Re: [yocto] The sysroot location in eclipse plugin?
Ni Qingliang wrote on 2012-02-17: thanks! another question: why I must specify the sysroot location in eclipse plugin? the environment-setup has it already. In case you need another target sysroot which is different from the sysroot defined in the environment files.

[yocto] Perl build failure
Hi, I'm attempting to build the head of the master branch, targeting core-image-minimal on qemux86 with an up to date Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit system. I am getting the following error from perl: /home/welchma/Documents/linux/yocto/yocto_head/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/perl-5.14.2-r2/perl-5.14.2/Cross/generate_config_sh config.sh-x86-linux /home/welchma/Documents/linux/yocto/yocto_head/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/perl-5.14.2-r2/perl-5.14.2/Cross/../config.sh Unable to open config.sh-x86-linux at /home/welchma/Documents/linux/yocto/yocto_head/build/tmp/work/i586-poky-linux/perl-5.14.2-r2/perl-5.14.2/Cross/generate_config_sh line 47. make: *** [perl] Error 2 looking in the Cross folder there is no config.sh-x86-linux, there is however a config.sh-i586-linux. Looking into the Makefile that seems to be run I see: $(TOPDIR)/generate_config_sh config.sh-$(SYS) $(TOPDIR)/../config.sh where: export SYS=$(ARCH)-$(OS) The run.do_compile script has: export ARCH=x86 Which I guess explains why it's getting that value. Looking at the perl recipe, the do_configure stage creates a config file and I can see that this exists in build dir and that contains what I believe are the required values: ARCH = i586 OS = linux However this doesn't seem to be explicitly referenced by do_compile and doesn't seem to be referenced by generate_config_sh. Any ideas?

[yocto] unable to add a new file to base-files recipe via bbappend
Hello all, I added a base-files_3.0.14.bbappend file in my custom layer and pointed the SRC_URI as follows SRC_URI += file://xorg.conf The xorg.conf file is at base-files/files/xorg.conf on my custom layer. But, the bitbake fails to find the file. | ERROR: Function 'Fetcher failure for URL: 'file://xorg.conf'. Unable to fetch URL file://xorg.conf from any source.' failed I guess, the method that I am following here to add a new source file via the bbappend is wrong. Please guide me.

You need to set something like
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := ${THISDIR}/${PN}:
for fetcher to look in ${PN} subdirectory of directory where
you have .bbappend
And you're bbappending wrong recipe, xorg.conf belongs to
meta/recipes-graphics/xorg-xserver/xserver-xf86-config/
Cheers,
Please guide me.

Thanks for the info.

Oops. Will bbappend to the above mentioned recipe.

As with anything git based ... there's more than one way to do it, and everyone has their favourite way. Me, I'd just revert it and push it. Or hard reset it in the working repo and push -f to the bare one. But generally speaking, you've got the right way. Same as you'd have to pull it off a SRC_URI or remove a bbappend if it was tacked on the end via that method.

[yocto] Screencast Video: Getting Started with the Yocto Project
Hi everyone, I am excited to announce a video training resource for new users of the Yocto Project. It is the Getting Started with the Yocto Project screencast: On Vimeo: http://vimeo.com/36450321 On YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNLYanJAQ3s Direct download, Windows Media (300 MB) and Ogg (500 MB) formats: http://www.yoctoproject.org/bulk/Getting_Started_with_the_Yocto_Project.wmv http://www.yoctoproject.org/bulk/Getting_Started_with_the_Yocto_Project.ogv This half-hour screencast introduces you to the Yocto Project and explains its benefits. It also includes live demos which explain the following: * An overview of the Poky build system * How the Poky sources are organized (types of metadata and where to find it) * How to build your first Linux image and run it under emulation * An introduction to recipes and an explanation of the most common types of metadata, using actual recipe examples * An introduction to layers * Where to obtain Yocto BSPs from * How simple it is to download and enable a Yocto BSP * Where to find further project resources (documentation, mailing list, git repository, bugzilla) By the end of this screencast, a new user will understand fundamental concepts about the build system, and be able to start their exploration of the Yocto Project with a solid foundation of knowledge. I hope this screencast becomes a useful training resource to help get new users up to speed as quickly as possible with the Yocto Project.
