QNX6.6 cross-compilation problem

[Nicolas Pinault]

Hi,

I'm trying to cross-compile Samba (V4.11.6) for QNX6.6.0.
For this, I've installed QNX dev tools on Ubuntu in a VMWare virtual 
machine (My PC runs Windows10).

To cross-compile Samba, the command I run is :
CC=ntoarmv7-gcc AR=ntoarmv7-ar LD=armv7nto-ld GDB=armv7nto-gdb 
CFLAGS=-I/home/nicolas/qnx660/target/qnx6/usr/include waf configure 
--cross-compile --cross-anwsers=qnx.txt

I filled the unknown fields in the qnx.txt as requested.

The configuration runs till it hangs at this step :
...
Checking for pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np : not found
Checking for library 
pthread                                                      : no
Checking for pthread_mutexattr_setrobust_np : not found
Checking for declaration of 
PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST                                  : not found
Checking for declaration of PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST (as 
enum)                        :

Sometimes, configuration hangs one or two steps earlier.

bin/config.log shows :
...
#include <pthread.h>

  int main(void) {
                       return (int)PTHREAD_MUTEX_ROBUST;
                       ; return 0; }

While the configurafion is hung, ps-ax shows the following :

"/home/nicolas/samba/"  import ...


When I comment out "Mutext Robust" tests, the configuration hangs much 
further. But it hangs.

As I thought it might be a concurrency problem, I tried with --jobs=1 
option.
This does not work at all. Exceptions are generated at the very 
beginning of the process.


I also tried using --cross-execute option. Same problem.


I spent days on this problem, trying different things but I'm stuck at 
this problem.

Any pointers ?

Nicolas
