Building xen-image-minimal with master

Building xen-image-minimal with master

[M. Gregory]

I am new to Yocto/Openembedded. I have successful built the
xen-minimal-image and several variations using the fido branches of
meta-virtualization and the required meta-layers. I have several patches
I would like to submit to enable XSM to function correctly, so I moved
to the master branches of  meta-virtualization and the required
meta-layers. It seems that GCC 5.2 the default compiler for Yocto 2.0,
is incompatible with the current versions of Seabios and Xen.
Additionally, when I attempt to set my GCCVERSION = "4.9%", glibc seems
to still want to use GCC 5.2 and compilation errors occur.

I am using a clean Yocto install with upstream meta-openembedded and
meta-virtualization. I have altered my local.conf to include
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " xen" and MACHINE="genericx86-64". Is
configuration incorrect?

If my configuration is correct is the correct course of action to patch
the offending files or move to a more recent version of Xen and Seabio?
Both have been patched to fix the incompatibilities with GCC 5.2?

Thanks for your time,
Machon

Machon,

I'm actually in the process of submitting patches to bring in the newer
version of Xen. When you update SeaBIOS I would double check that
CONFIG_XEN is on because I believe its not by default anymore. The
DISTRO_FEATURES_append is correct and the MACHINE should be fine. I'm
using meta-intel and actually using intel-corei7-64 for MACHINE.

If you would please CC me whatever patches you send I would appreciate that.
