ERROR: sizeof(size_t) doesn't match GLIB_SIZEOF_SIZE_T.
       You probably need to set PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR

Please try this patch: http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/616440/

[Peter Maydell (pmaydell)]

The problem could also be that your build environment is broken in the way the warning is trying to diagnose (for instance that you have the 32-bit PPC glib development packages installed and not the 64-bit ones.)

thanks for the infos
Stefan i will check tomorrow and report.
Peter, yes this is an issue of the powerpc64 of ubuntu/debian the ppc64 libraries are half ported usually i fix changing in the makefile -m32 where -m64 is call i will try to force the flags on configure of qemu too. i will report if success or not.

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Peter just try forcing the cpp flagas with -m32 without success.
On this rc configure dont start build ..
CPPFLAGS="-m32" CFLAGS="-g -O2 -mcpu=e5500 -mno-altivec -mtune=e5500" CXXFLAGS="-m32 -g -O2 -mcpu=e5500 -mno-altivec -mtune=e5500" ./configure --disable-werror

will check Stefan parch if something change and reports.

Thanks

If you can still see the bug after applying Stefan's patch, please attach the config.log file generated by configure

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Ok Daniel, will check and report.
note usually on PPC we use ad default compiler GCC (5.3.1 now).
I been installed clang 3.8 and will check report if all will right.

Thanks

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Hi guys, did the patch but same error appear.
i attached the config.log.

[Daniel Berrange (berrange)]

Ok so the log message associated with the failure is this:

Which rather suggests your glib header files are broken.

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Hi Daniel i dont know
from this last i have this issue other versions was building right .
im affraid i deleted the rc3 i just make a test with 2.5.1 and you can see configure work, like was working in past.

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

rc5 same issue

./configure

ERROR: sizeof(size_t) doesn't match GLIB_SIZEOF_SIZE_T.

thanks

[Peter Maydell (pmaydell)]

I think Daniel is right -- your glib headers are broken, and we just weren't diagnosing it before. You need to fix your glib install.

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Hi Perter,
probalby ... i found something wrongs inside my ppc64 library , im clearing and reinstall the glib . report it soon

[luigiburdo (intermediadc)]

Yes Fixed guys.
configure reply right . can close this bug , that was not a qemu bug.
