It looks like m4 is failing. Might this be because it is built using a too recent glibc?
When running that docker interactively and installing m4/1.4.18 from cci, does m4 run?

I assume the binary doesn't work on CentOS6 b/c it has glibc 2.12

I can build autoconf and automake after building m4 from source, but their test package also fail.

I can build autoconf and automake after building m4 from source, but their test package also fail.

There is something fundamentally wrong with the/your docker image, because the conan generators fail to create conanbuildinfo.txt. It fails before even start building the test_package.

dheater · 2020-07-14T23:29:16Z

This is using one of the "official" conan docker images https://github.com/conan-io/conan-docker-tools/blob/master/gcc_7-centos6/Dockerfile

dheater · 2020-07-15T00:30:35Z

Figured out that the conanbuildinfo.txt file was not getting created b/c I was on a mounted volume where the conan user didn't have write permission.

m4 builds and tests pass now.

dheater · 2020-07-15T00:32:59Z

Now when I go up to autoconf and try conan create . autoconf/2.69@ I get:

dheater · 2020-07-15T00:37:56Z

If I conan create m4/1.4.18@ before conan create . autoconf/2.69@, it works.

madebr · 2020-07-15T01:24:55Z

Apart from the m4 glibc issue.
Were you seeing this problem? #2196
This is getting fixed by #2197

dheater · 2020-07-15T02:26:29Z

I don't think it is related to #2196 but #2197 might fix it anyway.

Seems more related to #2102 . If I comment out the m4 build require for autoconf, then autoconf builds fine (with the m4 version from the docker image, 1.4.13) .

automake builds IFF I first rebuild autoconf without the explicit dependency on m4

dheater · 2020-07-15T02:44:11Z

I still get the same error with autoconf in the conanio/gcc7-centos6 image using your autoconf_info_requires branch @madebr

Now when I go up to autoconf and try conan create . autoconf/2.69@ I get:

madebr · 2020-07-15T03:27:43Z

The autoconf_info_requires branch does not fix the glibc situation. That requires another set of docker images, which is a WIP by @uilianries .

dheater · 2020-07-15T03:38:45Z

Do you have a link to the glibc issue.

It seems my problem now is here:

autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /usr/bin/env m4

Since the recipe works if I remove the autoconf's explicit dependency on m4, I'm wondering if autom4te is trying to use a different (the image's) m4 instead of the dependency version. I wonder if the M4 environment variable needs to be set to point to the right version.

I'm finding this in the autoreconf --help from the original autoconf package:

The environment variables AUTOM4TE, AUTOCONF, AUTOHEADER, AUTOMAKE,
ACLOCAL, AUTOPOINT, LIBTOOLIZE, M4, and MAKE are honored.

madebr · 2020-07-15T03:51:42Z

autoconf and family picks up m4 using the M4 environment variable first, then the m4 executable it can find in the $PATH.
The m4 recipe sets the M4 environment variable.
The other environment variables are set in automake and libtool, I think.

There is discussion all over the place about glibc, but the main one is here: #213

dheater · 2020-07-15T04:28:34Z

I think patch 0004 is overriding the M4 environment variable with /usr/bin/etc/ m4

If I skip that patch and set self.env_info.M4 = "/home/conan/.conan/data/m4/1.4.18/_/_/package/83f496dd959691e3a99d4debe3b1f5b82f7ef212/bin/m4"

Still fails, but now with the error:

autom4te: need GNU m4 1.4 or later: /home/conan/.conan/data/m4/1.4.18/_/_/package/83f496dd959691e3a99d4debe3b1f5b82f7ef212/bin/m4

uilianries · 2020-07-15T22:06:49Z

Hello, indeed another glibc version problem, unfortunately we don't have a good solution, you need to build from sources to keep all packages aligned with the same glibc version. The idea [here] (conan-io/conan-docker-tools#204) is provide a generic docker image, using the glibc version for all compilers. It's WIP because we will need to bring to CCI too, like, building all packages again and switching the index. Well, that's the idea, but will need some time, because there are more than one team involved. I'll talk again to Conan team to continue those images, I think it's possible to provide them to people, at least they will be able to use someone more aligned.

dheater · 2020-07-15T22:15:14Z

Thanks @uilianries . I'm fine with building from source.

Any idea why the autoconf package is failing when using the m4 package listed as a build requirement (1.4.18)?
If I comment out the build requirement for m4 the package builds (using m4 version 1.4.13 installed in the image).

madebr · 2020-07-20T15:58:11Z

This is the result from running m4, built by ci:

So currently, you'll have to build m4 yourself.

dheater · 2020-07-23T16:19:16Z

As a workaround. I changed the build policy for the packages hitting this problem from --build=missing to --build (build_policy=all when using conan-package-tools)

madebr · 2020-07-30T15:32:19Z

@uilianries
I think it would be interesting to tag all glibc issues.
Or gather them under a github project.
