Harfbuzz compile issue on 15.04 - fatal error: asm-generic/posix_types.h: No such file or directory

[olymk2]

The recipe i created does not seem to work on ubuntu 15.04 for harfbuzz, i am raising this incase some one else knows how to fix it or encounters it with other recipes.

It looks like the compile process is trying to use local includes instead of the android includes.

I have setup a 14.04 lts virtual machine and it works perfectly on that setup if any one else wants to try you can paste the commands below to setup everything.

think i will try on a fresh 15.04 iso next, i think something has changed in ubuntu which is causing this issue.

sudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev zlib1g-dev 
sudo pip install cython==0.21.2

mkdir -p /opt/android/
cd /opt/android/
wget dl.google.com/android/android-sdk_r21-linux.tgz
wget http://dl.google.com/android/ndk/android-ndk-r9d-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

tar -xvf android-sdk_r21-linux.tgz
tar -xvf android-ndk-r9d-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

export ANDROIDSDK="/opt/android/android-sdk-linux"
export ANDROIDNDK="/opt/android/android-ndk-r9d"
export ANDROIDNDKVER=r9
export ANDROIDAPI=14

git clone https://github.com/olymk2/python-for-android.git
cd python-for-android
git checkout feature/freetype-recipe

./distribute.sh -f -m "kivy harfbuzz"

output of the build is below.

I can confirm that this happens for me as well on Ubuntu 15.04. Adding --without-icu fixes this, so the difference is probably that 15.04 has ICU available in the system and configure is finding it.

I only tested building the distribution; I did not test actually using harfbuzz, but it compiles.

Also, I don't know that --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu is correct on all systems -- it seems likely to fail on OSX. Before the call to push_arm, you should be able to get the correct value with gcc -dumpmachine. It might also work without specifying --build at all, because configure will try to guess the build machine.

kived thanks a lot for that i would have never figured that out i shall try your suggestions and update the PR.
out of interest how did you know to add --without-icu ? was there something in the log output above ?

[kived]

From ./configure.sh output:

Unicode callbacks (you want at least one):
Glib: false
ICU: true
UCDN: true

Obviously we wouldn't want Glib there. I don't know what UCDN is, but I do know that ICU is a C library, and that library isn't being built by a recipe, so it was just a guess that worked out. :)
