Help With Bb File, I'm new at this bitbake thing... Options

[koen]

Koen,
Thanks for that. Unfortunately, the source directories use uppercase letters. There are a number of packages at PlutoHome that do (e.g. PlutoUtils, DCE, SerializeClass, etc.) in that case how do you handle that?

Rob

S = "${WORKDIR}/NameInLeetUpperCase"

koen,
What I have now is :

S = "${WORKDIR}/${PN}"

So I should change it to:

S = "${WORKDIR}/SerializeClass"

?

and it should get over the upper case problem?

yes

Ok, I've gotten a bit farther but am throwing some real wierd errors. This is what I did:

I named the .bb file: serializeclass_1.1.1.bb all lower case.
Changed the line

S = "${WORKDIR}/${PN}" to

S = "${WORKDIR}/SerializeClass"

I then went into the Makefile for SerializeClass and changed the
ROOT = .. to
ROOT = /home/oc60174/oe/build/tmp/work/serializeclass-1.1.1-r0
just to see if it would compile.

It looks like it found the make.rules file in PlutoUtils but now is throwing the following error:

Is it a problem with gcc-4? or a problem with the code?

Also, lardman, the source is downloading/unpacking to: ~/oe/build/tmp/work/serializeclass-1.1.1-r0/PlutoUtils
~/oe/build/tmp/work/serializeclass-1.1.1-r0/SerializeClass

Anyhelp is appreciated.

You might wish to look at the how to guide for building with the target being the Nokia 770 in Pluto@Home's wiki.

I'd rather see bitbake working though. More portable.

Yeah, I saw that one. It looked pretty hard though. Bitbake is made for OZ and I was hoping to be able to do in that environment... Looks like bitbake is difficult as well. I haven't given up yet. Still working on it. I'll report here if I get any farther.

[. Bitbake is made for OZ

No it isn't, it's a generic task executor, that couple with OE can build stuff for lots of distributions, and one of those is OZ.

I stand corrected. I guess what I meant was that it will build for OZ specifically.
