Can't build for qemuppc

Can't build for qemuppc

[Gary Thomas]

This used to work:

$ bitbake core-image-sato
Loading cache: 100% |####################################################################################| ETA:  00:00:00
Loaded 1034 entries from dependency cache.

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.13.3"
TARGET_ARCH       = "powerpc"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "qemuppc"
DISTRO            = "poky"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "1.0+snapshot-20110929"
TUNE_FEATURES     = "m32 fpu-hard ppc603e"
TARGET_FPU        = ""
meta
meta-yocto        = "master:e3c5d7a90ae179af0ac128ea4dfc1a5a6602c2e4"

NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'syslinux'
ERROR: syslinux was skipped: incompatible with host powerpc-poky-linux
ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-sato' has no buildable providers.
Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-sato', 'syslinux']


What am I doing wrong?  How do I build an image to test with qemuppc,
in particular I want to test 'web-webkit'?

Thanks

I just checked here and this starts building fine. Something is pulling
"syslinux" into your build and that makes no sense as its x86 specific.
You need to figure out where that is coming from and I suspect your
local config or customisations.

Cheers,

Richard

That was it, thanks.  I had touched meta/conf/machine/include/qemu.inc
when I was trying to figure out the boot from CDROM stuff (bug #686)
