It depends on a lot of factors. But for actually building yocto images... I find that 1.5 gigs of RAM per CPU seems to be about right on the virtual machines we use to build images. ..Ch:W..

Have you done any wireshark analysis on the traffic? My guess is that the round trip with network latency is bumping your build time by a factor of at least 100x. The state-cache is hammered on contin

Normally the source archive is unpacked first, which contains the license file. Is there something different with the source packaging for your recipe? ..Ch:W..

You have to refactor xslt-config out of the autotools macros and use pkg-config instead. This recipe is an example: meta/recipes-devtools/swig/swig/0001-configure-use-pkg-config-for-pcre-detection.pat

I have run across this a few times, particularly with man pages, when including upstream packages into my images. I have to use a bbappend recipe in my meta layer to remove the lower priority version.

You have to refactor the Icecast bitbake recipe to use pkg-config instead of xslt-config. This patch might give you some ideas: meta/recipes-devtools/swig/swig/0001-configure-use-pkg-config-for-pcre-d

Indeed, that is exactly what I have done: https://github.com/SpiderLabs/ModSecurity/pull/2014 It looks like a few of their automated regression tests are failing, so I probably have more work to do on

What is the recommended packaging approach for an upstream configure script that seems to think that it must have pcre-config (which is disabled by the binconfig-disabled class)? Looking at the source

This question is with respect to the Yocto thud (2.6.x) branch. I have also reviewed section 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 of the Kernel Development document. My kernel configuration (cfg) seems to be overridden by

Thank you, switching to IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND_append seems to have solved the problem. ..Ch:W..

Background: I have an image that works in pyro. I am migrating the image to thud. Some of the add-on code to our image requires the /lib64 directory (in particular the VirtualBox Additions). I have pr
