Cmake CROSS COMPILE problem [PLEASE HELP, URGENT] #sdk #yocto #toolchain


Bel Hadj Salem Talel <bhstalel@...>
 

Hi All,

I'm in serious task here and I need to cross compile a Cmake project.
I need to send an SDK to a client with steps to cross compile the project.
This project is compiling successfully via a Yocto recipe that inherits cmake.
I extracted an SDK from the main image adding TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK_append=" nativesdk-cmake" to add the Toolchain cmake file which is located under: /home/talel/Documents/sensesdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/share/cmake/OEToolchainConfig.cmake :
Here is its content:

set( CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux )
set( CMAKE_C_FLAGS $ENV{CFLAGS} CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
set( CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS $ENV{CXXFLAGS}  CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
set( CMAKE_ASM_FLAGS ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
set( CMAKE_LDFLAGS_FLAGS ${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} CACHE STRING "" FORCE )
set( CMAKE_SYSROOT $ENV{OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT} )
set( CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH $ENV{OECORE_TARGET_SYSROOT} )
set( CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER )
set( CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY ONLY )
set( CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE ONLY )
set( CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PACKAGE ONLY )
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX "$ENV{OE_CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_CUSTOM_LIB_SUFFIX}")
# Set CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR from the sysroot name (assuming processor-distro-os).
if ($ENV{SDKTARGETSYSROOT} MATCHES "/sysroots/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)-.+-.+")
  set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR ${CMAKE_MATCH_1})
endif()
# Include the toolchain configuration subscripts
file( GLOB toolchain_config_files "${CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE}.d/*.cmake" )
foreach(config ${toolchain_config_files})
    include(${config})
endforeach()


The project is working with gRPC and Protobuf. There is a .cmake files that are responsible for searching for gRPC and Protobuf libs

Here is what I tried after sourcing the SDK environment:
1) A simple "cmake .." with no options:

Setting build type to 'RelWithDebInfo' as none was specified.

protobuf is found, but not gRPC, now when I make:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'GRPC_CPP_PLUGIN-NOTFOUND', needed by 'protos/sense_api_settings.grpc.pb.cc'.  Stop.
CMakeFiles/Makefile2:734: recipe for target 'protos/CMakeFiles/sense_api_settings_grpc.dir/all' failed
make[1]: *** [protos/CMakeFiles/sense_api_settings_grpc.dir/all] Error 2

make: *** [all] Error 2

I searched for a solution and I added the -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/home/talel/Documents/sensesdk/sysroots/aarch64-poky-linux/usr option to my SDK rootfs
Here is the result of cmake..:

  It fails with the following output:

I tried to add C and CXX options : -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER_WORKS=1 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER_WORKS=1:
Now it shows this:

and now when I make same error ; syntax error in protobuf

Here is the main CMakeLists:

Help me please on this. It is really urgent, I tried a lot.
Thanks, Talel
