What difference is BASE_PACKAGE_ARCH or snb making in this case? Cheers, Richard

Likewise, what is special about the "xeon" package arch? Cheers, Richard

We have supported this in the past but it got messy and I'd really prefer people to use sstate for this. You obviously can use the SDK toolchain as a prebuilt external toolchain though since its no di

[Cross posted but please reply on the Yocto list] We're starting to think about the development focus for post Yocto 1.1 and are collecting ideas on the unscheduled feature list on the wiki: https://w

The system supports a cache of prebuilt objects in the form of the sstate data to accelerate build times if nothing changes. It doesn't directly support using prebuilt packages directly though as its

Wiki please... Cheers, Richard

Most things are possible :). The implementation isn't hard, maintaining some kind of translation table for the dependencies, shared library provision lists and so on is a *lot* of work though. It woul

You can add it to the list on the wiki. Which known set of prebuilt packages are you thinking we should be able to build against? Cheers, Richard

When you have an external toolchain you have to consider things like packaging up the libc locales and generating the pkgdata information about shared libraries amongst other things. We therefore went

bitbake -g will dump out a task-depends.dot file which shows which tasks will run and the task interdependencies... Cheers, Richard

If you enable those things they do get pulled into images and some of the dependency chains are pretty heavy. They are no longer default in local.conf though. Cheers, Richard

In glib.inc there is the line: EXTRA_OECONF_virtclass-native = "" and you could try changing that to be: EXTRA_OECONF_virtclass-native = "--disable-dtrace --disable-systemtap" I think master may also

Sorry about that, there are fixes in the appropriate places now. Cheers, Richard

This sounds like the machine specific packages are failing to be found so it sounds like a package feed issue. Is sounds like PACKAGE_ARCHS isn't listing everything it needs to (such as the machine na

Can we not fix the X scripts so that if an fbdev X server is in use and the framebuffer device node does not exist, it just exits cleanly with a suitable message and doesn't timeout on boot? Cheers, R

Yes, I suspect something about your machine config is resulting in this but its hard to me to say what. You can do things like "bitbake -e | grep ^PACKAGE_ARCHS" to see the contents of variables. I'm

What does "ls /home/chris/yocto/ebox3300-build/tmp/deploy/ipk" say? Cheers, Richard

I've just been looking at the open bug related to this (http://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1379) and I can't reproduce an issue with layers ending with -numeric causing a problem :/. In

Merged to master, thanks. Richard
