Trying to bitbake core-image-minimal on Archlinux

Trying to bitbake core-image-minimal on Archlinux

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.

One dummy question, how to find out the list of all "sanity tested distro", i just saw a long list from the output of "git tag". 


Thanks,

hey Biao,

The sanity information is provided in the directory meta-yocto/conf/distro/
... Here there are several distributions and in their conf file you have
the sanity tested ditro .. :)

Have a look in meta-yocto/conf/distro/poky.conf, specifically
SANITY_TESTED_DISTROS.

Related: if you get the warning but your system is fine, then you can
set that variable to "" in your local.conf.  I do this as I run Debian
Unstable, which for obvious reasons isn't certified.

Archlinux version you might be using may not be one of sanitized distro for building danny
you could have upgrades to components that are pre-requisites for building binutils cross

if you can try to use one of sanitized distros on your build host that way you can avoid some
of these issues.

thats invasive change for danny to back port. May be you can try latest master and upcoming
release 1.4 if you can afford that
