Elfutils and libargp issue with musl

Elfutils and libargp issue with musl

[Daniel G.]

Hello,

As part of my customized linux operating system, based in musl (1.1.20 git
source), I'm trying to build from source elfutils-0.174, but there is
configuration issue with a libargp dependency:

configure: WARNING: "libc does not have argp"
checking for argp_parse in -largp... no
configure: error: "no libargp found"


I would appreciate any information about:
- a reliable source for libargp (to build from source)
- or an alternative to elfutils
- other ideas.

Thank you in advance.

Hi.

most musl distro use argp-standalone extracted from gnulib:
https://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/misc/argp-standalone-1.3.tar.gz.

but gnu argp actually has a bug with musl's dgettext(intl):
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2019-01/msg00046.html, which
has been fixed upstream. if you need intl, apply the patch.

also i recently extracted libuargp from uclibc:
https://github.com/xhebox/libuargp, which is modified to work with musl's
dgettext and to be the successor to the old argp-standalone.

best regards

Elfutils and error.h (was Elfutils and libargp issue with musl)

Hi again,

First of all, thank for the quick response. I've just installed 
https://github.com/xhebox/libuargp and it's working fine.

But elfutils is still giving some problems, this time with error.h. For 
example:

In file included from xmalloc.c:37:
system.h:33:10: error fatal: error.h: No such file or directory
  #include <error.h>

I've seen that it was reported as a bug, 
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=21008#c2, and I'm 
studying some patches. In any case, It would be very helpful more 
information about this issue with error.h.

Best regards,

Daniel Gutiérrez

Thanks.

For information:

There is an oversight in the commit
65a05ff1b465c2c7cb7c51b98795b701d0181584 "add static lib".

An empty static lib is being created.

s/LIBOBJS/OBJS/ in the Makefile?
