**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 02:59:57 2020 Sep 05 08:27:12 Anyone know why I am getting an error compiling openjre-8 ? It was working before but after a repo update it fails to compile icedtea7-native_2.1.3, it says checking whether the C compiler works...| checking whether the C compiler works... no , this is ubuntu 16.04 build system to compile for raspberry pi 4 hardware. Sep 05 08:39:56 @ikkysleepy: I suspect that your host gcc is too old Sep 05 08:40:35 @ikkysleepy: UB 16.04 default host gcc is definitely to old Sep 05 08:41:47 ah, yeah I was just looking into that, it says it's gcc 5.4, i'll try to update it to version 8 I think is what zeus default to now...? Sep 05 08:44:21 You can also update the compiler Sep 05 08:44:46 Or even better - use a build container, so you don't need to update the OS Sep 05 08:45:41 There are ready made build containers (e.g. docker) you can use as well - I would have one for you if you are interested which works with meta-java ;) Sep 05 08:46:25 I have both UB16 with a newer host gcc and UB18 where (I think) this is not needed anymore Sep 05 08:48:23 What I use currently is UB18 with a gcc9: https://github.com/RobertBerger/poky-container/blob/2020-07-26-master-local-gcc-9-gui-ub18/Dockerfile Sep 05 08:49:02 So in case of trouble just do something like this: https://github.com/RobertBerger/poky-container/blob/2020-07-26-master-local-gcc-9-gui-ub18/Dockerfile#L63 Sep 05 08:55:13 yeah I am running a build on UB18 now, got new errors for GCC8, cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors, i'll try out the docker script... thanks for your help Sep 05 08:55:57 The error was on U16 that I upgraded to GCC8 , but yeah that seems to be the problem I was having Sep 05 09:21:07 Just use the commands starting from L63 on your UB 18 and it should work Sep 05 09:21:14 Hmm Sep 05 09:21:30 Which meta-java branch do you use? Sep 05 09:23:15 Which yocto version? zeus? Sep 05 09:28:17 yeah zeus, yeah waiting on the new UB 18 build to finish so in a few hours i'll know if it worked. I had another VM with UB16 and warrior but after an update it failed to build. I am getting some errors on this VM after updating GCC to 8 so i'll wait for the UB18, which seems to be the OS to use going forward. Sep 05 09:33:47 RP: got it, thanks a lot! **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 10:31:09 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 17:23:53 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 19:54:08 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 21:41:18 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Sep 05 22:26:33 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 06 00:10:39 2020 **** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Sep 06 00:32:42 2020 **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Sep 06 02:59:57 2020
