Problem at the very beginning

Problem at the very beginning

[Grzegorz Toporek]

Hi all,

I'm new to the mailing list so I would like to say hello to everyone. I'm
new to OE/bitbake as well so please be patient...

I was trying to build busybox package but unfortunately I got this error. Is
it a type conversion problem?  I got this with "Simple Helloworld" either...

What should be mentioned, there was no a problem to build this for
angstrom-2008.1 distribution (machine om-gta01). Now I have changed it to
colibri, which is my boar, and the problem occurred.

I have attached all my .conf files to this e-mail.

Please help me with this problem. Looking forward to your reply.

Do you *really* need your own distro?

Hi, thank you for your answer.

I don't know if I need this. My project is a continuation of a former one,
and the guys before have been using disto configuration files.

So, do you suggest that I don't need those files to build system on Colibri
PXA270 (ARM)?

Maybe there is a good way to update an old system? I have backup images
(img.gz) of it...

Best Regards,
Grzegorz

the python code in
/home/grzesiek/tele/openembedded/recipes/tasks/task-shr-minimal.bb 

depends upon a metadata variable called LIBC and this is not set in your
distro file. This could be one of 'glibc|eglibc|uclibc" depending upon
what system library you want. In your case it seems to be glibc

So if you set 

LIBC = "glibc" in your distro file then it should work.

Many thanks! It works like a charm!

I have one question. How can I update an old system on my board? Should I
delete it or just build new packages and upload them to my board?

Ones again many thanks.

Best Regads,
Grzegorz
