Bitbake Install Problem
« on: February 27, 2005, 11:54:43 am »
I'm trying to install the OpenEmbedded build tools on my Mandrake 10.0 system. I'm trying to follow the instructions on the OE 'Getting Started' website but am stuck trying to install bitbake. I think I've got all of the required tools installed, but when I try to install bitbake with:
   ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr/local

I get an error message:
"error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)"

Indeed, my system does not have a /usr/lib/python2.3/config directory (and thus no Makefile). Does anyone know where this comes from? I checked the python2.3 RPM and it does not provide a Makefile in config. Where else would this come from? Am I doing something else wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.

Ok, to answer my own question I found I did not have the python-devel libs installed. Once I got that installed, the bitbake install went fine.

Sorry for the bandwidth.
