Cross compiling guile 2.0.2 on openwrt MIPS architecture.

Cross compiling guile 2.0.2 on openwrt MIPS architecture.

 Hi,

 I am trying to cross compile guile 2 on MIPS architecture using Openwrt.
My host machine and the target machine are little endian and both are 32 bit
architecture.
I managed to compile the binaries and .go files by defining GUILE_FOR_BUILD
as /usr/local/bin/guile.
But unfortunately, the guile binary doesn't work on the target machine and
it only gives "Aborted" as error and quits.
 the target machine doesn't have gdb and backtrace so it is even difficult
to find the problem.
Can anyone please help to find the possible issue?

Regards
Jiva

Hi,

the target have strace. I will report the results here once I can use it.
I think one of the patch I was using might also have caused this issue.
So i have included the original error message here. If the patch was causing
this issue, It might be possible to solve this in some other way.
The error message is here:  http://pastebin.com/u1xsmKpg  .

The patch is this: http://pastebin.com/GRjYZSv3

If we could solve this error without this patch, may be we will have
different result.

Hi Jiva,

I’ve reproduced the error message you posted below:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
i18n.c: In function 'str_upcase_l':
i18n.c:874:12: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
i18n.c:874:12: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
i18n.c: In function 'str_downcase_l':
i18n.c:883:12: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
i18n.c:883:12: error: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type
make[6]: *** [libguile_2.0_la-i18n.lo] Error 1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I looks like the version of uClibc you’re using has incomplete or
non-standard support for ‘locale_t’ objects.  It could be that an extra
header file must be included so that ‘toupper_l’ and ‘tolower_l’ (lines
874 and 883) are usable.

Can you check that and report back?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
