Yocto is for building custom Linux distributions. It builds on OpenEmbedded.

I'll give it at try.

[CentOS] Newer versoin of tar 1.26 on Centos 7

2020-09-16 Thread Klaus Kolle
Is it possible to find a repository that hold a newer version of tar.
The current version is 1.26

I have some students trying to build Yocto project on my Centos 7 host,
but OpenEmbedded reports incompatibility problems with the current
version of tar.

I thank you on beforehand for any help.

[CentOS] VirtualBox extensions and the new kernel

2019-10-01 Thread Klaus Kolle
I've been running Centos for different purposes in a VirtualBox
environment for quite long now. But the newest kernels miss something so
I can get the VirtualBox Extensions linked in.

I can see in the virtualbox log file that I shall run maken oldconfig
and make, but I get these errors:

# make oldconfig && make prepare
scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
#
# configuration written to .config
#
scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl',
needed by `arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'.
 Stop.
make: *** [archheaders] Error 2

Probably it is something that I misses, but what, I cannot figure out.

I see the problem both in Centos 7.7 and 8

Re: [CentOS] CentOS 7.6 1810 vs. VirtualBox : bug with keyboard layout selection

It makes sense to use Centos on top of VirtualBox.

In fact I deliver a "Software-in-a-box" package consisting of a Centos
installation on top of VirtualBox for my 1. semester students in
software development.

The package includes all the necessary software for the courses 2 years
ahead.

This removes most of my support problems keeping the Eclipse C/C++
environment stable on Windows and Mac, which I do not know very much and
therefore does not offer support on.

[CentOS] Problems compiling kernel module

2018-12-05 Thread Klaus Kolle
Hi

I just upgraded a virtual Centos from 7.5 to 7.6 and now the VirtualBox
Extensions won't compile with the kernel.

I looked into the log file and found that I should try to execute:

make oldconfig && make prepare

but I get this result:
 scripts/kconfig/conf --oldconfig Kconfig
 #
 # configuration written to .config
 #
 scripts/kconfig/conf --silentoldconfig Kconfig
 make[1]: *** No rule to make target `arch/x86/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl',
 needed by
`arch/x86/syscalls/../include/generated/uapi/asm/unistd_32.h'.   Stop.
 make: *** [archheaders] Error 2


What could be wrong?
