In sdk while running "x86_64-poky-linux-gp-display-html --help" gives
following error:
$sdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/x86_64-poky-linux->
./x86_64-poky-linux-gp-display-html --help
Can't locate bigint.pm in @INC (you may need to install the bigint module

By adding the following perl modules to RDEPENDS fixes the above errors:
  nativesdk-perl-module-bignum
  nativesdk-perl-module-bigint
  nativesdk-perl-module-math-bigint

This is probably the right direction but shouldn't this be for the
gprofng package rather than ${PN}?

Hi Richard,
 
In the SDK at $sdk/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/x86_64-poky-linux, the script "x86_64-poky-linux-gp-display-html" is not pulled or packaged by the gprofng package. 
Instead, it is installed as part of the binutils-cross-canadian package.

Adding the perl module dependencies to gprofng package will not resolve this issue , it would be effective only if "nativesdk-gprofng" is explicitly installed by the user.

Thanks,
Harish


Cheers,

Richard
