I am attempting to build Android 2-6.29 for Gumstix Overo. I have so far attempted to follow the procedure written by Elvis Dowson at http://web.mac.com/elvis.dowson/Download/Android/Android.html
In trying to reproduce Elvis' results, I am encountering a circular dependency error in bitbake when trying to build the kernel. To wit: $ bitbake linux-omap3 Parsing .bb files, please wait...done. Parsing of 8112 .bb files complete (7797 cached, 315 parsed). 7907 targets, 316 skipped, 2 masked, 0 errors. NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies ERROR: Unbuildable tasks were found. These are usually caused by circular dependencies and any circular dependency chains found will be printed below. Increase the debug level to see a list of unbuildable tasks. Identifying dependency loops (this may take a short while)... FATAL: Dependency loop #1 found: Task 12 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/ linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_deploy) (dependent Tasks ['fakeroot- native, do_populate_staging', 'linux-omap3, do_package']) Task 19 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/ linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_devicetree_image) (dependent Tasks ['linux-omap3, do_deploy']) Task 15 (/home/swagner/android/tool/overo-oe/user.collection/recipes/ linux/linux-omap3_2.6.29.bb, do_package) (dependent Tasks ['gcc-cross, do_package', 'linux-omap3, do_install', 'update-modules, do_package', 'desktop-file-utils-native, do_populate_staging', 'shasum-native.bb, do_package', 'glibc, do_package', 'file, do_populate_staging', 'linux- omap3, do_devicetree_image', 'coreutils-native, do_package', 'u-boot- mkimage-openmoko-native, do_package', 'module-init-tools-cross, do_package', 'pax-utils-native, do_populate_staging']) While I am familiar with Linux kernel builds using traditional GNU make, I am new to bitbake. My best effort here was to reduce the complexity of the problem by building just the linux-omap3 recipe, instead of the entire omap3-android-2.6.29-image recipe. Does anyone have any insights, suggestions, or comments which would help me to get past this issue?
