Hi, I'm having other Yocto problems using the stock Ubuntu x86_64 toolchain, so decided to install one using the instructions in section 2.1.2 (Using a Cross-Toolchain Tarball) of the "Yocto Project Application Developer's Guide".
These are the commands I used: $ wget http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4/toolchain/x86_64/poky-eglibc-x86_64-x86_64-toolchain-gmae-1.4.sh $ sudo sh poky-eglibc-x86_64-x86_64-toolchain-gmae-1.4.sh and installed at the default (/opt/poky/1.4) Now, I go through the usual steps: ======== ben@ubuntu-scw:~$ cd /opt/poky ben@ubuntu-scw:/opt/poky$ . oe-init-build-env ../scw-appscard-build/ ### Shell environment set up for builds. ### You can now run 'bitbake <target>' Common targets are: core-image-minimal core-image-sato meta-toolchain meta-toolchain-sdk adt-installer meta-ide-support You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86' ======== At this point, I guess I need to source the SDK environment file so poky knows where the toolchain is? ======== ben@ubuntu-scw:/opt/scw-appscard-build$ . /opt/poky/1.4/environment-setup-x86_64-poky-linux ======== Then I try to build something ======== ben@ubuntu-scw:/opt/scw-appscard-build$ MACHINE=scw-appscard bitbake kvm-image-minimal Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named distutils.version Traceback (most recent call last): File "/opt/poky/bitbake/bin/bitbake", line 34, in <module> import bb File "/opt/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/__init__.py", line 75, in <module> import bb.msg File "/opt/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/msg.py", line 32, in <module> import bb.event File "/opt/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/event.py", line 34, in <module> import bb.utils File "/opt/poky/bitbake/lib/bb/utils.py", line 22, in <module> import re, fcntl, os, string, stat, shutil, time ImportError: No module named fcntl ======== So it looks like the Python included with the SDK is crippled or mis-configured: ======== ben@ubuntu-scw:/opt/scw-appscard-build$ which python /opt/poky/1.4/sysroots/x86_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/bin/python ben@ubuntu-scw:/opt/scw-appscard-build$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Apr 19 2013, 00:50:43) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import fcntl Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named fcntl >>> ======== Without sourcing the SDK environment file: ======== ben@ubuntu-scw:~$ which python /usr/bin/python ben@ubuntu-scw:~$ python Python 2.7.3 (default, Sep 26 2012, 21:51:14) [GCC 4.7.2] on linux2 Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> import fcntl >>> ======== Am I following the playbook correctly? Does this Python need an explicit PYTHONPATH or something like that? Note that I'm using poky at the 'Dylan 9.0' tag and have Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 on the host. thanks, Ben _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
