Support for autoconf,automake and Libtool for OpenSTLinux.

[darla14]

Hello,

I wanted to know is there a support for autoconf , automake and libtool for STM32MPU? Is there any definitive guide to do so to enable it or install it?

Can this be natively installed using sudo apt-get?

I have many utilities working on raspberry PI and wanted to port them to stm32MPU but they require autoconf tools for building .

Please let me know.

Best,

D

Hello @darla14​ 

thank you for your question.

First of all, did you check if the utilities you want to install are available or not in the OpenSTLinux distribution? You can run this command:

root@stm32mp1:~# apt-cache search <pattern>

The output may be not empty depending on utilities.

Then we currently don't provide any gcc/g++ packages to install on the STM32MPU boards through apt-get commands. That means you can not build C/C++ projects on the board itself.

However, you can cross-compile your utilities after installing the Developer Packages. This reference may help you: https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_cross-compile_with_the_Developer_Package#Adding_a_-22hello_world-22_user_space_example

There is an example based on autoconf here in this document: https://wiki.st.com/stm32mpu/wiki/How_to_cross-compile_with_the_Developer_Package#Autotools-based_project

If you think your utilities may bring high value to the community such as the qt-wpe-simple-browser utility you recently used, please feel free to provide us a list so we might include them in our distribution.

Best regards,
