Unable to build root file system

Added by Noman Siddiqui about 13 years ago

Hi Mike,

I was trying to build the root file system using the instructions on the wiki but getting lot of errors. Could you please take a look at the attached file and let me know if i am missing something.

Thanks,
Noman

Hi Norman,

A couple of observations:

1) The package name is "build-essential" not "build-essentials", I will try to correct the original wiki page. Sorry about that.

2) When you cloned the openembedded setup, did you check out a specific revision as per the wiki? We don't test against the bleeding edge, but against the commit that is listed in the wiki.

Hi Mike,

build-essential is now installed. However, i realized that the checkout was not done because it was not in the right directory. I corrected the steps as below:

#bash> export MDK=/home/mitydsp/MDK_2011-03-31
#bash> cd ${MDK}/sw/ARM/linux/oe
#bash> wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
#bash> tar xzf bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
#bash> ln -s bitbake-1.8.18 bitbake
#bash> git clone git://git.openembedded.org/openembedded
#bash> cd openembedded
#bash> git checkout b92a5ec362603f3de9b983128c0a9c464cc4bb65
#bash> export OEDIR=${MDK}/sw/ARM/linux/oe/openembedded
#bash> mkdir build
#bash> . setup-env

My build is still failing i guess because the git.kernel.org is down. Is there anyway to use get the needed repository from somewhere else ?

Thanks,
Noman

In theory, you could point it to support.criticallink.com's tree....

Kind of spooky the amount of time git.kernel.org has been down..... hopefully it will be back shortly....
