Libiio python bindings use ctypes and specifically the find_library() function from there to load the libiio.so shared library. This is not working unless glibc utils (specifically ldconfig) is installed to the target (alternatively the target would need gcc or binutils, for objdump or ld). The easy fix here is to just bypass the find_library() machinery altogether as it's not needed on a buildroot system.

Subject: [PATCH] bindings: python: fix library loading
|
|
|
|
On Linux the find_library() function requires ld, gcc, objdump
|
|
or ldconfig on the target, which might not be present on a
|
|
buildroot system. [1]
|
|
We do not actually need this function at all, as we know the iio library
|
|
will be referencable in the system under the name "libiio.so".
|
|
So instead of kicking of this complicated cross-platform/cross-distro
|
|
compatible machinery, we just pass in the name of the library we already
|
|
know.
|
|

|
|
|
|
Upstream: N/A, buildroot doesn't have to care about different OS's and
|
|
distro setups, so we can just hardcode the lib name, but we cannot
|
|
submit that upstream.
