QuestionSOLVED "configure" script option PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW fails to run on X86 Pin
Vaclav_4-May-19 3:51

I am trying to learn how to build a package (bluez) from source.
My main objective is to build a bluez library for ARM architecture so I can cross-compile my application on X86 architecture and run it (--host) on ARM.
For such purpose I option autotool generated “configure” script.
There is nothing special about “configure” options for cross-compiling– all “normal” options.
I have been making reasonable progress, but periodically running into “problems”.
Since “configure” is a product of autotools it has a nasty feature failing when debug code is inserted into wrong place.
BUT – one of the standard debugging “configure” options is to ADD environment variable(s) PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW=set.
When it works it aids in debugging.
My “current problem” is – for unknown reason PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW quit working on my X86 system.

So I installed fresh bluez on my ARM – Raspberry Pi 3B machine , and run plain “configure” with PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW=set.
The “configure” script completed, so did “make” and “make install”.
All normal, no errors or issues.

I repeated the same – fresh install etc. on my X86 and got NO PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW output.
I did check the config.log and it has the PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW option “invoked”.


I suspect the “pkg-config” MAY be the problem, I do hope it is NOT my Ubuntu OS running on X86.
I did try to purge and reinstall “pkg-config” but run into too many dependencies.

I am attaching the actual output from "configure" where pkg-config is actually run
and PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW is active


checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW variable enabling debug spew

no output option set, defaulting to --exists

Any (reasonable) suggestion how to recover and get PKG_CONFIG_DEBUG_SPEW functioning on X86 would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

SOLUTION

Reinstall "pkg-config" package.
