So after further investigation, I'm fairly sure awk is actually present in the target image. Here are my reasons why I feel that this is the case:
-I looked at the busybox menuconfig GUI that comes up when I run "bitbake -c menuconfig busybox" and it says awk is built-in. -I looked at various def-config files I found by just doing a "grep -rn "CONFIG_AWK"" and found that CONFIG_AWK seems to have been enabled throughout the project (there was the line CONFIG_AWK=y uncommented in the various def-config files I mentioned). -I have an older version of the target image that my coworker (who has since left the company) created. I just need to rebuild this image because I am trying to add some kernel modules to the image. When I run the command "awk" in the console for the T4240 RDB when the older version of the image is loaded, I do see the gawk help info come up. This shows awk is present in the older image. But looking at what Khem Raj mentioned, perhaps bitbake is just not finding the awk because it's actually in /usr/bin when bitbake expects it to be in /bin? Though I am a little confused about the link you sent, Khem Raj. How do exactly do I apply this patch? I'm assuming we have to change the file ver_linux? I did a "find . -name "ver_linux"" and I see multiple results: bash-4.2$ find . -name "ver_linux" ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work/ppc64e6500-fsl-linux/linux-libc-headers/4.1-r0/linux-4.1/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work/ppce6500-fslmllib32-linux/lib32-linux-libc-headers/4.1-r0/linux-4.1/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work/t4240rdb_64b-fsl-linux/kernel-devsrc/1.0-r0/package/usr/src/kernel/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work/t4240rdb_64b-fsl-linux/kernel-devsrc/1.0-r0/image/usr/src/kernel/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work/t4240rdb_64b-fsl-linux/kernel-devsrc/1.0-r0/packages-split/kernel-devsrc/usr/src/kernel/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb-64b/tmp/work-shared/t4240rdb-64b/kernel-source/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb/tmp/work/ppc64e6500-fslmllib64-linux/lib64-linux-libc-headers/4.1-r0/linux-4.1/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb/tmp/work/ppce6500-fsl-linux/linux-libc-headers/4.1-r0/linux-4.1/scripts/ver_linux ./build_t4240rdb/tmp/work-shared/t4240rdb/kernel-source/scripts/ver_linux Now the build I'm working on is build_t4240rdb-64b so the last three results in that search probably don't matter. Though there are still six more results for when I search ver_linux. So I'm not sure which one I need to change. Moreover, all of the ver_linux files I found more or less look like the following: https://gist.github.com/WayneZhenLi/c7475cf382a80bfd2de31e82c40c1677 Which seems to be very different from the ver_linux file mentioned in the patch. This further confuses me on how to apply the patch. Or maybe do you guys think maybe the patch isn't the solution here? Maybe there's some other reason bitbake isn't finding the awk? -Thanks!, Wayne Li On Wed, Nov 13, 2019 at 10:57 AM Khem Raj <raj.k...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, 2019-11-13 at 10:33 +0200, Adrian Bunk wrote: > > On Tue, Nov 12, 2019 at 04:08:48PM -0600, Wayne Li wrote: > > > Dear Yocto Developers, > > > > > > I'm trying to to build a Yocto kernel for a T4240 RDB.
