and the other is honestly above me at the moment as I do not grasp
using devshell yet and how to work with in there, let alone properly
lay out a program recipe and then patch it to work properly. Once I
grasp things more I hope to be a help and not such a hindrance, I
welcome any tips links or anything to point to how to fix either and I
will try more on more with those pointers and if successful post the
results and maybe a patch or post the failure.
Read the OE manual. Read the Bitbake manual. Read .bb files. Read
.conf files. Read .bbclass files. Read Bitbake sources. Send patches.
Add time. Repeat. == expert!
I'd just like to add in that while it's great (really, I mean it), you're
reporting problems, if you can reproduce them in vanilla OE with something
like MACHINE=qemuarm and DISTRO=angstrom-2008.1 (or DISTRO=minimal) or
similar, that will help rule out a lot of concern on our part and give a
testcase we can all easily try out.
OK thanks Tom I will try and read more on how to do that. Have not
done anything with qemu yet. But what I get now and correct if I am
wrong by OE vanilla you mean fresh directly off the dev branch no
other sub tree correct? then modify my .conf to to the settings you
listed above? If I am way off dont worry about taking the time to
Correct.
explain in detail I will just read about it. I feel I have become an
annoyance on the boards from my lacking knowledge. Would showing the
recipe I build for my gumstix help? Its now building but not with
everything I want and some programs are broken, but its very close the
closest I have gotten so far. Any who thanks for replying and giving
me more info on how to help you guys help me. I do appreciate
everyones help and input a bunch.
We're happy to have a problem report, really. It's just that since yes,
you're working with more than just the vanilla tree we want to be
certain that the problem is in the vanilla tree and not a conflict in
having additional overlays and such available.
