Neat, I only took a quick look; I guess I misinterpreted their purposes. > > People *are* at least trying to use Windows Subsystem for Linux to > build Yocto on Windows, but I suspect as far as bitbake is concerned > that is Linux.

When I tried, early in the WSL testing, bitbake wouldn't start due to some missing syscalls. inotify related, IIRC. > > Builds on BSD would be interesting, I'm curious as to how much breaks > from GNU userland expectations and whether the build override is > actually useful. The problem I'm running into right now is pseudo. FreeBSD uses a different API for extended attributes, so all the various xattr_... things don't work. I might need to make it depend on a port of the xattr wrappers. Outside of that, I've been using a FreeBSD hosted cross toolchain for embedded Linux for years. It works well on its own. Hopefully the build-* overrides will be helpful for the small differences I've noticed. > > Ross -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
