Hi

Trying to compile libreelec.tv 8.2.5 and 8.0.1, 8.0.2 with command PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image

results to:

Code

checking target system type... configure: error: /bin/sh /home/tmpuser/tmp/LibreELEC.tv-8.2.0.1/build.LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.0.1/binutils-2.27/config.sub -libreelec-linux-gnu failed
configure: WARNING: cache variable ac_cv_target contains a newline
Makefile:12: recipe for target 'image' failed

Anyone experienced this?

What are you compiling on?

On 16.04 ubuntu 64 bit intel

Can anyone help out with this issue?

Run this command and post result you get (on Pastebin.com - #1 paste tool since 2002!).

Code

fgrep -r ac_cv_target build.LibreELEC-*/binutils-*/.*gnu | grep config.*

Hi

I get this result:

build.LibreELEC-S905.arm-8.2.0.1/binutils-2.27/.x86_64-linux-gnu/config.log:configure:2400: WARNING: cache variable ac_cv_target contains a newline

I looked up also configure

Code

# The following way of writing the cache mishandles newlines in values,
# but we know of no workaround that is simple, portable, and efficient.
# So, we kill variables containing newlines.
# Ultrix sh set writes to stderr and can't be redirected directly,
# and sets the high bit in the cache file unless we assign to the vars.

  for ac_var in `(set) 2>&1 | sed -n 's/^\([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*\)=.*/\1/p'`; do

If you got only this then I don't see what could be wrong. Grep other files for ac_cv_target to see why it is wrong.

Sadly I don't see anything useful.

Which shell are you using?

Code

echo $SHELL

ivaat · October 18, 2018 at 5:58 PM

hi

tmpuser@Streaming1:~$ echo $SHELL

/bin/bash

Could you or anyone else confirm that for them Libreelec compailing works with binutils binutils-2.27

with env:

PROJECT=S905 ARCH=arm make image

PS! At moment for me Libreelec has global bug. Tested all stable versions from 8.x series

**vpeter** · October 18, 2018 at 6:42 PM

I don't see S905 project in LE.

ivaat · October 19, 2018 at 10:16 AM

Could you try with project what you have? RPi for example

**vpeter** · October 19, 2018 at 10:22 AM

Last time I build generic successfully.

What bug you have?

ivaat · October 19, 2018 at 11:13 AM

Sir, look at forum thread again. Bug is described there.

I only see you can't build image. Not any bug with LE.
