Oe Build Problem
« on: March 14, 2005, 09:04:39 pm »
I'm having trouble trying to build oe for Opie. I think I've got everything installed properly based on the Wiki, but when I issue the 'bitbake opie-image' the build fails when trying to run do_configure on 'pkgconfig-native-0.15.0-r1'. The error is:

NOTE: Executing autoreconf --verbose --install --force --exclude=autopoint -I . -I /home/keithg/Zaurus/oe/tmp/staging/i686-linux/share/aclocal
Usage: autoreconf [-f] [-h] [--help] [-m dir] [--macrodir=dir]
       [-l dir] [--localdir=dir] [--force] [--verbose] [--version]
       [--cygnus] [--foreign] [--gnits] [--gnu] [-i] [--include-deps]
FATAL: autoreconf execution failed.
~

The puzzling thing about the autoreconf command is that the man page does not list the '--exclude' argument. What version of autoreconf am I supposed to have? I recently installed the latest package I could find for my Manrake 10.0 machine (2.59) with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Install the autotools in their latest versions on your host. For non-native packages, OE builds their own autotools and uses them. For a couple of native packages, your host tools are used.

Do you mean the autoconf package? I've installed the latest I could find (V2.59).

Or do you mean autotools? All I could find for autotools is autotools-0.4.0-3sfnet.i586.rpm which seems pretty old (2003).  Any suggestions here?

p.s. Which mailing list can I post questions like this too? I've tried posting to comp.handhelds.openembedded but none of my messages get on the list.

thanks for the help

I  have got this error too.

In classes/autotools.bbclass, you can find "EXTRA_AUTORECONF = "--exclude=autopoint""  at line 24.
I set it to "" .

"EXTRA_AUTORECONF = ""

U can try .
