[TF-M] Re: CMake 3.25.0 build issue

Hi Sebastian,

After discussing with JK from psa arch test team, we found the issue may be related to the Ninja build system. If you try to build tfm with cmake -G " Unix Makefiles" in cmake 3.25, it could build successfully. Ninja is a small build system that is focused on speed. I guess maybe it does some optimization to run builds parallel to speed up the build and that cause this issue.

Best Regards, Summer

Hi Sebastian,

Thanks a lot for reporting this.

I also reproduced it on AN521. `target_database.h` is generated and installed by PSA Arch test build. It is transparent to TF-M build.

The generation step is skipped with CMake 2.25 while it is generated successfully with CMake 2.21:

`

[218/494] Performing install step for 'psa_generate_database'

[1/5] [PSA] : Creating generator source /home/davhu01/project/tf-m/gerrit-tf-m/profile_test/build/tf-m-tests/app/psa_api_tests/targetConfigGen.c

[2/5] Building C object CMakeFiles/TargetConfigGen.dir/home/davhu01/project/tf-m/gerrit-tf-m/profile_test/build/tf-m-tests/app/psa_api_tests/targetConfigGen.c.o

[3/5] Linking C executable TargetConfigGen

[4/5] [PSA] : Creating output header target_database.h

[4/5] Install the project...

`

Since install() shall happen after all builds complete, I guess some dependencies are broken with CMake 2.25.

Can you please raise this issue to https://github.com/ARM-software/psa-arch-tests/issues? PSA Arch tests developers should know the root cause better.

Best regards,

Hu Ziji

Hi,

when I updated from CMake 3.24.0 to the new (two weeks old) CMake 3.25.0 I am no longer

able to build TF-M with -DTEST_PSA_API=CRYPTO.

(Downgrading CMake fixes the issue)

Is there an interoperability issue with the latest CMake release and the TF-M build system?

Reproduced with

TF-Mv1.7.0-RC1

TF-Mv1.6.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. install CMake 3.25.0.

1. cd trusted-firmware-m

1. rm -rf cmake_build && cmake -G Ninja -S . -B cmake_build -DTEST_PSA_API=CRYPTO -DTFM_PLATFORM=nordic_nrf/nrf5340dk_nrf5340_cpuapp -DTFM_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=toolchain_GNUARM.cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug && ninja -C cmake_build

Only reproduces with TEST_PSA_API and CMake 3.25.0. Builds fine with 3.24.0 or non-PSA API builds.

error:
