Say I propose that bitbake should be reined in a bit and not allowed to compile a sub-distro on the host. What kind of breakage can we expect with that imagined change? | i just wanted to take this chance to make oe work on your host so i | don't have to reply on this topic again. obviously i failed. | personally i won't use debian unstable as om buildhost. by the same | reason i won't choose to use oe on fedora experimental. I appreciate the work you put in, I couldn't've gotten started with it without your step-by-step and studying the wreckage. But about the current "sub-distro on host" strategy of OE/OM: it just moves the host dependencies to the native host compiler. That's why OE/OM is really sensitive to the host distro. (And I note again, Fedora development compiler succeeds to build these packages like DBUS for fedora packages! It doesn't seem the compiler is broken.) | what you need is just development so of course you can use any tool | you like on any distro you want, as long as you get the correct | result. namely a dm2 software linked against glib, gtk, xft and | tslib. that's not so hard with a toolchain and all the -dev packages | on buildhost. I agree, that's what I see here too, I have to try to make a pile of - -dev guts by hand and fight pkgconfig. Or I can recompile the libs one by one and static-link against my forks of them. These are things the build system should take care of. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgLAOAACgkQOjLpvpq7dMqrsACgh0mhBUcdkcK6PFUOMcI23VjK p74An3uQJbBYQnBugNQ92QGm1kvLuS4H =iEgf -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
