**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Apr 09 02:59:56 2010 Apr 09 04:45:16 Hi. We have a FriendlyARM (and another ARM9) board and I'd like to confirm if OE is the right tool (chain) for both building the kernel and various applications like Nagios, webserver, and some custom applications? Apr 09 05:10:03 brainbox1100: http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/narcissus/ Apr 09 05:10:09 angstrom is based on OE Apr 09 05:10:22 if your processor/board is similar or is one of the ones in the "machine" dropdown Apr 09 05:10:27 then OE might be for you Apr 09 05:13:32 aditya_111: I'll check it out. Thanks. Apr 09 06:25:45 I'm getting started with my SDK. Is there a simple way to get hold of the basic CFLAGS/ASFLAGS that the bitbaking of my image uses, or do I have to dig in the source? Apr 09 06:26:26 i usually build with bitbake -D Apr 09 06:30:46 m4t, that'll do. thanks :) Apr 09 06:31:28 hehe /OE/dev/recipes/angstrom/bigbuckbunny-720p.bb Apr 09 06:32:34 convenient :) Apr 09 06:34:19 yeah.. I was just curious why it downloads 2 versions of bigbuckbunny just to check checksums :) Apr 09 06:40:37 good morning Apr 09 06:43:15 JaMa, ah, I didn't even look into the recipe :) Apr 09 07:20:46 03Sebastian Spaeth  07org.openembedded.dev * r23fd249194 10openembedded.git/recipes/connman/connman_0.46.bb: Apr 09 07:20:47 connman: bump v0.46 to v0.51 Apr 09 07:20:47 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth Apr 09 07:20:48 03Sebastian Spaeth  07org.openembedded.dev * rcf0b93fc60 10openembedded.git/conf/distro/include/sane-srcrevs.inc: Apr 09 07:20:48 sane-sercrevs: bump fso-cornucopia to newer Apr 09 07:20:48 Signed-off-by: Sebastian Spaeth Apr 09 07:20:49 03Sebastian Spaeth  07org.openembedded.dev * r7464bb793d 10openembedded.git/: Merge branch 'org.openembedded.dev' of ssh+git://git@git.openembedded.net/openembedded into org.openembedded.dev Apr 09 07:20:56 03Sebastian Spaeth  07org.openembedded.dev * ra90b30cad0 10openembedded.git/recipes/connman/connman_0.46.bb: Apr 09 07:20:56 connman: readd v.046 Apr 09 07:20:56 For those who want to continue using it.

I suppose this shouldn't be used. Any settings that are different on server Apr 09 16:13:37 have a nice weekend Apr 09 16:26:51 kergoth: Whats the motivation for it? Apr 09 16:27:20 cuts down on unnecessary parsing. doesn't have a huge effect on regular builds, but it almost makes -n tolerable Apr 09 16:28:34 kergoth: What's the memory overhead like on a long build? Apr 09 16:28:52 130K per recipe being built. Apr 09 16:28:55 roughly Apr 09 16:30:04 So on a world poky build with 1000 recipes, the worst case would be 130MB extra memory Apr 09 16:30:14 * RP is just trying to check the numbers are sane... Apr 09 16:30:40 yeah.. not sure whether its worth it or not. did some profiling, might want to do some more Apr 09 16:30:50 would definitely be post-1.10 if we want it at all Apr 09 16:31:45 kergoth: I suspect we could make it neat if we do some kind of task distance calculation in the scheduler and clear the cache if the distances are too great Apr 09 16:32:02 Hmm, good idea Apr 09 16:32:05 kergoth: lets keep it around and play with it a bit Apr 09 16:32:20 * kergoth nods Apr 09 16:32:24 kergoth: maybe an rfc branch in bitbake itself or something Apr 09 16:33:04 What would be scary is going back to the 1GB memory consuption of bitbake :) Apr 09 16:33:58 yeah, that was what worried me at first, but at least this one only caches what you're building, not everything Apr 09 16:34:04 will see Apr 09 17:02:31 03Mike Westerhof  07org.openembedded.dev * r53c30775c5 10openembedded.git/conf/distro/include/preferred-slugos-versions.inc: Apr 09 17:02:31 SlugOS: preferred-slugos-versions.inc - add autoconf-2.61 Apr 09 17:02:31 This fixes build failures with m4, maiu, and inetutils, which fail with autoconf 2.65 Apr 09 17:25:04 03Mike Westerhof  07org.openembedded.dev * ra402eac893 10openembedded.git/conf/distro/include/preferred-slugos-versions.inc: Apr 09 17:25:04 SlugOS: preferred-slugos-versions.inc - lock down older version of gtk+ Apr 09 17:25:04 Avoids build failures because newer versions require a newer automake, which cannot Apr 09 17:25:04 be used at this time because other packages fail to build with the newer automake Apr 09 17:25:04 and its dependencies.

