Like the OP, I am attempting to build OM with MokoMakefile on debian
powerpc (a PowerMac G5).

The output from my attempted build is at http://pastebin.com/m19248e62

I did:

  make clean
  rm -rf build/conf/
  make setup
  make setup-machine-freerunner 
  make openmoko-devel-image

(Download of stuff isn't in this output because I've run this several
times before.)

setup-env contains:

export OMDIR="/home/russells/omdir"
export BBPATH="${OMDIR}/build:${OMDIR}/openembedded"
export PYTHONPATH="${OMDIR}/bitbake/libbitbake"
export PATH="${OMDIR}/bitbake/bin:${PATH}"


build/conf/local.conf contains:

MACHINE = "om-gta02"
DISTRO = "openmoko"
BUILD_ARCH = "ppc64"
INHERIT += "rm_work"


The third NOTE in the output at http://pastebin.com/m19248e62 is

  Information not available for target 'ppc64-linux'

which I think is partly gathered from `uname -m`.  On my system:

  [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -m
  ppc64

Is this different from what uname -m says on Fedora?  I notice that
there is a powerpc* target in some of the .bb files.

I don't know anything about bitbake, and its output seems unconducive
to casual debugging in that there is not a lot of context for the
messages.

Any ideas?

Hi,
I am building OpenEmbedded stuff (OpenMoko for FreeRunner, Angstrom for
BeagleBoard) on my Fedora G4 iBook all day and it works.

Please paste your error message to a pastebin service and provide the
URL here.

Mokomakefile on Debian on PowerPC64/G5

[Christ van Willegen]

Hi,

I guess I'm the first one to try this...

Because there is no (native) support for building OpenMoko software on
an iMac (G5, rev c with iSight), I decided to see if installing Debian
would work.

Following the instructions on [1] I was able to install Debian 'just
fine'. In short, you don't get X and gdm...

Then, I followed the usual instructions about Mokomakefile and its
prerequisites.

Building the OE environment gave me an error - powerpc64 architecture
not supported (or something close to that). If this doesn't ring any
bells, I'll check and get the exact wording later.

Is that something that can be fixed by me, or is it simply impossible
to do this on a powerPC64 architecture? I don't need Qemu, I'll have
my Freerunner soon, but probably no working ways to build software for
it...

Regards,

Christ van Willegen
