Build Host packags for Yocto project.

Build Host packags for Yocto project.

Hi!
I am very new to Yocto project.
I am trying to get installed all necessary Build Host packages following the guide lines in "Yocto Project Quick Start Guide".
But gcc-multilib and libsdl1.2-dev are not installed as below.
Can anyone advise how to get those two packages installed? I am using Ubuntu linux on VM BOX.

[cid:image003.jpg@01D201ED.54A0FFC0]


Can anyone advise on the following questions:

(1)    In order to build image for Freescale i.MX6 processor, how much minimum size of RAM is required?

(2)    Should I use dedicated Linux Host machine? Or , using VM Box is OK?

(3)    Which machine is better? 64-bit or 32-bit?

Hi TinTIn,


I can not help you with the problem actual problem, but I can give you advice on how to proceed.


Your problem is not with yocto but with the debian package manager. Either you have a "crashed" install or you have added repositories that have errors in them.


I would google apt package dependencies and the error messages you are experiencing and possibly seek help on debian forums.


If you have installed/uninstalled a lot of packages, it might be a good idea to start a new virtual box image and just install the packages that yocto needs.


Hope this will get you started.

/BR Jan

For this error, different YP version supports different host, you can:

$ find poky/ -name 'poky.conf'

And then check SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS, if you use one of them, it should be
pretty easy to setup the build.

We don't have exactly data on this, this depends on parallel builds, at
minimum, I think that 2GB would be OK, but it would be very slow.

VM Box is OK, but you need set more processors and memory, the more the faster.

64bit.

Hi! Jan,

Thanks for your sharing.
Yes, I have already re-started a new VM box several times. But problem still insists.
At first time I installed VM box and Host packages, it worked well.
This problem started since I have deleted former VM box, create new VM box and reinstall packages.
Any clue?

Thanks and Best regards,

Tin Tin

I googled gcc-multilib, neither weezy (old-stable), jessie (stable) or sid (unstable) had the version number that you are trying to install.


Instead of using apt-get on the command line, try to use a GUI-based package manager like synaptic. There you will see which packages/package-versions are available to install.


E.g. my available multilib versions where 4.9.2-10 and 4.8.4-1


If you have installed the versions shown in your terminal before successfully, perhaps you forgot to set up your source list to point to repositories that contains relevant software in your new VM.
