Bitbaking the kernel, Angstrom and qt4-embedded all at once
This is what i should have done to begin with! The instructions are very similar to previous ones except this time we clone the right git repository!
On a fresh copy of Fedora 11 I updated the system and installed the packages reccommended by OE:
python-psyco perl texinfo texi2html diffstat openjade docbook-style-dsssl
docbook-style-xsl docbook-dtds docbook-utils sed bison bc glibc-devel glibc-static
gcc binutils pcre pcre-devel git quilt groff linuxdoc-tools patch linuxdoc-tools
gcc-c++ help2man perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker”
I then made a folder called OE in my home directory and git cloned the mini2440 repo:
mkdir OE
cd OE
git clone git://repo.or.cz/openembedded/mini2440.git openembedded
I then setup the source-me.txt similar to before:
I put the following in:
BBPATH=${OETREE}/:${OETREE}/openembedded/
echo Setting up dev env for Ångström
if [ -z ${ORG_PATH} ] ; then
ORG_PATH=${PATH}
export ORG_PATH
fi
if [ -z ${ORG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH} ] ; then
ORG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
export ORG_LD_LIBRARY_PATH
fi
PATH=${OETREE}/openembedded/bitbake/bin:${ORG_PATH}
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=
export PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH BBPATH
export LANG=C
export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="MACHINE DISTRO OETREE ANGSTROM_MODE ANGSTROMLIBC LIBC"
su -c 'sysctl vm.mmap_min_addr=0'
echo "Altered environment for OE Development"
Now all you need to do is setup the local.conf. Simply edit the example and copy it to the right place:
gedit mini2440_local_conf_example.conf
Read this file and edit as appropriate. I have attached mine as an example. Now copy it to the conf/local.conf
If you want qt4-embedded or any other package included in the build simply edit the recipe in:
I added qt4-embedded:
IMAGE_PREPROCESS_COMMAND = "create_etc_timestamp"
ANGSTROM_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""
DEPENDS = "task-base-extended
psplash-zap
esekeyd u-boot-utils tslib
i2c-tools i2c screen rsync nfs-utils
directfb gdbserver directfb mtd-utils
"
IMAGE_INSTALL = "task-base-extended
${ANGSTROM_EXTRA_INSTALL}
psplash-zap qt4-embedded
esekeyd u-boot-utils tslib-calibrate tslib-tests
i2c-tools i2c screen rsync nfs-utils-client
directfb gdbserver directfb mtd-utils
rsvg pango
"
export IMAGE_BASENAME = "mini2440-image"
IMAGE_LINGUAS = ""
inherit image
Then all you have to do is source the script from wherever you put it:
and run bitbake:
from the ~/OE/openembedded/ directory..
If you get an error trying to build a package try cleaning it:
Then try and build the image again. Maybe you won’t have this problem. I guess it’s either because the checksum parser failed to build or my hdd is dodgy. It only happened once on binutils but worked fine after cleaning it.
A few hours later if all goes well you should have images in:
Obviously that directory depends on what you setup in the local.conf.
Good luck!
Sounds like no recipe, are you sure the name’s correct? If you can’t find it you might need to pull it in from the OE classic branch.
