Subject: bug#31971: meson-build-system uses 'patchelf' which fails on armhf-linux etc
Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 18:50:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <871scu5vle.fsf@netris.org> (raw)
'meson-build-system' includes 'patchelf' as an implicit input for all
packages that use it, and uses it from its 'fix-runpath' phase,
sometimes directly and sometimes via (guix build rpath).
'patchelf' is a nasty hack which seems to only work on Intel-based
systems. It certainly doesn't work on 'mips64el-linux', and when I last
investigated it seemed hard to fix this. As far as I can tell, it has
never built successfully on 'armhf-linux' either:
https://hydra.gnu.org/job/gnu/master/patchelf-0.8.armhf-linux/all
I don't know about 'aarch64-linux'.
Given that 'meson-build-system' is seeing increased usage in some
important packages, e.g. 'libinput' and several GNOME packages, this is
becoming an increasingly serious problem for non-Intel platforms.
