Yocto 1.1 Beta Questions


Brian Duffy <brduffy@...>
 

Hi Yocto group. I am new to Yocto. I followed the starters guide and When running bitbake I get some errors. first it complains that pseudo is not available but required, and then it complains that bbpath is not set. What is pseudo? I have sudo installed and setup to work for me, but I don't know what pseudo is. Also, bitbake was not installed on my fresh install of Fedora 15 so I installed it through the package manager. I guess that was not included in the packages from the getting started guide. Where do I set the bbpath? I followed the getting started guide and replaced the appropriate commands with the ones from Davids blog post for the latest release.

thnx

Brian

Google should have helped you with this question:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/projects/pseudo.

I believe the primary purpose is to be able to create files with root
ownership without root access. This is critical for building your
file system.

I have sudo installed and setup to work for me, but I don't know
what pseudo is. Also, bitbake was not installed on my fresh install of
Fedora 15 so I installed it through the package manager.
I doubt you want to do that, but I don't see anything in the
instructions provided to tell you where to get it either.

I guess that was
not included in the packages from the getting started guide. Where do I set
the bbpath?
Did you edit conf/local.conf?

I followed the getting started guide and replaced the
appropriate commands with the ones from Davids blog post for the latest

Hi Brian - both bitbake and pseudo are part of the Yocto toolset. The standard bitbake from the package manager on your host is not the correct one. Make sure you have set your environment properly by sourcing the build-env script, and it should be set correctly.

As Jason says, set BBPATH in your project directory in conf/local.conf

How did you download the tools, tarball or git?  I find it easiest to do this:

Which tar ball or git repo did you grab?

You should not have to install bitbake, as it's included as part of the Poky tarball or git repo.

guess that was not included in the packages from the getting started
guide. Where do I set the bbpath? I followed the getting started guide
Did you source the oe-init-build-env (either . ./oe-init-build-env )?

Was a build directory created with a conf directory? That environment initializer should set the BBATH and other envorinment variables.

I am in and out of the #Yocto IRC, so I will try to connect with you there also.

Sau!

Okay, so it turns out that I had already downloaded what I needed with the instructions from the latest blog post for the beta release. It specifically mentions certain command to replace from the quick start guide. So I went into the "oe-beta" directory and ran . ./oe-init-build-env ~/my-build and that set up my environment variables. When I ran bitbake core-image-minimal I got an error stating that xterm was not installed. That might be something to include in the quick start section of things to install first. Anyway, it seems to be happily building a minimal linux distro for the emulator to run. I'll let you know if it works out.

Yeah, I ran into the same thing, Brian. Installing xterm is missing from the quickstart and the beta instructions. Sorry about that.

Isn't bitbake supposed to be smart enough to discover and use 'screen'

Hi Brian, sorry for the delay.
If you download the poky tarball or use git to grab it and then follow
the instructions on the quick-start, the tools should build automatically.
In a nutshell, try this:
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
cd poky
. ./oe-core-build-env
[that should put you into a build directory]
vi conf/local.conf [set at least MACHINE, instructions in the file]
bitbake core-minimal
I hope this helps! I'm on IRC as Jefro or available by email, let me
know if I can help at all.

Thanks for the input Jeff. I have not downloaded the tools yet. I'll
probably download the tarball since I don't have much experience with git.
I'll set the bbpath in local.conf and uninstall bitbake from the package
manager before I do so. I guess building the tools will take care of bitbake
and pseudo. Any help with how to build the tools would be appreciated, but
no hurry, enjoy the holiday!

Hi Brian - both bitbake and pseudo are part of the Yocto toolset. The
standard bitbake from the package manager on your host is not the correct
one. Make sure you have set your environment properly by sourcing the
build-env script, and it should be set correctly.
As Jason says, set BBPATH in your project directory in conf/local.conf
How did you download the tools, tarball or git? I find it easiest to
do this:
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
Note that responses may be delayed on a US holiday weekend :)

Google should have helped you with this question:
http://www.yoctoproject.org/projects/pseudo.

I believe the primary purpose is to be able to create files with root
ownership without root access. This is critical for building your
file system.

I have sudo installed and setup to work for me, but I don't know
what pseudo is. Also, bitbake was not installed on my fresh install
of
Fedora 15 so I installed it through the package manager.
I doubt you want to do that, but I don't see anything in the
instructions provided to tell you where to get it either.

I guess that was
not included in the packages from the getting started guide. Where
do I set
the bbpath?
Did you edit conf/local.conf?

I followed the getting started guide and replaced the
appropriate commands with the ones from Davids blog post for the
latest
release.

thnx
Brian

It depends on your setting in local.conf

TERMCMD = "${SCREEN_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN = "${SCREEN_TERMCMDRUN}"
Actually for devshell I think it's OE_TERMINAL="screen", Chris L. was
going to do a write up on this I think
Ah, sorry, I missed that bit of context.

Yeah, I ran into the same thing, Brian. Installing xterm is missing from the

Subject: Re: [yocto] Yocto 1.1 Beta Questions

Okay, so it turns out that I had already downloaded what I needed with the
instructions from the latest blog post for the beta release. It specifically
mentions certain command to replace from the quick start guide. So I went
into the "oe-beta" directory and ran . ./oe-init-build-env ~/my-build and
that set up my environment variables. When I ran bitbake core-image-minimal
I got an error stating that xterm was not installed. That might be something
to include in the quick start section of things to install first. Anyway, it
seems to be happily building a minimal linux distro for the emulator to run.
I'll let you know if it works out.
thnx
Brian
