undefined reference to `pcsc_assert_wire_constants' error when cross compiling with newest 2.2.0 version

[gabberhead]

with the older 2.1.0 version i could succesful cross compile on a x64 machine with debian for mipsel with this:

wget https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/files/pcsc-lite-2.1.0.tar.bz2
tar -xf pcsc-lite-2.1.0.tar.bz2 && cd pcsc-lite-2.1.0
export TOOLCHAIN=/opt/broadcom_7.0
export PATH="$TOOLCHAIN/bin:$PATH"
./configure --prefix=$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/ --host=mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu --disable-polkit --disable-libsystemd --disable-libudev --disable-documentation --enable-libusb LIBUSB_LIBS="-L$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/lib -lusb-1.0" LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/include/libusb-1.0"
make
make install

but this is not working anymore with the newest 2.2.0 version on the same machine. now i can configure it like this:

wget https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/files/pcsc-lite-2.2.0.tar.xz
tar -xf pcsc-lite-2.2.0.tar.xz && cd pcsc-lite-2.2.0
export TOOLCHAIN=/opt/broadcom_7.0
export PATH="$TOOLCHAIN/bin:$PATH"
./bootstrap &&
./configure
--prefix=$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/
--host=mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu
--disable-polkit
--disable-libsystemd
--disable-libudev
--disable-documentation
--enable-libusb LIBUSB_LIBS="-L$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/lib -lusb-1.0" LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/include/libusb-1.0"

and this works. but when i now do make, i get the following error:

i dont know, how to get it to work. thats why i am asking here for help :) or is this a bug? thanx for your answer in advance ;)

You should use meson instead of configure/make.

See https://blog.apdu.fr/posts/2024/05/pcsc-lite-now-uses-meson-build-tool/

[gabberhead]

never used mason. i tried now :) but i have a problem with libusb. i get the following error:

A full log can be found at /tmp/meson-logs/meson-log.txt**

the cross file looks like this:

[binaries]
c = 'mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc'
cpp = 'mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-g++'
ar = 'mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc-ar'
strip = 'mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu-strip'
pkgconfig = 'pkg-config'

[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'mipsel'
cpu = 'mipsel'
endian = 'little'

i think this is missing for meson, the old way i used:

LIBUSB_LIBS="-L$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/lib -lusb-1.0" LIBUSB_CFLAGS="-I$TOOLCHAIN/mipsel-unknown-linux-gnu/sys-root/usr/include/libusb-1.0"

but i dont know how to use this with meson.

[LudovicRousseau]

I never used cross compilation.

[gabberhead]

for years, there was no problem. is there no way to get it worked like it was before? or it is the old method now deprecated?

[gabberhead]

i managed to get it worked. the problem was in the file: pcsc-wirecheck-main.c

the default values in this file are:

#include <stdio.h>

int pcsc_assert_wire_constants(void);

int
main (/@unused@/ int argc, /@unused@/ char **argv)
{
(void)argc;
(void)argv;

printf("Checking ABI...\n");
if (0 == pcsc_assert_wire_constants ())
	printf("OK\n");
return 0;

}

with this it dont work. but when i change the line:

if (0 == pcsc_assert_wire_constants ())

to

if (0 == 0)

---

then it works without problem. i dont know if pcsc_assert_wire_constants is important, but without it, now it works like before.

the complete way i cross compile it looks like this now:

wget https://pcsclite.apdu.fr/files/pcsc-lite-2.2.1.tar.xz
tar -xf pcsc-lite-2.2.1.tar.xz && cd pcsc-lite-2.2.1
