**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sat Jun 13 02:59:59 2015 Jun 13 07:33:39 question: if i just compiled core-image-minimal, does subsequent compilation of core-image-sato make use of all the previous compilation's cached download and compiled binaries? Jun 13 07:34:38 seemed like the answer is no, as core-image-minimal is quite fast, but sato now is estimated few more hours. Jun 13 07:35:24 As long as you don't delete the download directory, yes. Jun 13 07:36:03 You can share that download pile with other OE (Yocto) projects, just point conf/local.conf to the pile. Jun 13 07:36:33 sato has a lot more to build, thus, it is slower. Jun 13 07:36:35 i see....thank you T0mW....but I guessed the compiled results are in two different directories (ie, minimal and sato are having different output binaries directory) Jun 13 07:37:27 My system here is an Intel i7 (8 core) with 32G RAM and a 256G SSD. I can build the sato in less than an hour (48 minutes). Jun 13 07:39:06 I think I was referring to the downloaded sources and you were referring to where they got built? Jun 13 07:40:09 sorry for the confusion....yes, i understood they are downloaded into one DOWNLOAD directory... Jun 13 07:40:39 but when minimal got build, the output object files are located diff from that of sato right? Jun 13 07:41:40 so if that is so...i guessed that is where most of time is spent....recompiling everything again...even though it is the same x86_64 output. Jun 13 07:41:51 AFAICT, building sato after minimal is incremental, to a degree. Package demands differ for the two images, but if a shared package is needed, and it already built, nothing occurs. Jun 13 07:42:25 look in tmp/work. Jun 13 07:45:58 As far as i understand, bitbake uses a set of checks to see if a package (recipe) needs to be rebuilt. There is no easy answer to say that once a recipe has been built, it need not be built again for another image. Jun 13 07:46:50 I don't care, my new machine blasts through the build. My old Quad-4 + 8G RAM + SATA drives would take 5 hours to build minimal. Jun 13 07:47:29 but then, I'm doing production work and the boss bought the new box. hehee Jun 13 14:47:13 can some explain this error (it happened when I was running "bitbake core-image-minimal" using minnowboardmax configuration. Jun 13 14:47:21 url is here: http://pastebin.com/auLDxnLu Jun 13 15:11:18 sounds like there is no recipes that those appends are supposed to append to Jun 13 15:44:47 thanks JEEBsv, but I am using the defaut recipes given by meta-intel Jun 13 15:46:25 tthtlc: meta-intel contains the bbappends, it means that other parts that you're using do not contain the actual bb files Jun 13 15:46:51 as in "you're telling me to append these things to bb files but... uhh... these things don't exist anywhere I can find them" **** ENDING LOGGING AT Sun Jun 14 02:59:58 2015
