LIN8-2065 : Makefile Projects fail to build for "native-standard-native" build spec due to --sysroot in tool invocation

Created: Dec 3, 2015 Updated: Apr 19, 2018

Resolved Date: Apr 17, 2018

Found In Version: 8.0.0.0.LB10

Severity: Standard

Applicable for: Wind River Linux 8

Component/s: Workbench Integration

Description

Creating a Makefile project, the native-standard-native build spec calls out to tools including the argument --sysroot=/. Host ld (Fedora 19 - binutils-2.23.52.0.1-8.fc19.x86_64) doesn't like that and complains "not configured to use sysroots". One of the sample projects i have is failing to build because of this. Also affects CentOS 6.6, using the "Helloworld Makefile" example in Workbench:

gcc --sysroot=/ -pipe -O2 -pipe   -c -o hello.o hello.c
gcc --sysroot=/ -pipe   -o hello hello.o 
/usr/bin/ld: this linker was not configured to use sysroots
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [all] Error 1

Workaround

Remove the --sysroot argument from the build spec. Select "Properties > Build Properties > Variables" and edit the "CC", "CXX", and "LD" values.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Start Workbench
2. Import a WRLinux SDK
3. File > New > Example > "Wind River Linux Makefile Example" > Hello World
4. Set buildspec as "native-standard-native" and click build
--> Build fails
