If you never use sstate and always build everything from scratch you
will never see this problem.  However, if you use sstate and build
directories that last a long time eventually you can end up with the
scenario where libtool gets a hard coded path in it for sed, and sed
may not exist.  The reason you don't see this problem to often if you
generally build from scratch is that libtool builds before sed and
will pickup the host's /bin/sed.

The way to reproduce the issue is:

bitbake some_image
bitbake -c cleansstate libtool-native
bitbake sed-native
bitbake libtool-native
bitbake -c clean sed-native
bitbake ANY_PACKAGE_THAT_USES_LIBTOOL_NATIVE

In my case I used modphp, which doesn't exist in the oe-core. You will
end up with a strange looking error like:

| make[1]: *** [buckets/apr_buckets_alloc.lo] Error 1
| /opt/build/bitbake_build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-libtool: line 981: /opt/build/bitbake_build/tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux//bin/sed: No such file or directory

The solution is to always use /bin/sed for libtool-native.

Do we have to set a path for it? Can't we rely on PATH being sane? I'm
wondering if we should actually set this in the core site files.
Hardcoding a path to utilities never usually ends well and this is just
the tip of an iceberg.

If we have to use a path, "${bindir}/env sed"?

Cheers,

Richard

We considered this.  The problem w/ using env to call sed is there is a small 
window where the sed-native is being constructed, that we can have a failure.

The libtool seems to be in a class of its own with respect to internally hard coding things, so I am inclined to say this is a one off because A) it is libtool and B) it is part of the boot strap. For any other packages I have not observed any kind of problem with the sysroot sed vs host provided sed.

Unfortunately doing ${bindir}/env sed can lead to a fairly rare race where sed can be there an get removed later because it will prefer the sed in the sysroot area because it is in the path first.  I never hit any of these problems until recently while continuing to just randomly build things with the usual stream of updates from the git repository.

If we want libtool-native to use something other than /bin/sed on the host, the bootstrap needs some kind of overhaul to make libtool depend correctly on sed.  Currently we end up with a circular dependency if you try to make libtool-native depend on sed-native.

Jason.

Does it make sense for sed-native to ever be built? I know we have
issues with some others like tar, bzip/gzip and friends but no issues
with sed afaik?
