post your config.log stuff somewhere may be a link to your build on
tinderbox

Here is the config.log :

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

------------

I looked at the log.do_configure file and the invocation for the
configure is:

NOTE: make -f client.mk CONFIGURE_ARGS= --build=x86_64-linux
--host=x86_64-linux
 --target=i686-linux  configure

It looked strange to me that the 'build' and 'host' are the same. The
recipe for minimo_cvs has the line:

EXTRA_OECONF += "--build=${BUILD_SYS} --host=${BUILD_SYS}
--target=${TARGET_SYS} "

And uses EXTRA_OECONF when invoking oe_runmake. It seems to me that
'--host' should specify ${HOST_SYS} and if I make that edit, it does
successfully build.


For my education, what are 'build', 'host' and 'target' referring to in
this case?

-	'target' should be the target that is being built for
-	'build' should be the machine that is doing the building
-	'host' not sure?
