I am trying to build AGL(with poky icefish) as per instructions in https://wiki.automotivelinux.org/agl-distro/source-code inside a container based off crops/poky(https://github.com/crops/poky-container/blob/master/Dockerfile)

While running bitbake agl-demo-platform, I am getting the following error in perl-native-5.24.4-r0 recipe's do_configure phase from Configure script(I am using https://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-3.1/buildtools/x86_64-buildtools-extended-nativesdk-standalone-3.1.sh to install buildtools-extended)

Following are the gcc and ld versions in the SDK

I tried switching to a different SDK 3.1.1 (https://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-3.1.1/buildtools/x86_64-buildtools-nativesdk-standalone-3.1.1.sh) but that causes a hang in do_fetch in bitbake(https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62629159/aglbitbake-agl-demo-platform-hangs-in-task-16)

  • do you have libnsl installed and in a location where the tools can find it? – brian d foy Jul 01 '20 at 19:37

    *"ld: cannot find -lnsl"* : See also: https://gist.github.com/tpoxa/01bc06febb6b9c904baca639fe4d54d3 – Håkon Hægland Jul 01 '20 at 19:42
  • The superficial problem is that `gcc` is directed to link against `libnsl` (via `-lnsl`), but the linker can't find this library. (I have no idea what that is, what it's needed for, or why it might not be present.) – ikegami Jul 01 '20 at 21:51
  • I think it refers to [Network Information Service](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_Information_Service)? Not sure how that's used. I wonder if Perl could survive without it by removing `-lnsl` from the default of `What libraries to use?`. – ikegami Jul 01 '20 at 22:00
  • [This](http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/basicnet/libnsl.html) suggests it used to be part of gcc and that it's not anymore, and the link provided by Håkon Hægland shows how to install the replacement to which I linked at the start of this comment. Of course, it's entirely possible that your distro provides a package that provides libnsl. – ikegami Jul 01 '20 at 22:07

Since libnsl is no longer included in gcc 9.3 provided by the buildtools-tarball, you can use libnsl2 instead (tested on poky thud):
