How to deal with ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'perf'

How to deal with ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES 'perf'

[Francis Meyvis]

Hello,

I'm using yocto's bernard and trying to build for an arm board (igep0020).
For this I created meta/conf/machines/igep0020.conf.
And my build/conf/local.conf's MACHINE is set as ipep0020
As a start I used the content of the existing beagleboard.conf for igep0020.conf
I have also this line in my local.conf:
EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES = "dbg-pkgs dev-pkgs tools-sdk tools-debug
tools-profile tools-testapps debug-tweaks"

A bitbake seems to fail each time with these messages below.
If I limit the EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES as follows "dbg-pkgs dev-pkgs
tools-sdk debug-tweaks" building starts
But I'm keen on also having debugging tools available (like strace) on
the target ...

What am I missing? Thanks
Should I also post my problem on the yocto mailing list?

I'm not too familiar with the igep layer, I assume it's not using the
one of the yocto-linux kernel recipes?

perf must be enabled in individual kernel recipes, the yocto kernels do
this through the inherited linux-tools.inc

This list is the right one for build system issues :-)
