Description HiFiBerry (Daniel) 2020-05-16 05:37:31 UTC 
Trying the 2020-05 release candidate, but can't get gobject introspection to compile

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

The make file is looking for g-ir-scanner at 
/home/matuschd/buildroot-2020.05-rc1/output/host/bin/../arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/home/matuschd/buildroot-2020.05-rc1/output/host/bin/g-ir-scanner

However, the binary is at /home/matuschd/buildroot-2020.05-rc1//output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/bin/g-ir-scanner

It seems for some unknown reason, $HOME is inserted into the path which seems to be incorrect
Comment 1 HiFiBerry (Daniel) 2020-05-16 06:24:15 UTC 
Just a correction: Problem is not the GObject introspection package, but GStreamer
Comment 2 Fabrice Fontaine 2020-05-16 09:40:34 UTC 
Hi,

Thanks for the bug report, this is a known issue, all meson packages fail to build with gobject-introspection.

You can find a patch fixing this issue here:
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20200502060435.23004-1-james.hilliard1@gmail.com/. 

However, this patch has not been merged and probably won't be. James waits for the next meson release before sending an updated version of this patch (see https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/buildroot/patch/20200315172459.881615-2-aduskett@gmail.com/)

Best Regards,

Fabrice

Hi,

This is now supposedly fixed with commit b5cd3142963. Care to test again, please?

Thanks for the report.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.

Tested the b5cd3142963 commit - works now. 

Many thanks!
