I searched inside the xconfig tool for host-heimdal but I found nothing. Why does it fail? I mean, I didn't change nothing about its configuration.

UPDATE

  • Buildroot version:2024.08-rc3
  • Download method: git clone
  • Host version: Ubuntu 24.04

Solution

  • The root cause is a bug in heimdal's autoconf macros.

    As a quick workaround, you can probably add ac_cv_sys_large_files=1 ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits=64 to HOST_HEIMDAL_CONF_ENV in heimdal.mk.

    The problem is that heimdal's configure script uses the AC_SYS_LARGEFILE macro, and then uses its internal ac_cv_sys_large_files and ac_cv_sys_file_offset_bits variables. These variables were removed in a recent update of that macro.

    The proper fix is probably to remove that special handling of largefile in upstream heimdal's configure script. But I don't know why that was introduced in the first place...
