How to start with OpenEmbedded for MiPS32 Au1300

How to start with OpenEmbedded for MiPS32 Au1300

[soumyasr]

Hi All,
    I am new to open embedded build.. 
I followed the steps which is given in
http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Getting_started

$ mkdir -p /home/soumya/project/oe/build/conf
$ cd /home/soumya/project/oe/ 

Getting the working bitbake
wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz

To obtain openembedded 
install git
$ git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git
 
updating OpenEmbedded using git pull

Create local configuration file
$ cd /home/soumya/project/oe/
$ cp openembedded/conf/local.conf.sample build/conf/local.conf
$ vi build/conf/local.conf

i edited in local.conf 
BBFILES = "/home/soumya/project/oe/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb"
DISTRO = "avn01"
MACHINE = "au1300"

I created new distribution and machine as shown below

/*****************au1300.conf*************************/
# Alchemy au1300

TARGET_ARCH = "mipsel"

PREFERRED_PROVIDERS += "
virtual/${TARGET_PREFIX}depmod:module-init-tools-cross"

PREFERRED_PROVIDER_virtual/kernel = "linux"
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "vmlinux.srec"

SERIAL_CONSOLE="/dev/ttyS0 115200 vt100"

FLASH_OFFSET="0xBC000000"
# The NAND has an eraseblock of 0x4000 (16kB) and NOR with 0x20000 (128kB)
ERASEBLOCK_SIZE = "0x20000"
EXTRA_IMAGECMD_jffs2 = "--little-endian --no-cleanmarkers
--eraseblock=${ERASEBLOCK_SIZE}"

MACHINE_FEATURES = "kernel26 pcmcia usbhost"

/**************************************END OF

Then i set the environment variable
$ export BBPATH=/home/soumya/project/oe/build:/stuff/openembedded
$ export PATH=/home/soumya/project/oe/bitbake/bin:$PATH

To start building i just typed bitbake in the command prompt
cd /build
$ bitbake
ERROR:  Openembedded's config sanity checker detected a potential
misconfiguration.
	Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker
(see sanity.conf).
	Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

	Please install following missing utilities: help2man,texi2html
Error, TMPDIR has changed ABI (4 to 2) and you need to either rebuild,
revert or adjust it at your own risk.
Error, DISTRO_PR has changed (.5 to ) which means all packages need to
rebuild. Please remove your TMPDIR so this can happen. For autobuilder
setups you can avoid this by using a TMPDIR that include DISTRO_PR in the
path.

    Anybody can help me out to resolve this error..
If I am doing anything wrong in by build please suggest me.
Thanks in advance :-)


Regards,
Soumya
