Hi there,

I'm new to Yocto, and I keep finding errors that prevent me from building a minimal image.

I've just installed poky-danny-8.0, sourced oe-init-build-env, and bitbaked core-image-minimal. The first error is that bitbake sanity checks fail to detect the network access, while my network connectivity is perfect, and downloading packages seem to work if I disable this checks. Full log: http://pastebin.com/6jJCC1qp. I couldn't find any log that told me which piece of code was failing, so I jut disabled this check on ../meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf

Upon trying again, building started fine, but it started failing to build the documentation for some packages, i.e. binutils-cross. First off, I want to build a single mission appliance, I don't really want to build any documentation, is there any way I can disable it? Anyway, this is the build log: http://pastebin.com/n9U4GfjG. Looks like there are some texinfo commands my machine (texinfo 5.0) doesn't recognice. According to http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15183, it's a known bug on binuilts-2.22 and it's fixed on binuilts-2.23.

Poking around, looks like "updating" to binutils-2.23 got it kind of working:

mv ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-2.22.inc ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-2.23.1.inc
mv ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-cross-canadian_2.22.bb ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-cross-canadian_2.23.1.bb
mv ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils_2.22.bb ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils_2.23.1.bb
mv ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-crosssdk_2.22.bb ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-crosssdk_2.23.1.bb
mv ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-cross_2.22.bb ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-cross_2.23.1.bb

I also had to update the md5 and sha1 on ./meta/recipes-devtools/binutils/binutils-2.23.1.inc. After that, some patches failed to apply: libtool-2.4-update.patch, binutils-2.19.1-ld-sysroot.patch, binutils-poison.patch, libtool-rpath-fix.patch, clone-shadow.patch... so gave up
What would be the appropiate way to workaround this issue, besides not using Archlinux?

Btw, if the bitbake core-image-minimal fails because there's not enough disk space, and the free disk in the partition is left to 0, after that even the bitbake clean command fails :\


Anyway, thank you guys for what seems to be an excellent BSP factory, I'm really looking forward to start using it at our company :)

Kind regards,
Ismael

Hi Ismael,

Archlinux currently has texinfo5 in it's core repo which breaks a significant amount of packages. I would suggest downgrading to textinfo4.x (can't remember the exact version) and then things should at least start to get going again. I'm afraid however if you insist on using a rolling release distro you are going to hit these problems more often than most, if you want a stable build environment then I would suggest using a sanity tested distro. If you do with to persist with Archlinux I suggest you follow oe-core/yocto master and update regulary.

Cheers,
Jack.
