Bitbake syntax error

Bitbake syntax error

[Bernard Mentink]

Hi Guys,

I am getting the following error while trying to build the
bootstrap-image, my bitbake is version 1.12.0.

----------- error -----------

Any idea's?

Someone posted this problem on IRC and eventually discovered that it was that 
/usr/bin/python was pointing to python3 (which isn't supported by BitBake). Is 
that what's happening on your system?

I install Bit bake with “python2 setup.py install” and this has worked for me
on my computer where the default python is python3.

Perhaps the opkg-make-index script is picking up the host’s python
program when it should be getting one out of OE’s sysroot directory or
something?
