[Openembedded-users] Help with Errors during bbfiles parse.

[Taufiqul Kazi]

I used OE a few years ago to build an image for the compulab cm-x270 
(many thanks to cbrake) and was looking to try out the latest release.  
To familiarize myself with the changes I wanted to create a build 
environment from scratch.  I created an Ubuntu 10.10 VM in vmware player 
and followed the "getting started" wiki page to download bitbake and 
clone the latest git tree.  I used the sample local.conf and set the 
distro to angstrom2010 and machine to ion.

After setting my environment variables I ran "bitbake base-files" and 
hit a ton of errors, many of which referred to EOL issues in parsing of 
string literals and some class inheritance problems.  Some examples are 
shown below.  Anyone encounter this before and know whats wrong with my 
host?

Thanks,
Fique
