**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Aug 07 02:59:57 2016 Aug 07 14:48:58 Hello, last evening I mentioned that my build was hanging on do_configure. So I cleaned the build directory, re-initialized, and ran bitbake with -v. Aug 07 14:49:39 so it hung again on task 5393 of 5529, after exiting do_package_qa. Any tips on what to look for next? Aug 07 14:59:24 okay I am just learning this stuff.. it's at NOTE: Running noexec task 5393 of 5529 (ID: 1628, /home/rich/yocto/poky/meta/recipes-devtools/perl/perl_5.22.1.bb, do_build Aug 07 14:59:30 there for almost 2h Aug 07 17:09:03 in the case anyone is about to query about my build issues, I found the problem. for whatever reason qmake in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qt4/bin was symlinked to /usr/bin/qmake so all I did was uninstall/install the qt4-qmake deb package and all worked fine. **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 08 02:59:58 2016
