Dear all, I am currently trying to cross compile freevo ( http://freevo.sourceforge.net/) but it is not really working so well. And that is basically because I do not know so well how to make a bitbake recipe for a python program, which also contains some C code.
I started to make a recipe for kaa. (The base frame work for freevo) and there I noticed the following error during the bitbake process:* NOTE: package kaa-1.0.0-r0: task do_populate_sysroot: Started arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-objcopy:/home/hansan/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2008_1/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kaa-1.0.0-r0/package/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kaa/metadata/disc/_cdrom.so: File format not recognized * and * ERROR: runstrip: ''arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-strip' --remove-section=.comment --remove-section=.note --strip-unneeded '/home/hansan/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2008_1/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kaa-1.0.0-r0/package/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/kaa/metadata/disc/_cdrom.so'' strip command failed *(Above is only the example for one file, but it happens on more files.) and if I check the files by using the bitbake -c devshell -b * ~/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/local/recipes/kaa/kaa_1.0.0.bb * Then are they not compiled for the target but for the host:* ~/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_2008_1/work/armv7a-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/kaa-1.0.0-r0/kaa/metadata/build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.6/kaa/metadata/disc$ file _cdrom.so _cdrom.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped * It does not matter if I do : *hansan@hansan-desktop:~/Beagleboard/setup-scripts$ MACHINE=beagleboard ./oebb.sh bitbake -b ~/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/local/recipes/kaa/ kaa_1.0.0.bb or I do the recommended method by first sourcing .oe/environment-2008* and then call bitbake *bitbake -b ~/Beagleboard/setup-scripts/local/recipes/kaa/ kaa_1.0.0.bb *I think that the key problem is that I do not understand how to make a bitbake recipe. This is what I have: DESCRIPTION = "Kaa is a support part for the freevo package" HOMEPAGE = "http://freevo.sourceforge.net/"; SECTION = "media" PRIORITY = "optional" LICENSE = "LGPL" PR = "r0" DEPENDS="imlib2 python-pyxml python-numeric beautifulsoup" SRC_URI= "file:///home/hansan/freevo_src/kaa" S = "${WORKDIR}/kaa" inherit distutils Are there pointers on how to make a good working bitbake recipe? I was able to learn and copy from the other recipes but I do not understand the function of the variables: a good tutorial would be very helpful.... Many thanks in advance!
