.

findutils

findutils includes gnulib so the readlink test failures noted in the coreutils section above apply exactly. findutils-4.5.9-3.fc15 built for armv5tel on OLPC XO with a patched kernel.

mesa

mesa-7.11-1.fc15 built without modification (post stage3-trim).

Not sure how, because the sis driver should get built, and that requires x86 or x86_64 before #713609 produced mesa-7.11-4.fc15 (F15 updates). Anyway, if it works it works! -Dsd 14:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

There is however mesa-dri-llvmcore left in stage3

gnome-bluetooth

gnome-bluetooth-3.0.1-1.fc15 built without modification (post stage3-trim)

Fixed by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=738509

Is *not* this upstream bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626035

mysql

mysql-5.5.14-2.fc15.0.arm1 was built with 2 patches from stage3:

mysql-home.patch: define DEFAULT_HOME_ENV mysql-valist_fix.patch: Use a dummy va_list for client_plugin.c

Additionally, the perfschema.func_mutex and perfschema.func_file_io test cases were removed as they failed during build/test time. These should be investigated and a proper fix put in place.

phonon

Have a circular dependency on it's backend providers. Main phonon package have been built but can not be installed as there is no backend providers, and blocks the backend providers from being built.

As the main package is already in stage4 the normal boostrap procedure of temporarily removing dependencies do not work well.

Trying alternative dependency override by manually installing phonon using rpm

rm rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/*.log
mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --init --no-cleanup-after --result rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/
mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/ --installdeps rpms/phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15/phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15.src.rpm 
mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/ --copyin rpms/phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15/phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15.armv7hl.rpm builddir/
mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/ --chroot "rpm -i builddir/phonon-4.5.0-2.fc15.armv7hl.rpm --nodeps" 
mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --no-clean --no-cleanup-after --result rpms/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15/ SRPMS/phonon-backend-gstreamer-4.5.1-1.fc15.src.rpm

Resulting phonon-backend-gstreamer however depends on PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin which is not yet built..??

Another possible approach would have been to make a temporary phonon-backend-gstreamer-0.0.bootstrap package that only provides "phonon(backend}". This is probably recommended way of solving this kind of user experience runtime dependencies causing circular build dependencies.

systemtap-sdt

Was build in stage3 somehow.

Depends on crash-devel, which fails on ExclusiveArch check.

There is an update koji build which removes the dependency on crash. Now scheduled for build. First attempts crashed for unknown reasons, but after rescheduling it again it seems to be building.

Worked fine this time.

arts

Stray /usr/lib/*.la files packaged in the binary rpm with "bad" content. These files are both developer files and did contain further references to other unpackaged .la files in the stage3 build. Rebuilt in stage4 which cleaned up the contents of the .la files a bit, but strangely kdelibs3 still fails with the same error?

Turns out the .la files is supposed to be there for kde3. And the stage4 build contains the correct files.

The failure with same error even after arts was rebuilt was caused by yum picking the wrong repository. Using the fixed yum version and it works much better.

kdelibs3

kdelibs3 in F15 is FTBFS.

There is an updated kdelibs3-3.5.10-28.fc15 in which did succeed building in koji. This was never pushed as an update however and have already been cleaned by the koji garbage collector

Even the updated version fails to build on ARM but now with the following error

/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --tag=CXX   --mode=link g++  -DNDEBUG -DNO_DEBUG -O2 -O2 -g -march=armv7-a -mfloat-abi=hard -mfpu=vfpv3-d16 -mthumb -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common  -DQT_CLEAN_NAMESPACE -DQT_NO_ASCII_CAST -DQT_NO_STL -DQT_NO_COMPAT -DQT_NO_TRANSLATION  -L/usr/lib/qt-3.3/lib  -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--enable-new-dtags  -no-undefined -version-info 3:0:2  -o libartskde.la -rpath /usr/lib libartskde_la.all_cc.lo libartskde_la.all_cpp.lo  ../../kio/libkio.la -lqtmcop -lsoundserver_idl

/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or directory
make[3]: Leaving directory `/builddir/build/BUILD/kdelibs-3.5.10/arts/kde'

This seems to be caused by stray .la files which have been packaged in the arts binary rpm package (not even -devel). These stray .la files is seen even on the primary arches but contents seem to differ and build there succeeds.

arts have been rebuilt in stage4 and looks better. kdelibs3 build now suceeding

libSM

FTBFS in F15. No fixed package available.

