I picked up the recipes from the Poky/Yocto tree rev 51cbb5ae7 (5.14.2-r12) and put them in one of my local layers. I also set local.conf to have PREFERRED_VERSION_perl = "5.14.2" Now I'm getting these errors: NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies NOTE: preferred version 5.14.2 of perl not available (for item perl-module-strict) NOTE: versions of perl available: 5.14.3 NOTE: preferred version 5.14.2 of perl not available (for item perl-module-vars) NOTE: versions of perl available: 5.14.3 NOTE: preferred version 5.14.2 of perl not available (for item perl-module-config) NOTE: versions of perl available: 5.14.3 NOTE: preferred version 5.14.2 of perl not available (for item perl-module-warnings) NOTE: versions of perl available: 5.14.3 NOTE: Preparing runqueue ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide perl (/home/local/poky-multi/meta-amltd/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.2.bb /home/local/poky-multi/meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.3.bb). This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should. ERROR: Multiple .bb files are due to be built which each provide libmodule-build-perl (/home/local/poky-multi/meta-amltd/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.2.bb /home/local/poky-multi/meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.14.3.bb). This usually means one provides something the other doesn't and should. I don't see how I can be told on one line that 5.14.2 isn't available but on the next that it will also be built :-( The odd thing is that this process worked ONCE. I was able to build using 5.14.2 with no errors. I tried some stuff on my board and then needed to see how 5.14.3 behaved. Now when I want to go back to 5.14.2, I'm stuck with these errors and bitbake insists on using 5.14.3. I'm trying to go back to 5.14.2-r12 because that's the version that's on the BBB, How can I move forward? Thanks Note: my original problem is described in https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2013-July/017297.html but there hasn't been any discussion or replies... -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------
