Re: [PATCH 03/26] meson: configure and use generic exe_wrapper


Alexander Kanavin
 

It seems like the issue is not that qemu can't run the executable, it's that executable it wants to run is not there. I'm not sure why it wants to run something in a 'system' location through qemu, as I do not have access to your layer.

If qemu-usermode is not in MACHINE_FEATURES, then the wrapper is not configured at all, and so things should go back to what they were. Can you check that it's not?

Unfortunately, the meta layer I made for android native would be the
victim of that.

| DEBUG: Executing shell function do_configure
| NOTE: Executing meson ...
| qemu-arm: Could not open '/system/bin/linker': No such file or directory
| The Meson build system
| Version: 0.60.1

I am not sure how I should make qemu usermode be compatible with the
Android environment. I just add "qemu-usermode" into
MACHINE_FEATURES_BACKFILL_CONSIDERED in the machine configure of the
meta-android-ndk.

I should report this more early but I can't spend much time on this
android project.