Patched in stage3

Reworked the patch a little and added to FTBFS bug #660819

Some further investigation and it's actually xmlto that is broken causing FTBFS here and in a number of other packages. xmlto Bug #681909

Compiles fine with updated/fixed xmlto.

sqlite

sqlite-3.7.5-3 fails in several selftests

it is built in stage3 somehow but there is no SRPM or spec file available on arm-temp so can't tell how.

there is a newer -5 build in koji by pbrobinson, disabling self tests on arm, but never pushed as an update and have been garbage collected. Regenerated from git.

Should investigate with upstream why those selftests fail. Also check a more current version.

Wed Sep 14 23:05:27 GMT 2011 gcc-4.6.1-4.fc15.0.arm1 STARTING
Thu Sep 15 02:56:11 GMT 2011 gcc-4.6.1-4.fc15.0.arm1 DONE

ARMv5tel: Unmodified gcc-4.6.1-9.fc15 built fine (GA version fails, this is an update to fix #697685 and #733549). Needed to be bootstrapped first without cloog (trivial spec change), then libtool compiled, then cloog, then gcc(unmodified). Done successfully.

soprano

Depends on qt-docs (why?) which were not included in the stage3 build.

Depends on phonon -> PackageKit-gstreamer-plugin

Built somehow with qt-docs added from f15-updates.

qt

An updated qt-4.7.3-6.fc15 was built somehow in stage3, but the -doc package was not included.

The same version fails to build from source in stage4.

The original qt-4.7.2-8.fc15 release version fails with a problem related to mysql or openssl:

DEBUG util.py:247:  ERROR with rpm_check_debug vs depsolve:
DEBUG util.py:247:  openssl-devel(armv7hnl-32) is needed by mysql-devel-5.5.10-2.fc15.armv7hl
DEBUG util.py:247:  (1, [u'Please report this error in http://yum.baseurl.org/report'])

this may be related to the yum repository priority problem, or the mysql-devel package in stage3 is borked. But seems this error is only seen sometimes?

mysql have been rebuilt, solving the above problem.

but then fails on a build problem

../../include/QtCore/../../src/corelib/arch/qatomic_arm.h: In function 'void qt_removeObject(QObject*)':

which is odd as the cpu do support thumb mode.

Upstream bug report: https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com//browse/QTBUG-15911 which is supposedly fixed. Confusing. Or was that only in Qt-4.8?

Others seeing same problem http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/7304 http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/Building_Qt http://www.qtcentre.org/threads/44311-unkown-toolchain

There is also some mention in the above bug report about Thumb2 not really being a supported platform for Qt.

Seems armv7 is not a supported platform either. Supported platforms are "Generic ARM" and "ARMv6", and ours gets detected as "Generic ARM". If QT had detected it as QT_ARHC_ARMV6 it probably would have worked. Later versions supposedly support ARMv7 as well.

Configure flags needed: -arch armv6 -no-neon

Also need the Thumb2 patch from QTBUG-16402 fix ARM Thumb2 build https://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/1121

Alternatively enable "-Wa, -mimplicit-it=thumb" in rpmrc letting GAS automatically adjust ARM assembly code for Thumb mode.

kdelibs

qt is in stage3, and qt-docs have been copied from noarch.

Others having the same problem reports it fixed after rebuilding raptor and soprano. Trying. Noticeable is that both raptor and soprano uses Qt4 which was just rebuilt with both different compiler flags & version.

soprano & raptor rebuilt. New kdelibs build running.

