📦 Package Details

Maintainer: @thess @flyn-org

Description:

The gl_api meson option was left at its auto default, so the GL plugin probed for desktop OpenGL. OpenWrt's Mesa is built with -Dglx=disabled and -Dglvnd=disabled on every target, so it ships no linkable desktop-GL library (no libGL.so, no gl.pc) — desktop GL is only reachable through EGL. With nothing in the sysroot to satisfy the probe, meson's cc.find_library('GL') fallback escaped into the build host's /usr/lib and, on a host that has a desktop libGL installed, put that foreign library on the link line:

mold: fatal: /usr/lib/libGL.so: incompatible file type: riscv64 is expected but got x86_64

Pinning -Dgl_api=gles2 and -Dgl_platform=egl matches what Mesa actually provides (libGLESv2 + libEGL). This is correct on every target, including x86_64+amdgpu: the desktop-GL link path was never functional on OpenWrt and only ever "succeeded" by picking up a host library.


🧪 Run Testing Details

  • OpenWrt Version: master
  • OpenWrt Target/Subtarget: riscv64/generic
  • OpenWrt Device: build-tested only

✅ Formalities

  • I have reviewed the CONTRIBUTING.md file for detailed contributing guidelines.

If your PR contains a patch:

This PR does not contain a patch; it only adjusts meson configuration in the package Makefile.

The 'gl_api' meson option was left at its 'auto' default, so the
GL plugin probed for desktop OpenGL. OpenWrt's Mesa is built with
-Dglx=disabled and -Dglvnd=disabled on every target, so it ships
no linkable desktop-GL library (no libGL.so, no gl.pc) - desktop
GL is only reachable through EGL. With nothing to satisfy the
probe in the sysroot, meson's cc.find_library('GL') fallback
escaped into the build host's /usr/lib and, on a host that has a
desktop libGL installed, put that foreign library on the link
line, breaking the cross link with:

  mold: fatal: /usr/lib/libGL.so: incompatible file type:
  riscv64 is expected but got x86_64

Pin -Dgl_api=gles2 and -Dgl_platform=egl to match what Mesa
actually provides (libGLESv2 + libEGL). This is correct on every
target, including x86_64: the desktop-GL link path was never
functional on OpenWrt and only ever "succeeded" by picking up a
host library.
