meson 1.6.1 cross compiling: Could not invoke sanity test executable

[trantien1997]

I am cross-compiling glib packages with meson. After upgrading to meson 1.6.1 I see the following error:

-----
Sanity check compile stderr:

-----
Running test binary command:  /home/sw/build/objs/armv7_common/glib/meson-private/sanitycheckc.exe

../../../../../glib/meson.build:1:0: ERROR: Could not invoke sanity test executable: [Errno 8] Exec format error: '/home/sw/build/objs/armv7_common/glib/meson-private/sanitycheckc.exe'.

This is my libcxx.ini:

c = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc'
cpp = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-g++'
ar = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ar'
strip = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-strip'
pkg-config = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-pkg-config'  # Thay thế pkgconfig
ld = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabi-ld'
cmake = '/usr/bin/cmake'
ninja = '/usr/bin/ninja'

[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'x86_64'
cpu = 'x86_64'
endian = 'little'

[built-in options]
# Compiler flags
c_args = [
    '-march=armv7-a', '-mabi=aapcs-linux', '-msoft-float',
    '-O2', '-fPIC', '-fPIE', '-fno-omit-frame-pointer',
    '-mapcs-frame', '-mno-sched-prolog', '-D__GLIBC__', '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64']
cpp_args = [
    '-stdlib=libc++', '-march=armv7-a', '-mabi=aapcs-linux',
    '-msoft-float', '-O2', '-fPIC', '-fPIE', '-fno-omit-frame-pointer',
    '-mapcs-frame', '-mno-sched-prolog', '-D__GLIBC__', '-D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64']

c_link_args = [
    '-march=armv7-a', '-mabi=aapcs-linux', '-msoft-float',
    '-fPIC', '-fPIE', '-pie']
cpp_link_args = [
    '-stdlib=libc++', '-march=armv7-a', '-mabi=aapcs-linux',
    '-msoft-float', '-fPIC', '-fPIE', '-pie']

# Tùy chọn skip sanity check
; skip_sanity_check = true

And I changed

[host_machine]
system = 'linux'
cpu_family = 'arm'
cpu = 'armv7-a'
endian = 'little'

I get error when I run meson compile -C. The errors are presented in meson-log.txt

meson-log.txt

Could you please help me check and fix libcxx.ini

Passing things like -D__GLIBC__ is a bit suspicious/odd.

Anyway, for your actual issue, can you show the full log from meson setup? It looks like you don't have an exe-wrapper setup, but you need one for glib/gobject-introspection?

What version of Meson worked before? Does it work if you downgrade to it now?

Hi @thesamesam
I don't know why meson gen condition to check the size of char:

I think the condition is true will be that sizeof(char) >= 1
Currently I need to upgrade glib from 2.50 to 2.83 (old version use autoconfig but new version switch to meson tool)

[thesamesam]

I wouldn't overthink the char thing -- if anything, it's a useful proxy for whether we can compile anything at all. Can you answer my questions from earlier?

[eli-schwartz]

The meson-log.txt that you uploaded doesn't appear to be the one that was for your cross build with the error. There's nothing to analyze there...
