The comment was about the "Tizen on Yocto" recipes, not Yocto. The recipes have issues that you don't see when building recipes manually written for Yocto. These recipes get converted from .spec files to .bb files based on the build configuration for x86. All architecture specific tweaks in Tizen get lost at that point and have to be added back manually to the generated .bb files. The spec2yocto conversion tool also does not have enough information available in the .spec files about dependencies (is a tool needed or something to link against?) and has to use heuristics, which fail in some cases when doing cross-compilation. -- Best Regards, Patrick Ohly The content of this message is my personal opinion only and although I am an employee of Intel, the statements I make here in no way represent Intel's position on the issue, nor am I authorized to speak on behalf of Intel on this matter. _______________________________________________ IVI mailing list IVI@lists.tizen.org https://lists.tizen.org/listinfo/ivi
