Try 'bitbake helloworld-image' (dash, not underscore)

The 0 cached, 0 parsed, 0 skipped, 0 masked from the parse implies that
BBFILES was not set correctly, or at all.

Re: Problem using "bitbake"

[saleh usman]

I've set BBFILES in the local.conf file as   
 BBFILES = "${oe}/openembedded/recipes/images/helloworld-image.bb"
where oe is directory in which openembedded is placed. I've also tried helloworld-image.But it returned same messages.

I am just following the isntructions of Getting Started page and using helloworld-image given in the openembedded/recipes/images directory.


Terminal window was like this

[saleh@localhost build]$ bitbake helloworld-image

NOTE: Parsing finished. 0 cached, 0 parsed, 0 skipped, 0 masked.
NOTE: Cache is clean, not saving.
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'helloworld-image'

Re: Problem using "bitbake"

[Chris Larson]

If that's a copy/pasted line, you're referencing an 'oe' variable, likely
set in your environment?  Is it exported?  Did you add it to the bitbake
environment whitelist?  Run bitbake -e | grep \^BBFILES, and see what it
*really* ends up set to.

Re: Problem using "bitbake"

[saleh usman]

Oh sorry,I've missed to set oe.Thanks a lot for guidance.
Now it is showing a different kind of error in terminal window as below.Where to find these missing dependencies?

[saleh@localhost build]$ bitbake helloworld-image
NOTE: Handling BitBake files: | (0001/0001) [100 %]

I am building this image for an embedded platform which has an ARM 9 processor and linux has been ported and running on it.But our board doesn't support gcc.What else I need to run this om my board.

Still wrong BBFILES... Please, read Getting Started carefully. The
pattern for BBFILES is clearly written there:

  BBFILES = "/stuff/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb"

You need "stars" to let bitbake load all (a few thousand) .bb files and
resolve dependencies.

Re: Problem using "bitbake"

[saleh usman]

If I'll use "stars" where to specify image for which bitbake will build.

As usually, as the argument to bitbake command.

The stars in BBFILES are replacement for path parts. Just use the
correct prefix instead of "/stuff/openembedded/" and run 'bitbake
helloworld-image'.

Without you sending *exact* steps you make and settings you apply, it's
hardly possible to guess where the errors comes from.
