Hullo I'm new to yocto, so I'm probably not going about this in the optimum way.
I'm trying to add package management to a yocto build. My preference would be yum/rpm on a rh/centos/fedora distro (as that's the distro used elsewhere), but I don't think that's feasible. I've added: [code] IMAGE_FEATURES += "package-management" IMAGE_INSTALL_append += " apt perl" [/code] to the bottom of …conf/local.conf (I started without the perl, which I added to fix this specific issue). However, when I run [code] bitbake core-image-minimal [/code] I get the following error [code] [tim@mercury mybuilds]$ less /opt/poky/mybuilds/tmp/work/qemuarm-poky-linux-gnueabi/core-image-minimal-1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.18707 DEBUG: Executing shell function do_rootfs Generating solve db for /opt/poky/mybuilds/tmp/deploy/rpm/qemuarm...

However, the file *is* present: [code] [tim@mercury mybuilds]$ ll /opt/poky/mybuilds/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/perl-native/perl -rwxr-xr-x 1 tim tim 244 Dec 10 11:04 /opt/poky/mybuilds/tmp/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/perl-native/perl [/code] … and since it's a couple of days old, I can see that adding perl after apt to IMAGE_INSTALL_append is pointless. Have I missed something obvious? Is this a real issue? Should I add a package manager some other way in any case? thanks Tim _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
