LIN7-96 : binutils should DEPEND on sed-native

Created: May 21, 2014    Updated: Apr 19, 2018
Resolved Date: Apr 17, 2018
Found In Version: 7.0
Severity: Standard
Applicable for: Wind River Linux 7
Component/s: Userspace

Description

configure finds sed, and it probably does not matter if it uses /bin/sed instead of our version.  However, the recipe for binutils-crosssdk invokes "sed" directly and this can fail if sed-native is being installed to sysroot when the call is made.

Workaround

Build sed-native before any binutils package.

Steps to Reproduce

Too difficult to try, but the failure was observed in at least one nightly build and the log shows sed-native being installed while binutils-crosssdk was being built.  You can also cleansstate for binutils and sed-native, then build binutils and see that sed-native is not built first.