Searching for the same error locates an ancient Debian bug report from 2001 with the same symptoms. Debian Bug #94097. Unfortunately no hints at all to how it was fixed or what was causing it.

armv5tel also fails with the same error. armv5tel cln-1.3.1-1.fc13 failed build

Builds fine in x86_64 F15 with updates however.

Running an mock build for testing. Should reach the failing point in some hours.

An interesting "hint" found in Debian:

+	./configure --prefix=/usr `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE`
+	# * ARM: CLN's assembler support is not working properly (it was only
+	#   'theoretically' ported by copying from code that had once worked in
+	#   CLISP under BSD). Same for armel.
+	# * HPPA: Assembler support is not working properly.  Somebody needs to
+	#   investigate but currently I don't have the inspiration for fixing
+	#   things on exotic architectures.
+	# * SPARC: With some versions of GCC, there are apparently problems in
+	#   passing return values in %g1.
+	case `dpkg-architecture -qDEB_HOST_ARCH` in \
+	  arm|armel|hppa|sparc) \
+	    ${MAKE} CPPFLAGS="-DNO_ASM" CXXFLAGS="-O2";; \
+	  *) \

which is the fix for the debian bug report mentioned above. Why haven't the upstream been contacted to by default disable asm on these? This have been in Debian since 2001 (cln-1.0 something).

Oh well.. it's reported all right.. INSTALL says

CLN is known to work with:
=========================

which almost matches Debian. The list above do not indicate known problems on linux/sparc, only solaris (sparc).

kdebase

KDE Core Applications

Depends on kdebase-workspace which depends on google-gadgets. google-gadgets is both mainline FTBFS and deprecated from F16+. There should be some hints by looking at how it's built on F16. May even be fixed by the updated versions in F15.

Alternatively convince google-gadgets to build again.

Discussed the topic with package owners. google-gadgets is dead, let it rest in piece. Rex Dieter have excluded google-gadgets on the arm platform in koji F15 build kdebase-workspace-4.6.5-6.fc15.

This requires all of KDE to be updated to 4.6.5. Downloaded to SRPMS/build/kde-4.6.5/ to be ready to queue them when kdebase is done.

Locally queued kdelibs, kdepimlibs, kdebase-workspace, kdebase, will queue the others when these are done.

Failed on kdebase-workspace again, this time due to missing libcln-devel.

kdebase-workspace cooking again after builddeps resolved.

Rebuilt fine after thumb mode was disabled in redhat-rpm-macros.

Why is it mainline FTBFS then?

llvm

in stage 3 only

Requires a rebuilt ocaml (ocaml in stage3 is missing /usr/bin/ocamlrun). [dj]

Rebuilt fine after ocaml was fixed. No arm specific changes.

ocaml

in stage 3 only

ocaml has two problems: First, the spec file has armv4 instead of %{arm}. Second, the configury does not enable the "natdynlink" feature for arm, so the list of installed files doesn't match the spec file's list. I have not determined if natdynlink works for arm, so I don't know whether the configury or the spec file need changing. [dj]

depends on itself but hopefully the copy in stage3 will do fine.

Running a build with %{arm}. Hno 07:34, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Processing files: ocaml-3.12.0-5.fc15.0.arm1.armv7hl
error: File not found by glob: /builddir/build/BUILDROOT/ocaml-3.12.0-5.fc15.0.arm1.arm/usr/lib/ocaml/*.cmxs

is this from the "natdynlink" mismatch mentioned above?

Yes, the files have different names if they're not the "natdynlink" style. [dj]

To bootstrap ocaml: In a suitable build environment (i.e. not mock), rpmbuild -bc ocaml.spec. This will eventually fail, but you'll have a boot/ocamlrun binary. If you don't already have a partial ocaml RPM, you can "make install" this build; if you do have a partial ocaml RPM, you still need to copy the just-built boot/ocamlrun to /usr/bin/ocamlrun. Then rpmbuild again.

ghc

ghc needs ghc to build, but we do not have ghc..

http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/Building/Porting documents the bootstrapping procedure, but in ghc-7.0.2 bootstraping procedure seems completely broken.

