environment setup script

environment setup script

Hello, I am new to Yocto and relatively new to Linux. I am working my way
through the "Getting Started" guide and I have met a problem. I am trying to
run the "environment-setup ." script for the arm platform. First I notice
that when I list the folder /opt/poky/2.0.1 I see the scripts but they are
not shown as executable. Is this correct? When I try the following command I
am told "Permission denied":

 

/opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi

 

If I use sudo I see "command not found"

 

Any pointers would be very much appreciated,

Sid

The setup script has to be *sourced* into your shell, not run. The
instructions most likely included a leading '.' but you missed it. Either
type '. /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi' or
'source /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi' in
your shell.

Using “source /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi” appeared to work, no errors reported. Should I now expect to see new environment variables when I use “printenv”, because I don’t see any of those mentioned in the getting started guide.

I reduced the command to simply “source ./environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-eabi” and now it worked … many thanks,

Maybe I can help with this one, Sid.

First step is to install "sudo". So, ... with your package manager see if
"sudo" is a listed package. Barring that, try "su -", enter your root
password and do "apt-get sudo". At this point, you will need to use the
command "visudo" to add your user to the sudoers list. Google this for more
complete instructions. Finish by exit from the root bash prompt to exit
from root.

Then you should be able to use "sudo apt-get install <something>".
