Hi AllAny and all help is appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
I want to install 6 software packages needed for FPGA Development.These are icestorm, arachne-pnr, yosys, nextpnr, verilator, and zipcpu.I have created 4 of the recipes (icestorm_0.1.bb, arachne-pnr_0.1.bb, yosys_0.1.bb, and nextpnr_0.1.bb)using the recipetool & bitbake-layers, and I added these to a meta-yosys-tools layer.
https://github.com/develone/meta-yosys-tools.git
I can now execute "bitbake icestorm" which is a python and C++ Makefile project.The first time the recipe goes thru the python build and gets an error existing the shell.If I rerun "bitbake icestorm" I get 
| iceprog.c:27:10: fatal error: ftdi.h: No such file or directory|    27 | #include <ftdi.h>|       |          ^~~~~~~~Which is the 2nd C++ program in the Makfile.On the rpi4-64 all that is needed are the following steps to build icestorm git clone https://github.com/cliffordwolf/icestorm.git cd icestorm  make real 33m4.774s user 32m39.073s sys 0m19.247s I first tried using the cross compiler with little sucess.  This is why I trying to generate the recipes to build using bitbake instead. These are the location of the header files, needed to be added to the cross compiler sdkwhich I installed for rpi4 using the following commands. "bitbake meta-toolchain" "bitbake core-image-sato -c populate_sdk_ext" "./poky-glibc-x86_64-meta-toolchain-aarch64-raspberrypi4-64-toolchain-3.0.1.sh"

When I executed "bitbake nextpnr", I noticed the boost was built first.  Since then I have added boost to rpi4-core-image-sato which added quite a bit to the image2420113408 without boost and 2839543808 with boost.

Hi All
This is the error that I see bitbake -DDD arachne-pnr in log.do_compile

Hi Joesf, I did not understand what you meant with "pull".  These are the steps that I did.
Downloaded the file coreutils_8.31.bb from openemedded to ~/wkg/yocto-zeusSaved the original file poky/meta/recipes-core/coreutils/coreutils_8.31.bb ~/wkg/yocto-zeus/repo120319
Made the chgs below to rpi4-64/poky/meta/recipes-core/coreutils/coreutils_8.31.bb
vidal@ws009:~/wkg/yocto-zeus-3.0$ diff coreutils_8.31.bb repo120319/coreutils_8.31.bb 52c52<                 sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sort split sum tac tail tee test timeout \--->                 sha384sum sha512sum shred shuf sort split stdbuf sum tac tail tee test timeout \60,63d59< < PACKAGE_BEFORE_PN_class-target += "coreutils-stdbuf"< FILES_coreutils-stdbuf = "${bindir}/stdbuf ${libdir}/coreutils/libstdbuf.so"< RDEPENDS_coreutils_class-target += "coreutils-stdbuf"
Tested with DEPENDS = " icestorm busybox " and DEPENDS = " icestorm busybox coreutils"
Still getting error "/bin/sh: 1: sum: not found" with bitbake -DDD arachne-pnr
Also tried adding coreutils to inherit line and that failed.
Let me know if I can provide additional information.
Thanks for you help.

Thats only halfways correct: busybox *CAN* provide sum, if configured
accordingly. It obviously is not, in your case. The easiest way to get
sum is probably to just pull in coreutils:

The Makefile executes several lines, which set variables ARACHNE_VER, GIT_REV, and VER_HASH.   These are used in the rule which creates a file src/version_$(VER_HASH).cc.The line below appears to be the one that causes the error.VER_HASH = $(shell echo "$(ARACHNE_VER) $(GIT_REV)" | sum | cut -d ' ' -f -1)
src/version_$(VER_HASH).cc: echo "const char *version_str = \"arachne-pnr $(ARACHNE_VER) (git sha1 $(GIT_REV), $(notdir $(CXX)) `$(CXX) --version | tr ' ()' '\n' | grep '^[0-9]' | head -n1` $(filter -f% -m% -O% -DNDEBUG,$(CXXFLAGS)))\";" > src/version_$(VER_HASH).cc

These variables are based on git revision.   So I can not hard code them.This is the error that I get.