Apr 09 18:11:19 re Apr 09 18:11:20 hi all Apr 09 18:11:25 hey pb_ Apr 09 18:11:46 just been moving my caravan. glad that's over. Apr 09 18:11:53 nice Apr 09 18:22:55 hi . i am doing a bitbake meta-toolchain-qte and keep on getting error regarding gdbm-native it is Apr 09 18:23:07 install: cannot stat `libgdbm.a': No such file or directory Apr 09 18:23:34 anyone please help me as how should i resolve this Apr 09 18:24:18 my conf is MACHINE=mini2440 DISTRO=angstrom-2008.1 Apr 09 18:30:20 i did the bitbake meta-toolchain-qte right now and it again gave me the same error Apr 09 18:30:33 kindly give me some direction Apr 09 18:45:22 hi zecke Apr 09 18:49:33 [shr/unstable 47c6583] recipes: move checksums to recipes from checksums.ini 4919 files changed, 14766 insertions(+), 45 deletions(-) Apr 09 18:49:58 yow Apr 09 18:50:25 JaMa: you saw the -b fix went in right? Apr 09 18:50:46 yup, this is stil wip Apr 09 18:50:58 thanks Apr 09 18:51:05 cool, just making sure Apr 09 18:51:32 hi Apr 09 18:51:36 hey zecke Apr 09 18:51:48 btw do we need checksums.ini support in .bbclasses after this patch went in and all sources are checked agains in-recipe checksums? Apr 09 18:51:58 while i do bitbake meta-toolchain-qte right in the beginning i get Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['qt4-embedded-gles'] Apr 09 18:52:00 and Apr 09 18:52:07 Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['virtual/egl'] Apr 09 18:52:11 i think it should be kept for compatibility to support external overlays, at least for now Apr 09 18:52:15 can always add a deprecation message Apr 09 18:52:52 is it because of these i keep on getting the gdbm staging failed error Apr 09 18:52:52 ?? Apr 09 18:53:20 kergoth_: ok.. with changed order, it will parse it only when there is no in-recipe checksum, so no performance hit for oe.dev :) Apr 09 18:53:29 * kergoth_ nods Apr 09 18:53:32 sounds good to me Apr 09 18:53:46 and of course it won't have much impact if no checksums.ini files exist, i'm sure Apr 09 18:54:24 hmm Apr 09 18:54:42 ok.. 43 recipes with mismatch checksums and few not downloadable.. Apr 09 18:55:10 mismatches are always worrisome, but given the number of recipes, could be worse Apr 09 19:04:37 03Mike Westerhof  07org.openembedded.dev * rd2b5912918 10openembedded.git/conf/distro/include/preferred-slugos-versions.inc: SlugOS: preferred-slugos-versions.inc - fix missing closing quote Apr 09 19:05:08 :p That'll teach me to edit in a hurry. Apr 09 19:08:13 heh Apr 09 19:09:43 yeah, and now, just to prove that the universe has a perverse sense of humor, the autobuilder started just before I fixed my broken commit... Apr 09 19:09:53 haha, nice.. Apr 09 19:10:13 would be nice to have an oelint or something, hook it up to run on write of any .inc/.bb Apr 09 19:13:26 I actually just wrote such a tool, for a client's home-grown build system (using Perl's Parse::recdescent module) -- so far every build config we have tested has proven to have major errors that were undetected until now...

So I think we should only Apr 09 19:31:44 leave latest tzdata version and move that forward whenever someone discovers Apr 09 19:31:45 that elsie.nci.nih.gov dropped that version. Same for tzcode.

Apr 09 20:00:18 foo.git/hooks/ Apr 09 20:00:35 look for any that don't have '.sample' and which are executable. its likely the one used in the oe repo for CIA is 'update' Apr 09 20:00:41 kergoth: so its at the repository location, not in the repository itself? Apr 09 20:00:53 yep Apr 09 20:00:58 ok, looking Apr 09 20:04:11 kergoth: there is a post-receive hook already installed Apr 09 20:04:20 the openembedded repo uses update Apr 09 20:04:48 take a look at the update one in OE, does it only do cia? Apr 09 20:04:55 should probably just copy that right over to bitbake Apr 09 20:05:12 the cia project will either be in the update script, or in the foo.git/config, depending on the hook being used Apr 09 20:05:25 kergoth: http://pastebin.com/rbzb34R6 Apr 09 20:05:58 kergoth: the update script does some checking Apr 09 20:05:59 hmm, that doesn't work for some reason. it should, but it doesn't. we ahven't gotten a bitbake cia notification since 2009 Apr 09 20:06:18 is OE using git-notify too? Apr 09 20:06:23 pastebin the update hook please :) Apr 09 20:07:00 kergoth: we have the script from winehq Apr 09 20:07:03 cbrake: hi. :) Apr 09 20:07:38 for now i'd say drop the post-receive in bitbake and pull over oe's update hook, since the latter clearly works and the former clearly doesn't :) Apr 09 20:11:20 zecke: hello Apr 09 20:18:12 kergoth: I'm emailing you the scripts -- I'll be buried for another week or two, then things should lighten up a bit Apr 09 20:19:07 if you could, try changing the -c bitbake to -c Bitbake in the post-receive.. i doubt that's it, but its worth a shot. i'll take a closer look at the scripts Apr 09 20:20:36 kergoth: ok, above change is done Apr 09 20:23:38 grr, what the hell Apr 09 20:23:40 oh well Apr 09 20:24:02 koen seems gone from IRC now, so someone else know? is packagekit_0.5.6.bb missing PE intentionaly or can I add it to sort it higher than 0.5.2?

