Hi. My goal is just to be able to compile generic ar/QT/QPE pkgs for my poodle running OZ 3.5.1. got oe and packages using bitkeeper. edited the local.conf. now what? didnt do any oebuild or oemake yet cause i dont know what to make. i know i would have to create a .oe file for whatever src i wnat to compile but i imaging the main thing i need is the gcc 3.4.2 toolchain. the doc seems to assume i have that set up already, i dont. any help on next steps is appreciated.

for example:

[root@panic packages]# oebuild do_build patcher/patcher-native_20040913.oe
ERROR: InvalidTask event exception, aborting

what am i doing wrong?

Two mistakes:

1.) Syntax is oebuild [task] <file>, whereas task is optional and one of {fetch,unpack,patch,compile,etc.} - see oebuild -h

2.) better use oemake <provider>, i.e. oemake opie-wellenreiter, which takes care about building all necessary dependencies - see oemake -h

dont mean to keep bothering folks with my little probs (if there's another list i could post this stuff to lemme know). using oemake i get:

[root@panic packages]# cd patcher
[root@panic patcher]# oemake -v patcher

OEPATH wrong. It must be <pathToBuildDirectory>:<pathToPackages>:<pathToOE>, e.g.

OEPATH=/local/pkg/build;/local/pkg/packages;/local/pkg/oe

OEPATH is like PATH, i.e. it reads the first *.conf file it finds. The oe.conf in oe is a minimal conf not suitable for building OZ and friends, which is why we need to make it pick up the oe.conf below packages.

thx. getting closer. oemake patcher gives:

maybe that's a handhelds.org thing. just tried patcher to see if it built. i really what to build the gcc cross that i would need to build a stansard zaurus app (i.e. roadmap). which "packages" would i need to compile just something like that?

At the moment I'm afraid you can't compile anything because everything needs hh.org to be up. Anoncvs is very near to operating again - probably just a matter of hours now. To see what packages (theoretically) need to be compiled to satisfy a dependency you can use oemake -nv <package>. It then lists what it would do - kind of a dry-run.

ninsei · « **Reply #7 on:** November 28, 2004, 09:05:46 am »

are there any other (mirror) sites that have the content?

Mickeyl · « **Reply #8 on:** November 28, 2004, 01:59:43 pm »

Unfortunately not atm., with hh.org being up again (hopefully) soon, we will start a mirror to prevent things like this happen in the future.

ronbus · « **Reply #9 on:** December 16, 2004, 08:00:24 pm »

Not to bring up a 2+ week old thread (well, actually I do) but, has a mirror been setup for hh.org's cvs? This is my first attempt to build OZ from OE and it's dying when attempting to checkout ipkg-utils-native-1.6cvs20041216-r3.

Thanks,

not to sound to incredibly dense, but how do I get past this bit?
bk clone bk://openembedded.bkbits.net/openembedded
bash: bk: command not found

I installes subversion.
I installed the openembedded .deb of necessary files.
However obvious this might be, I am making no headway.

lardman · « **Reply #11 on:** December 19, 2004, 05:36:25 am »

bk is bitkeeper.

You need to install bitkeeper.

Sorry to butt in, but I'm playing along here with my first attempt at compiling oz for Poodle.

I've successfully built a good portion of the distribution but it is failing with the following error:

~/bitbake/bin/bitbake opie-image
<snip>
NOTE: package ipkg-native: build started
NOTE: package ipkg-native-0.99.130-r1: task do_fetch started
NOTE: Fetch cvs://anoncvs:anoncvs@cvs.handhelds.org/cvs;module=familiar/dist/ipkg;tag=V0-99-130

ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting

ERROR: Build of opie-image failed

Should bb be trying to fetch ipkg-native from the familiar distribution? Or have I done something wrong?

Thanks for any pointers.

Hi Radioz,
you didnt anything wrong. There are a lot of people waiting for handhelds.org CVS comming back online.
Cheers,
Sam
