How to setup Overo build environment on Mac OS X 10.5.5

[Crossley, Malcolm (GE EntSol, Intelligent Platforms)]

Hi Elvis,

 

Sorry about miss diagnosing the problem before. 

 

The problem is that your particular arch+os combination is not defined
in the org.openembedded.dev/classes/siteinfo.bbclass file.

 

Please undo any changes you have made for BUILD_ARCH.

 

You could try setting BUILD_OS = "linux" in the local.conf file.

 

You can check the environment variables by typing bitbake -e
PACKAGE_NAME.

 

Setting the BUILD_OS to linux make break some autoconf settings and
although native packages may build, they may not work on your Darwin
based system.

 

Basically OpenEmbedded isn't fully supported on Darwin based host
systems at the moment.

 

Again, I hope that helps

 

Malcolm

Hi Malcom,

                       I did as you instructed and created the following
entry in conf/bitbake.conf

 

BUILD_ARCH ="i386"

 

I still get the same set of errors and the target defaults to
i386-darwin

 

Additionally, I tried making adding the same entry to In my
overo-oe/build/conf/site.conf file, but still no change.

 

In the overo-oe/build/conf/ directory I have 3 files

 

auto.conf

local.conf

site.conf

 

What should I try next?

 

Best regards,

 

Elvis

Hi,

 

You need to set the variable - BUILD_ARCH.

This variable is defined in <OE_INSTALL>/conf/bitbake.conf.

 

I hope that helps
