About scripts/oe-find-native-sysroot

Hi RP,

The common STAGING_DIR_NATIVE is gone, so the OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT
defined in scripts/oe-find-native-sysroot doesn't make any sense
currently:

OECORE_NATIVE_SYSROOT=`bitbake -e | grep ^STAGING_DIR_NATIVE | cut -d '"' -f2`

But the following ones depend on it:

meta/classes/populate_sdk_ext.bbclass
meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/nativesdk-qemu-helper_1.0.bb
scripts/oe-run-native
scripts/runqemu-export-rootfs
scripts/runqemu-extract-sdk

What shall we do on oe-find-native-sysroot? Remove it and
make other ones work without it? Or let it depend on build-sysroots,
please ?

Thanks

Robert

If we could make other things survive without it that would be good.
Some might want to use the addto_recipe_sysroot task:

http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=ce79111e735529546e8a20e4315e3566a556a936

In some cases build-sysroots would likely make the most sense.

Cheers,

Richard

Hi,

scripts/runqemu-gen-tapdevs requires native sysroot as a command line
parameter. Which folder might be passed to the script now?

Regards,
Adrian

bitbake qemu-helper-native

and then pass in the native recipe sysroot from the WORKDIR of that
recipe.
