[meta-mingw] build error

[meta-mingw] build error

[Stefan Seefeld]

Hello,

I started experimenting with the meta-mingw layer today, using the
'daisy' branch for both, poky as well as meta-mingw.

Running `bitbake meta-toolchain`, the build process failed in one of the
last steps (1003 of 1005) with:

ERROR: nativesdk-packagegroup-sdk-host not found in the base feeds
(x86_64-nativesdk-mingw32 noarch any all).

Any idea what I may be missing ? I'm using

MACHINE ??= "qemux86"
SDKMACHINE ?= "x86_64-mingw32"

Thanks,

		Stefan

Which pacxkage backend were you using? If you didn't use ipk, I'd
suggest trying it. In theory others should work but its ipk I've been
using when working with those layers.

Cheers,

Richard

OK, I was using rpm (the default), but now switched to ipk. That results
in a different error in meta/lib/oe/sdk.py:55, where do_populate() tries
to link ld.so.cache into a non-existent directory.
I have attempted a fix with the attached patch.

With that, things now appear to be working. (I think things should also
work with 'rpm' as package backend, though, right ? Should I file a bug
report somewhere to put that on record ?)

Thanks,
		Stefan

I think this was fixed on master, there is a patch we need to backport
to daisy. I've just done that since I've been aware of that issue.

You can file a bug in the bugzilla for it, yes.
