Apr 16 14:42:31 <cptG> hello! I'm trying to reproduce the v2012.12 image from the setup-scripts repo (branch angstrom-v2012.12-yocto1.3) but I'm running into problems due to my distro - python3 instead of python2, tar too new - is there any recommended distribution to build on? I'd set up a virtual machine then. Further argument for that: bitbake tries to install eglibc_initial to /usr - I'm not comfortable with that at all...
Apr 16 14:45:01 <bluelightning> cptG: the build system shouldn't poke into directories on your host system at all
Apr 16 14:45:24 <bluelightning> cptG: what suggests that it is?
Apr 16 14:46:23 <cptG> bluelightning: bitbake systemd-image fails with "permission denied" when trying to install a header to '/usr/include/gnu/option-groups.h'
Apr 16 14:48:05 <cptG> bluelightning: sources/openembedded-core/meta/recipes-core/eglibc/eglibc-initial.inc contains "--prefix=/usr" as argument to the configure script. The same is true for branch angstrom-v2013.12-yocto1.5
Apr 16 14:48:26 <cptG> ...or does bitbake use some kind of chroot magic?
Apr 16 14:48:31 <bluelightning> cptG: --prefix=/usr is correct, the actual install path that goes before that comes later
Apr 16 14:48:44 <cptG> I see.
Apr 16 14:48:48 <bluelightning> the error is concerning though
Apr 16 14:49:39 <bluelightning> unfortunately 2012.12 and the OpenEmbedded branch it's based on is quite old by now, I would expect problems on more modern host distros
Apr 16 14:50:34 <cptG> bluelightning: so I might be better off with angstrom-v2014.06-yocto1.6 I guess
Apr 16 14:51:08 <bluelightning> I would think so yes, with the caveat that I don't build angstrom itself regularly, just the build system it's based upon
Apr 16 14:52:03 <cptG> I'll try my luck with a newer branch then.
Apr 16 15:07:53 <cptG> bluelightning: heh, oebb.sh from the new branch warned me that my make-version is broken (3.82) - I downgraded to 3.81 and now bitbake on the old branch continues happily :)
Apr 16 15:08:56 <bluelightning> cptG: interesting
Apr 16 15:09:02 <bluelightning> your distro should really be providing non-broken make 3.82 though, if not you should take it up with them ;)
Apr 16 15:11:35 <cptG> bluelightning: it even provides make 4.0.0 - I downgraded from there to 3.82 before :) - if I can find out, what is meant by "broken" I'll file a bug report. Could you point me to the sanity checker script/configuration?
Apr 16 15:12:17 <bluelightning> cptG: sure, it's openembedded-core/meta/classes/sanity.bbclass
Apr 16 15:12:47 <cptG> bluelightning: thanks!
