**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Fri Dec 28 02:59:58 2012 Dec 28 11:38:38 mmh... gold linker misbuilds also the grub2 bootloader, and I thought gold has only issues on arm :( is there a way to specify the linker which is used by gcc? Dec 28 13:24:21 ping DJWillis Dec 28 13:28:29 pwgen: hey there Dec 28 13:29:15 ant_work: viggo is born .. 4.315 kg 53 cm ,, now i have a son ... Dec 28 13:30:05 I was about asking :) Congrats! Dec 28 13:30:52 so, time will be a bit rare in the next months ..(8-)) Dec 28 13:34:37 but the kexec stuff is not running on raspberry, maybe it needs some kexec params or additional stuff inside kexec Dec 28 13:37:52 do you happen to have any big endian device to test for us? Dec 28 13:38:22 we have possibly some fb issues Dec 28 13:39:40 on kexec_git branch ? Dec 28 13:40:19 yes, there is one commit in zeldin branch Dec 28 13:41:09 s/branch/fork/ Dec 28 13:42:50 which we need to refactor an merge Dec 28 13:43:07 "fb.c: Fix endianness bugs in true-color rendering" Dec 28 13:43:12 ok maybe this night i will get hopefully some hours. the i will try it on the rasp ( fb stuff and partition parsing is unaffected from kexex stuuf ) Dec 28 13:56:51 bbl Dec 28 16:27:41 hi, my lxc-based builder shows 0 inodes total/used/free. how can I disable the check? Dec 28 16:28:59 i mean, only to check disk space, not inodes Dec 28 16:30:18 read local.conf. (local.conf.sample from meta-yocto) Dec 28 16:30:26 it's BB_DISKMON_DIRS Dec 28 16:30:42 hmm, would be kind of nice if oe-core also had samples Dec 28 16:33:44 thanks. will get meta-yocto and read. btw, I'm trying to make my own layer to export a MACHINE but when using it it's not recognized. is there a verbose mode to see which meta-* are been considering and which don't, and why? :) Dec 28 16:34:50 (using oe-core alone) Dec 28 16:42:54 see the bitbake-layers tool Dec 28 16:43:13 thank you Dec 28 16:43:14 it's included with bitbake Dec 28 16:43:17 np Dec 28 17:09:15 kergoth: I just made a fresh clone of oe-core, then added bitbake and meta-angstrom, oe-init-build-env and `bitbake-layers show-layers` ... but only shows "meta".... is that normal? :( Dec 28 17:11:38 sounds like you didn't add meta-angstrom to bblayers.conf Dec 28 17:11:46 it doesn't automatically add every layer that exists to your config Dec 28 17:11:48 you have tod o that Dec 28 17:11:54 just cloning it wont do it Dec 28 17:14:15 kergoth: ah, ok. i naively thought oe-init-build-env would do it for me Dec 28 17:14:31 * mnemoc still believes in magic :) Dec 28 17:14:44 hehe Dec 28 17:15:57 it should be pretty easy to iterate over */conf/layers.txt and generate a complete bblayers.conf magically :p Dec 28 17:16:24 and what if you have 42 bsp layers, not all of which are safe to include when buliding for other machines? Dec 28 17:16:29 then your world explodes Dec 28 17:17:53 fair enough Dec 28 17:22:10 i agree it would be nice if it was handled a bit more flexibly, but it's just not safe to assume very much Dec 28 17:37:17 mnemoc: in an ideal world, including a layer itself wouldn't change any behavior, but would only make things available, and *fix* issues in recipes with appends, but not all distro layers use distro overrides for everything, and not all bsp layers use machine overrides for everything Dec 28 17:37:36 mnemoc: might be a good janitorial task to address this for all of LayerIndex Dec 28 17:39:03 but oe itself does support doing per-machine and if-package stuff, right? and not everthing global Dec 28 17:39:45 the capability has always been there, both for files (file://) and for metadata Dec 28 17:40:02 but not all layers get equal attention :) Dec 28 17:40:08 :) Dec 28 17:40:27 any recommended layer to learn to do things right? Dec 28 17:40:53 not sure, haven't reviewed many close enough for this sort of sanity Dec 28 17:41:58 but its relatively simple, if you're overriding a file (e.g. inittab, fstab, whatever), move the file into a machine or distro subdir. e.g. instead of recipes-foo/bar/bar/ do recipes-foo/bar/bar/qemuarm/. and for variables, use a distro or machine override when appropriate. of course, bugfixes and the like are fine to apply unconditionally Dec 28 17:43:01 ah, nice Dec 28 17:43:03 thanks :) Dec 28 17:43:49 np Dec 28 17:44:18 file:// uris always check a subset of OVERRIDES when searching for the file. see the definitions of FILESPATH, etc in oe-core for the details Dec 28 17:46:05 will do Dec 28 18:56:03 pwgen: pong Dec 28 19:06:36 DJWillis: any interest in adding raspberry 3.6 to meta-raspberry ? Dec 28 19:46:45 hi, new to oe. Im at work, and unfortunately all of our senior engineers are gone for the day. Im trying to get a python package (reportlab) installed on OE, and Im making a much of things. Starting out, easy_install for python wasn't working, but I believe I have that _partially_ working. The error I am getting now is that it cannot find stdio.h, and opkg config files have been modified to look only for local repos. Im not quite sure where to go from here o Dec 28 19:46:45 r what to look for - can anyone offer advice? Dec 28 19:47:04 make a muck* of things* Dec 28 19:48:12 at this stage, I have three potential sources of problems, gcc python and OE. Going with the OE route, since OE seems to be missing a lot of what I need in order to build the package, how might I go about getting this installed? Dec 28 19:48:32 OE is a build tool, not a distro. if you're having problems at runtime on the device, you should talk to whomever has responsibility for your distro (e.g. angstrom, poky) Dec 28 19:49:23 hmm so I missunderstsood was OE was then. I thought OE was a distro... by build tool, what do you mean? (just asking for clarification) Dec 28 19:50:06 openembedded is used to compile the distro and produce packages or binary images for use on some hardware. Dec 28 19:50:16 angstrom, poky, shr, and others use OE to build Dec 28 19:52:32 Im just now getting into programming, so I apologize for the nascent questions. So GCC and greenhiles are also used for compiling yes? Or am I mixing the two? Dec 28 19:52:45 greenhills* Dec 28 19:59:06 those are compiler toolchains, yes. OE isn't used to compiling one thing, they're used to build entire linux distributions from source, which includes hundreds of software projects. Dec 28 19:59:11 s/compiling/compile/ Dec 28 20:12:39 pwgen: yes, just been busy and Andrei is keen to move the layer to Yocto's hosting so its sort of in limbo. Dec 28 20:30:46 ok. Dec 28 20:54:46 pwgen: also picked up working on some other layers as the RPi one is not in such a bad state and fairly stable ;) Dec 28 20:55:48 i am working on an ramconsole/kexecboot image and needed modified kernel configs Dec 28 20:56:16 so i created an new raspberry 3.6 kernel recipe Dec 28 20:57:14 dev default is one from the kernel configs and this lacks at least initrd option ( kexec seems boken on the raspberry ) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sat Dec 29 02:59:58 2012
