RPROVIDES issue

Hello all,

I am getting an error when I try to include some packages such as 
logrotate, valgrind and minicom in my configuration using "IMAGE_INSTALL 
+= ... "

    ERROR: Nothing RPROVIDES '"minicom"' (but
    [path]/core-image-[blah].bb RDEPENDS on or otherwise requires it)
    NOTE: Runtime target '"minicom"' is unbuildable, removing...
    Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['"minicom"']
    ERROR: Required build target 'core-image-small' has no buildable
    providers.
    Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['core-image-[blah]',
    '"minicom"']


I am able to build the packages individually without issue, for example 
"bitbake minicom" works fine.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction?

Thanks
John

I noticed something here which I saw earlier - there is somehow an extra set 
of quotes in there i.e. it's reporting '"minicom"' instead of 'minicom'. 
Having just confirmed here with the 1.1 release that when you specify something 
that doesn't exist you only get one set of single quotes in the error, I 
suspect that's the root of the problem in your case. How you would have got a 
set of double quotes in there I don't know, though. When I do IMAGE_INSTALL += 
"something" I don't get them here.

Cheers,
Paul

Hi Paul

You got me on the right track to fix it - apparently having a comment on 
the same line as the IMAGE_INSTALL += "..." causes it to break. I had 
all of the packates on seperate lines so I could easily comment in or 
out the ones I need and I had comments after a few of them so i could 
keep track of which ones were working and broken...

Thanks for your help!
John

Ah, that explains it :) You may be happy to know this is now explicitly caught 
as a syntax error in master, so future versions will not suffer from this 
issue.

Paul
