I needed to do some network performance testing on a Crownbay board and needed iperf in that environment. Since I had the core-image-sato-sdk image created, I just booted that and took the tarball from Sourceforge and built it per the readme file instructions: ./configure make make install After I completed my test, I thought about why not put that in my list of personal recipes. I found the previous version of iperf in the openembedded collection of benchmark recipes and just copied it over. It built and worked fine. There were a lot of items in the .bb that I didn't understand, so I thought for fun I'd just try to build a recipe for iperf 2.0.5 and see what happened. My recipe is simple, mostly taken from the openembedded 2.0.4 version had stripped down:
Hi JF,
I add the same problem you had with the man page stuff, try this patch.

thanks, that patch fixed it from a build point of view. now I'll build the image again and see what happens on the hardware.
