Re: [oe] Does the OS make a difference?
I figured as much but was worth asking :P I hate reinstalls, thanks as always though. Side note though I finally got my first recipe to almost work it creates an ipk and i can install to an existing image but the program doesnt run right so I messed up configuring it but I am getting closer to getting a grasp for once. Now if I can just figure out whats giving me my last couple errors on the image I want and then go back to figure out how to get the packages that wont build that i need to build from the existing recipes.

[oe] Does the OS make a difference?
The way that I understand it, OE natively compiles everything it needs for cross-compiling everything the target needs - perl, python, etc. However, I hear people using Ubuntu 10.04 say that they don't have problems building the same thing that I'm building. Is that just random happenstance or is there something about the OS that would make successful builds more likely? It would be worth it to upgrade from Ubuntu 8.10 to 10.04 if it really makes a difference... but it would take time and disrupt workflow and otherwise provide little advantage.

It still uses lot of the packages installed on build host. However, I hear people using Ubuntu 10.04 say that they don't have problems building the same thing that I'm building. could be. I don't know what your problem is. Is that just random happenstance or is there something about the OS that would make successful builds more likely?
