[oe] SIP recipe can't find Qt4 package in x86 build

[Rodney Lott]

Hello.

I am new to OE and I couldn't find anything in the devel mailing list archives for Feb and March, so I wanted to ask about the following issue.

I am configured as follows:

OE Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.8.13"
METADATA_BRANCH   = "<unknown>"
METADATA_REVISION = "<unknown>"
TARGET_ARCH       = "i486"
TARGET_OS         = "linux"
MACHINE           = "x86"
DISTRO            = "minimal"
DISTRO_VERSION    = ".dev-snapshot-20090313"
TARGET_FPU        = ""

I am using the following git revision:

commit 12b093a681c4e011062538e4f2c582630997855f
Author: Bernhard Guillon <Bernhard.Guillon at opensimpad.org>
Date:   Sun Feb 8 16:42:47 2009 +0100

I am not using the latest because this was what I started with and I don't want to pull the latest yet unless it is necessary.

Here's the problem I am having.  I have an image recipe that basically contains the following:

require packages/images/minimal-image.bb

IMAGE_INSTALL += "cron"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "ntp"

export IMAGE_BASENAME = "cp2210e"

If I build with this, everything is peachy and I get my minimalist image with ntp and cron installed.  I then add more IMAGE_INSTALL lines after the ntp line:

IMAGE_INSTALL += "python"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "python-twisted"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "python-pyqt"

The build goes on fine for a while and it stops at this:

The qmake spec file is located in /home/rlott/src/oe.cp2210e/tmp/cross/i486/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-oe-g++/qmake.conf, not the i686 version of this.  So, it appears that either qt4-x11-free is not putting its stuff in the properly staging location or that sip-native isn't resolving the correct version of Qt4 to use.  

So, my question is how do I in my local.conf (or somewhere in my local collection space) tell it to use i486 or i686 and thus have the paths consistent?

Thanks.
