I just installed several virtual machines and have gone through the quick start guide on each.
Fedora 15, 32 bit OpenSUSE 11.4, 64 bit Ubuntu 11.10, 32 bit A few thoughts: 1) The breakup of "debian" and "rpm-based" installation commands doesn't really work - especially since there are two rpm-based commands, one for yum and one for zypper. We would be better off just saying: Install the prerequisites: Ubuntu: aptitude install... Fedora: yum groupinstal ... OpenSUSE: zypper install ... I think it would be clearer. I was a bit confused by having both Fedora and SUSE under RPM, with two commands for Fedora and one for SUSE. 2) OpenSUSE triggered the sanity checker and complains about "." being in the path. 3) OpenSUSE triggered complaints about missing packages as well. The required additional packages to build core-image-sato for qemux86 are: make freeglut-devel libSDL-devel 4) Ubuntu triggered the dash sanity checker. While there is a bug open against this and I expect it to be fixed for 1.2, we should update our documentation so that the Ubuntu users can use the quickstart guide without getting errors from the build commands. Ubuntu users should ensure they are running the bash shell (dash will be supported in the 1.2 release): # sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash Select "No" Other bugs I need to open: * OpenSUSE listed the path error and missing make on the same line, with no punctuation to separate the errors. * Sanity checker lists ubuntu package names on OpenSuse, we should get these right for Fedora, Ubuntu, and OpenSuse. It also lists them with commas, so you can't copy and paste into a zypper command to install. -- Darren Hart Intel Open Source Technology Center Yocto Project - Linux Kernel _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
