Failing to compile Yocto (acl package)

Failing to compile Yocto (acl package)

[Pedro Sanchez]

Hello,

I'm trying to compile Yocto from sources as described in the quick start 
documentation but the build fails as follows:

$ wget http://www.yoctoproject.org/downloads/poky/poky-laverne-4.0.tar.bz2
$ tar xjf poky-laverne-4.0.tar.bz2
$ (edited conf/local.conf to select qemuarm)
$ source poky-laverne-4.0/poky-init-build-env poky-4.0-build
$ bitbake poky-image-minimal


... (30 minutes of work)

I tried compiling the Laverne branch on a cloned Poky git repo. It also 
fails when processing the acl package. Any workarounds? Is there any log 
file I can look at for more details?

Thanks,

You can find log files in the build directory with a relative
path like .../tmp/work/*/acl*/temp

In particular, look at the log.do_unpack file for clues

Thanks,

This is what I see:

The mirror where bb is configured to get acl from, mirror.cinquix.com, 
is down. I'll try to get it from the Savannah site.

Thanks again,

yes, it's very likely that the file you downloaded from the mirror is broken. You can
either change the SRC_URI in the acl*.bb to the real Savannah link, or download it
manually and then copy to the place where DL_DIR in your build/conf/local.conf
points to. It doesn't make sense not using Savannah directly. A fix will be sent out
soon.

I've sent out the SRC_URI fixes to use correct Savannah site.

BTW, if the mirror site is down, you should still get a correct tar ball from 
pre-configured poky mirrors (pokylinux.org, ...). Please let's know if those
mirrors don't take effect to you.

First of all thank for the quick fix! My laptop is busy building Yocto 
now as I write.

As for the poky mirrors, they clearly didn't work for me. The bitbake 
command just stopped working when it failed to process the acl package. 
As far as I can say no attempts were made to reach any poky mirrors at 
all. Is there something we have to do to enable them before compiling 
the project?

the mirror is only reached if there's no response from original SRC_URI link.
In your case, the original link does work... which however provides a broken
tar ball. From poky p.o.v, the do_fetch task succeeds and thus no attempt
is made from those mirrors.

If you manually remove acl* from your DL_DIR, you should be able to 
observe the mirror effect since now the site is down and no response. 
Remember to remove previous download, or else poky will always first
grab from local DL_DIR instead of pulling from external. :-)

Thanks
