May 12 07:07:18 <ant__> khem, gm
May 12 07:08:22 <ant__> I've learned in the hard way the --with-mips-plt flag
May 12 07:09:24 <ant__> I could not link some private modules, tried all...
May 12 07:11:29 <khem> ant__:  what errors do you see
May 12 07:11:54 <ant__> the ptog(kodi) did crash with coredump, no logs
May 12 07:12:18 <khem> hmm 
May 12 07:12:19 <ant__> I think I should have inspected the bin seeking for .plt/.got?
May 12 07:12:34 <khem> did you compile it with -mno-plt
May 12 07:12:37 <khem> and then it works 
May 12 07:12:52 <ant__> I was using standard OE tc , zeus and dunfell
May 12 07:12:55 <ant__> (old)
May 12 07:13:27 <ant__> then I found about a strange DISTRO_FEATURE  'mplt'  which triggets the flag
May 12 07:13:39 <khem> yes default assumes PLT/copyrel support
May 12 07:13:59 <ant__> how can I verify? looking at the sections?
May 12 07:15:32 <khem> did you have 'mplt' in DISTRO_FEATURES
May 12 07:16:18 <ant__> it's not OE, is a derived distro
May 12 07:16:57 <ant__> these group of distros for STB (OpenPLi, ..) uses older versions, now zeus atm
May 12 07:17:23 <ant__> only that one was unable to compile kodi with the  v3ddrivers
May 12 07:17:44 <ant__> problem was it lacks --with-mips-plt
May 12 07:17:51 <khem> yeah thats ok, but default is -mno-plt and if you do not have mplt in DISTRO_FEATURES then it remains same ( -mno-plt) so I wonder where did it change?
May 12 07:17:53 <ant__> rebuilt all kodi runs now
May 12 07:18:09 <ant__> hmm
May 12 07:18:48 <khem> so it seems you have some broadcom SDK prebuilts which are compiled with -mplt ?
May 12 07:18:57 <ant__> I found that in the right
May 12 07:19:00 <ant__> right
May 12 07:19:09 <khem> well thats too bad 
May 12 07:19:17 <ant__> how can you check?
May 12 07:19:33 <ant__> I don't see any .plt nor .got in the shlibs
May 12 07:19:51 <khem> do they have .note sections ?
May 12 07:21:34 <ant__> no
May 12 07:22:14 <khem> well if all you get is shared libs then -mplt is not effective for shared libs 
May 12 07:22:35 <khem> so there is something else perhaps static libs or so
May 12 07:22:55 <ant__> libdvb_base.so, libdvb_client.so, libnxpl.so, libv3ddriver.so, libxbmc_base.so
May 12 07:23:03 <ant__> do you know them ?
May 12 07:23:04 <ant__> ;)
May 12 07:23:44 <ant__> well, the good news for you are that it was failing/compiling in the same way with ld gold
May 12 07:24:23 <khem> see if you have R_MIPS_26 type relocs in objects
May 12 07:25:18 <khem> disable gold for mips
May 12 07:25:53 <ant__> he he, you told me :)
May 12 07:27:28 <ant__> I'll disassemble now and tell
May 12 07:27:54 <ant__> by the way, do you suggest lto plugin?
May 12 07:28:01 <ant__> koi has PACKAGECONFIG[lto] = "-DUSE_LTO=${@oe.utils.cpu_count()},-DUSE_LTO=OFF"
May 12 07:29:49 <ant__> I ask because in do_configure log (CMake project) I see
May 12 07:30:01 <ant__> CMake Warning:
May 12 07:30:02 <ant__>   Manually-specified variables were not used by the project:
May 12 07:30:02 <ant__>     USE_LTO
May 12 07:38:22 <ant__> khem, only R_MIPS_REL32 
May 12 07:42:03 <khem> yeah USE_LTO is perhaps wrong knob
May 12 07:42:10 <khem> it might have changed or renamed
May 12 07:53:45 <mckoan> good morning
May 12 21:17:16 <tlwoerner> The Yocto Project Summit will be starting in less than 2 weeks!