I like the deprecated decorator, but it still has to create a new function to decorate to wrap it and forcibly inject it into the module.. the ugly part stays :) Apr 09 23:58:13 ah well, gets the job done Apr 09 23:58:15 thanks Apr 09 23:58:57 np Apr 10 00:01:48 03Andrea Adami  07org.openembedded.dev * r07dc1447e0 10openembedded.git/recipes/kexecboot/linux-kexecboot-2.6.33+2.6.34-rc3/ (collie/defconfig tosa/defconfig): linux-kexecboot: fix/refine defconfigs of collie and tosa for 2.6.34 Apr 10 00:08:32 03Andrea Adami  07org.openembedded.dev * r4600b2c592 10openembedded.git/recipes/zaurus-utils/zaurus-installer.bb: zaurus-installer: remove trailing tabs Apr 10 00:18:18 03Martin Jansa  07org.openembedded.dev * rda23753c79 10openembedded.git/recipes/pyphonelog/pyphonelog_git.bb: pyphonelog: bump SRCREV Apr 10 00:53:36 * kergoth_ tries to unbork the ncurses ui Apr 10 00:54:08 03Martin Jansa  07org.openembedded.dev * r6efb10dc98 10openembedded.git/recipes/shr/e-wm-theme-illume-gry_git.bb: e-wm-theme-illume-gry: bump SRCREV Apr 10 01:06:29 * kergoth reads up on the multiprocessing module Apr 10 01:08:59 anyone available that might be able to help me with a few things regarding bitbake? Apr 10 01:13:07 LANman247: if you have a question, ask it Apr 10 01:13:49 alright, i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to writing bitbake recipes Apr 10 01:14:20 i'm trying to write a recipe to cross compile Csound Apr 10 01:15:06 and no matter what i try, it fails to do whatever it needs to Apr 10 01:15:54 i have successfully used bitbake to cross compile an application that already has a recipe written (setserial), so i know that it works Apr 10 01:16:24 you're going to have to elaborate Apr 10 01:16:29 but i guess i'm lost at how i would go about writing a recipe for an existing application Apr 10 01:16:34 "fails to do whatever it needs to" isn't particularly helpful Apr 10 01:16:44 fails to compile Apr 10 01:16:49 again, tells me nothing. Apr 10 01:32:46 LANman247: how you get something to crosscompile, in or outside of OE, depends on the buildsystem in question. not just the type of buildsystem, but the specific one. and we can't give specific help unless you ask specific questions. when a task fails, it points you to a log file. Make that available. Apr 10 01:36:47 when you say buildsystem, are you referring to the OS that i'm using for my build environment (i.e. Ubuntu 9.10)? Apr 10 01:36:51 no. Apr 10 01:37:12 I'm referring to the buildsystem of the software you're trying to build. Apr 10 01:37:25 autotools based, qmake based, tmake based, gnu make based, scons, waf, .. Apr 10 01:37:31 aaaah Apr 10 01:37:35 it is scons Apr 10 01:37:57 still insufficient information. make sure you're inheriting the class for an scons build, to start with Apr 10 01:38:34 alright, i'm doing a bit more reading on it Apr 10 01:44:05 * kergoth_ makes a todo list for some bitbake code improvements Apr 10 01:46:46 also, another issue while i'm reading into that: i'm trying to use a serial port on a Gumstix Overo COM as a virtual MIDI port. everywhere i look i keep seeing that i should use "modprobe snd-serial-u16550" which is a serial to MIDI driver through ALSA. however, when i try to use modprobe to use that driver, i get "FATAL: Module snd_serial_u16550 not found" Apr 10 01:47:22 off topic. that's a distro / linux configuration issue, specific to gumstix. I'm pretty sure there's a gumstix channel on this irc network, try there Apr 10 01:47:56 i shall ask there then, thanks Apr 10 01:48:11 np Apr 10 02:39:27 sheesh, I've committed a crapload of little things to bitbake over the past couple days Apr 10 02:53:54 re Apr 10 02:59:16 hey MWelchUK_work_ Apr 10 02:59:20 er, mwester **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Apr 10 02:59:57 2010
