**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Jul 05 02:59:58 2015 Jul 05 05:24:25 I have a question regarding PACKAGECONFIG usage. I’ve read the documentation in the manual, but the concept still doesn’t quite make sense to me. I’m trying to configure qt5 to build with support for directfb. Inside their recipe, they have a line that reads like this “PACKAGECONFIG[directfb] = ….” Is simply enabling directfb in my DISTRO_FEATURES enough to “pull in” this packageconfig directive? Or is there something else Jul 05 05:24:25 have to do to enable this option? Am I missing the point entirely?? :P Jul 05 10:20:45 Hi all. I am new to Yocto and need some help building a new image. Jul 05 10:21:38 I started with fsl-image-multimedia-full and added multiple package groups to that such as X, SSH, build essentiola, etc. However I dont think it is possible for me to add all that I would need in future. Jul 05 10:22:12 Therefore I would like the built image to be able to use already available software repos such as the one from fedora/ubuntu. Jul 05 10:22:25 I need some advice on how I can do that. Jul 05 15:05:01 ffff_: you can't really do that practically Jul 05 15:05:36 ns?bluelightning: Any suggesstio Jul 05 15:07:21 ffff_, you need to make your own package feeds or look at an OE based distribution that provides package feeds such as Angstrom Jul 05 15:07:57 ffff_: we have a wealth of recipes for software now in additional layers - see http://layers.openembedded.org (click "Recipes" to search / browse) Jul 05 15:08:36 Since it’s a more reasonable hour now: I have a question regarding PACKAGECONFIG usage. I’ve read the documentation in the manual, but the concept still doesn’t quite make sense to me. I’m trying to configure qt5 to build with support for directfb. Inside their recipe, they have a line that reads like this “PACKAGECONFIG[directfb] = ….” Is simply enabling directfb in my DISTRO_FEATURES enough to “pull in” this packageconf Jul 05 15:08:36 directive? Or is there something else I have to do to enable this option? Am I missing the point entirely?? Jul 05 15:10:09 Crofton: Thanks I will take a look. So these distributions have pre-built packages for ARM architecture I assume. Jul 05 15:10:58 bluelightning: Thanks. So if I need a new packge, I can just built the package using bitbake and install it? Jul 05 15:22:48 bmcdorman: read the value of the PACKAGECONFIG variable (not the flag, the value, see the = or ?= of PACKAGECONFIG itself). if it has logic to set itself default based on DISTRO_FEATURES, then you know eanbling the distro feature is enough, if not, it's not Jul 05 15:23:53 kergoth: Cool. Does bitbake detect that the package needs to be rebuilt if the DISTRO_FEATURES change and the package has already been built? Jul 05 15:26:59 I suppose it’s easy to test :-P Will try it out Jul 05 15:30:50 bitbake checksums the metadata. any change to a variable used by a task will re-run that task and every task that depends on that task, recursively Jul 05 15:34:37 kergoth: Cool. Thanks! Jul 05 15:37:24 bmcdorman: it's worth noting, though, that in the past at times things got unhappy in an existing tmpdir when changing distro or distro features, i'm guessing not everything would get cleaned out that needed to be. if you run into weird build problems after changing distro features, you might want to wipe tmp and try again Jul 05 15:37:34 not sure if thats still the case, but just so you're aware Jul 05 15:39:23 kergoth: Yeah, I used bitbake about 3.5 years ago and my experience taught me not to trust anything it does :-P. It seems like things have improved dramatically since then, though. I’ll be sure to check that. Jul 05 15:40:02 yeah, it's rather more deterministic than it used to be, less likely to do something inexplicably, though that doesn't always mean it does what you want, just what you told it to do :) Jul 05 19:26:24 I used hob to add more packages to a minimul image Jul 05 19:26:45 And built it successfully with hob. Jul 05 19:27:59 However it does not create the sdimage, so I guess I need to invoke bitbake again from the same terminal after closing hob. Jul 05 19:28:09 but which image name should I use? Jul 05 19:35:32 Also, do the created RPM content included in the SD image?Or should they be installed seperately? **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Jul 06 02:59:59 2015
