Using OpenEmbedded on FreeBSD and other NON Linux Systems

Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon (7.10)

In addition to the usual, you'll need to install the following packages to get bitbake to run:

  • sqlite3
  • libsqlite3-0
  • python-pysqlite2
  • libsqlite3-dev

The last item was a mystery to me, and resolved the ERROR: Importing sqlite3 and pysqlite2 failed message issued by bitbake when a python script tried to import sqlite3.

You will also need the following packages for oe:

  • help2man
  • diffstat
  • texi2html