Debian do have ghc-7.0.4 arm hardfloat. will try using that as initial compiler.

http://http.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-armhf/main/g/ghc/

also needs libgmp10 från http://http.debian-ports.org/debian/pool-armhf/main/g/gmp/

after manual installation and library location fixup, finish ghc installation by running:

ghc-pkg recache --global

and replace /usr/bin/ghc with a small wrapper to work around implicit DSO issues relating to pthread

#!/bin/sh
exec /usr//lib/ghc/bin/ghc "$@" -lpthread

Fix ExclusiveArch in ghc.spec and unpack sources by rpmbuild -bp ghc.spec --nodeps

Install as many of the dependencies as possible.

Build it:

./configure
make

seems get started. May even work as rpm. Aborting to retry using rpm.

testbuild of hscolour

Fix ExclusiveArch in hscolour.spec and attempt rebuilding it with --nodeps.

failed. Not sure why.

./Setup configure
./Setup build
sudo ./Setup install

works however. Closer inspection of the rpmbuild output shows that it's probably profiling related. The debian install do not have profiling libs. Digging a little in /etc/rpm/ghc.macros shows there is a without_prof define.

rpmbuild -ba hscolour.spec  --nodeps -D"without_prof 1" -D"without_haddock 1" -D"without_hscolour 1"
sudo rpm -i ../RPMS/armv7hl/hscolour-1.17-8.fc15.0.arm1.armv7hl.rpm
rpmbuild -ba hscolour.spec  --nodeps -D"without_prof 1" -D"without_haddock 1"

looks good. So it's possible to bootstrap this package fully using rpm.

native ghc

rpmbuild -ba ghc.spec  --nodeps

failed.. needing some overrides. Reverting to begin with a manual build again. Done.

ghc-7.0.2 for Fedora now available as .tar.gz. Will clean out the build root and continue bootstraping with only this installed, pruning out the remains of the foreign Debian version.

mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result $PWD --chroot "rpm -i /builddir/build/RPMS/*hscolour* --nodeps"

and finally a full native build of ghc

mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result $PWD --unpriv --chroot 'rpmbuild --rebuild builddir/ghc-7.0.2-16.3.fc15.0.arm1.src.rpm --nodeps'

First had problems with GCC crashing on internal error, but the reason to that was that I had forgot to activate the right swap partition after a reboot between manual build and rpmbuild steps.

Then a little overoptimisic on the mainline patchwork. It seems the patch to use system provided libffi only works on platforms where ghci is supported. A bit unfortunate as it means we will be using a bundled copy instead of the system provided one. This should be looked into.

mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result $PWD --chroot "rpm -iv /builddir/*hscolour*armv7hl.rpm --nodeps"

mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result $PWD --unpriv --chroot 'rpmbuild --rebuild builddir/ghc-7.0.2-16.3.fc15.0.arm3.src.rpm --nodeps'

failed after 13 hours due to a stupid ghc.spec error of mine %{without where i meant %{with

mock -r fedora-15-armhfp --result $PWD --unpriv --chroot 'rpmbuild --rebuild builddir/ghc-7.0.2-16.3.fc15.0.arm4.src.rpm --nodeps'

finished.

result uploaded to stage3, and srpms sent to the build farm for clean mock builds.

ExlusiveArch on ghc related packages also updated to include armv7hl to try to shake out which packags build on armv7hl and which needs more attention.

mainline merge

Work is progressing together with mainline package owner juhp to integrate the arm changes mainline, starting with ghc and then the other packages. Hno 12:48, 30 September 2011 (UTC)

main ghc package changes have been merged mainline. Still remains to address all the other packages where armv7hl have been added as supported arch. Hno 02:03, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
