Dear mailing list In my company we are seriously considering going with Yocto project and meta-ros But I got stuck in my effort to make the ROS build . And I'm sure some of you can spot my problem with a glance.
My yocto / meta-ros experience is not strong enough, so I hope to get some pointers I Started my venture by following the yocto getting started guide, I had to add a layer to pull in a custom defconfig for kernel compilation - i called it meta-fpe, it only contains a linux-yocto_4.1.bbappend file and succeeded in building an core-image-minimal , that can boot on my target: *genericx86* Then - according to the http://wiki.ros.org/Installation/OpenEmbedded, I added the ros layers - so my BBLAYERS now looks like this BBLAYERS ?= " \ /home/lars/poky/meta \ /home/lars/poky/meta-yocto \ /home/lars/poky/meta-yocto-bsp \ /home/lars/poky/meta-ros \ /home/lars/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \ /home/lars/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-python \ /home/lars/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia \ /home/lars/poky/meta-fpe \ " My meta-fpe layer only 'bbappends' the defconfig file to tweak the kernel to my target - I intend to continue expanding this layer with my own recipes. I plan to build a 'robovator-image.bb' recipe that pulls from the packagegroup-ros-comm just like packagegroup-ros-world does, when I bitbake core-image-ros-roscore it works like a dream I get a nice little image - I can boot with basic ROS stuf. Then I added an image recipe to the meta-fpe layer that use same approach as core-image-ros-world, but I get strange errors (se below) snip from meta-fpe/recipes-core/images/robovator-image.bb inherit core-image IMAGE_FSTYPES = "tar.bz2 cpio" IMAGE_INSTALL += " \ packagegroup-robovator-basic \ " snip from meta-fpe/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-robovator-basic. bb inherit packagegroup PACKAGES = "${PN}" RDEPENDS_${PN} = "\ packagegroup-ros-comm \ " to isolate it I try to bitbake *core-image-ros-world, but I * get the same errors that I can't decipher and the mentioned log files doesn't help me much *ERROR: QA Issue: python-imaging: The compile log indicates that host include and/or library paths were used.* * Please check the log '/home/lars/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-32-poky-linux/python-imaging/1.1.7-r5/temp/log.do_compile' for more information. [compile-host-path]* *ERROR: QA run found fatal errors. Please consider fixing them.* *ERROR: Function failed: do_package_qa* *ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/lars/poky/build/tmp/work/core2-32-poky-linux/python-imaging/1.1.7-r5/temp/log.do_package_qa.25846* *ERROR: Task 5690 (/home/lars/poky/meta/recipes-devtools/python/python-imaging_1.1.7.bb, do_package_qa) failed with exit code '1'* It's obviously not a meta-ros error, but then again the latest pull request #373 mentions exactly a python update. I suspect I have some conflicts in my BBLAYER - but I don't know ?? any help is appreciated kind regards -Lars Larsen ------------ F.P Engineering, Denmark l...@visionweeding.com
