Problem for building glibc (ipkg-build: command not found)

Problem for building glibc (ipkg-build: command not found)

[Jeremy Dufour]

Hello,

As I was reading the mails of the mailing-list, I decided to switch to
bitbake-1.8. I also decided to remove all my TMPDIR directory to restart
from scratch.

I am currently using OE unstable with "OZ-unstable" distro for a "tosa"
machine.

When I build a package, I obtained the following error:

I decided to switch back to bitbake-1.6, and it works fine.

So I am wondering where the problem can come from? A problem of dependancy
wrong handled by bitabke, a problem of package glibc/ipkg-utils?

I can provide more information if needed i(local.conf maybe or run the
command in a more verbose way) or open a bug report (in this case, I report
it to bitbake or openembedded ?).

In any case, thanks in advance.

Best regards,

djerem

It looks like a dependency issue, there is no way to tell bitbake that
ipkg-utils-native must have run do_populate_staging before it can run
do_package_write tasks.

The email I just sent to the list has a proposed fix but its not
backwards compatible so will need some discussion.

A short term work around is to "bitbake ipkg-utils-native" before
running your other bitbake command.

Cheers,

Richard

If I understand well, the problem here is that glibc is trying to do a
"do_package_write" before ipkg-utils-native is built?

But I did not understand exactly why we can not "just" said that glibc
depend on ipk-utils-native?

This works fine for me, thanks!

Correct.

In bitbake 1.8 we've enabled multithreading and we've chosen to do this
on a per task basis rather than a per .bb file basis. We therefore need
task level dependencies rather than the higher per file .bb
dependencies.

Richard

Ok, so it is a kind of "thread synchronisation" :)

Thanks for the explanation :)
