[oe-users] Cross Compiling for ARM

Tue Dec 18 11:32:53 UTC 2007

Hi!, I'm trying to build a kernel for the i.MX21 with the cross
compilation tools delivered by freescale. To do that, I modified the
local.conf so that the cross compilers appeared there (I send as and
attachement) and run bitbake virtual/kernel.
I get an error that I don't know how to solve... and I also send the log
in order to ask for some help.

Thanks you all, 

Nacho

#
# Be SURE to read this file in its entirety and the GettingStarted page on the
# wiki before proceeding.
#
# Once you have done that, remove the line at the end of this
# file and build away.
# 
# WARNING: lines starting with a space (' ') will result in parse failures.
# Remove '# ' from commented lines to activate them.
#
# NOTE: Do NOT use $HOME in your paths, BitBake does NOT expand ~ for you.  If you
# must have paths relative to your homedir use ${HOME} (note the {}'s there
# you MUST have them for the variable expansion to be done by BitBake).  Your
# paths should all be absolute paths (They should all start with a / after
# expansion.  Stuff like starting with ${HOME} or ${TOPDIR} is ok).

# Use this to specify where BitBake should place the downloaded sources into
DL_DIR = "/OE/sources"

# Delete the line below. Then specify which .bb files to consider for
# your build. Typically this will be something like BBFILES = "/path/to/openembedded/packages/*/*.bb"

# Los paquetes donde estar?n los archivos qyue necesito para compilar las cosas

BBFILES := "/OE/org.openembedded.dev/packages/*/*.bb"

# Use the BBMASK below to instruct BitBake to _NOT_ consider some .bb files
# This is a regulary expression, so be sure to get your parenthesis balanced.

# En principio, los considero todos....

# Uncomment this if you want to use a prebuilt toolchain. You will need to
# provide packages for toolchain and additional libraries yourself. You also
# have to set PATH in your environment to make sure BitBake finds additional binaries.
# Note: You will definitely need to say:
ASSUME_PROVIDED += "virtual/arm-linux-gcc-2.95"
# to build any of two Linux 2.4 Embedix kernels,
# i.e. openzaurus-sa-2.4.18 and openzaurus-pxa-2.4.18 - and don't forget
# to rename the binaries as instructed in the Wiki.

# Uncomment this to specify where BitBake should create its temporary files.
# Note that a full build of everything in OpenEmbedded will take GigaBytes of hard
# disk space, so make sure to free enough space. The default TMPDIR is
# <build directory>/tmp

# Lo pongo aqu?

# needed when building for a machine not known to OpenEmbedded. Better use
# the MACHINE attribute (see above)
# TARGET_ARCH = "arm"

# Use this to specify the target operating system.  The default is "linux",

# Although it no longer contain version number in the (file-)name

# explicitely select specific versions of various packages.
# Stay away from unversioned distros unless you really know what you are doing

# So far, angstrom.conf sets ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION
# to generate binary locale packages at build time using qemu-native and
# thereby guarantee i18n support on all devices. If your build breaks on 
# qemu-native consider disabling ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION (note that
# this breaks i18n on devices with less than 128MB RAM) or installing
# a working third-party qemu (e.g. provided by your distribution) and
# adding qemu-native to ASSUME_PROVIDED. Caveat emptor, since third-party
# qemus lack patches needed to work with various OE targets.
# ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "0"
# ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"

# If ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION is set to "1", you can limit locales
# generated to the list provided by GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES. This is huge
# time-savior for developmental builds. Format: list of locale.encoding pairs
# with spaces as separators.
# GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_GB.UTF-8 de_DE.UTF-8"

# Uncomment this to select a particular major kernel version if the MACHINE setting

# Uncomment these to build a package such that you can use gprof to profile it.
# NOTE: This will only work with 'linux' targets, not
