Unable to compile nodejs.

[josancardenasm]

Hi all, i'm trying to compile nodejs_12.14.1.bb recipe for yocto dunfell. I'm getting next error output:

output.txt

Looking the output i see the message /bin/sh: gen-regexp-special-case: command not found. I see by the compilation proccess that the builder is trying to run this binary in the host machine that is compiled for arm so this generates an error.

Thanks

This binary should be provided by nodejs-native can you run a search in the build tree of nodejs for gen-regexp-special-case and see if you see it in recipe-sysroot-native dir ?
if you don't see that means its not being provided by nodejs-native or nodejs-native is not in DEPENDS for nodejs recipe

Hi, sorry the delay response. I have been investigating the problem. You are right. We were using different versions for native version and target version.

Apart of correct the version, i had to do some fixes with a bbappend because i got a error message

ERROR: nodejs-native-12.14.1-r0 do_configure: Execution of '/home/bob/develop/yocto/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/12.14.1-r0/temp/run.do_configure.2158' failed with exit code 1: gyp: /home/bob/develop/yocto/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/12.14.1-r0/node-v12.14.1/deps/openssl/openssl.gyp not found (cwd: /home/bob/develop/yocto/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/12.14.1-r0/node-v12.14.1) while loading dependencies of /home/bob/develop/yocto/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/12.14.1-r0/node-v12.14.1/node.gyp while trying to load /home/bob/develop/yocto/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/nodejs-native/12.14.1-r0/node-v12.14.1/node.gyp Error running GYP
I fixed it adding --shared-openssl to configure command.

And finally it seems that there is some type of problem with parallel build because i get the next error that i solve using PARRALLEL_MAKE = "" in the recipe:

I faced the same issue on two machines (Fedora 36, Ubuntu 22.04) while linking nodejs 12.21.0-r0 version.
There are 16 GiB and 32 GiB of RAM respectively.

With PARALLEL_MAKE = "-j1" I could indeed overcome the OOM problem.
