After three weeks, I've finally figured out why my PERL based programs (Amanda in particular) don't run on my Poky/Yocto system.
I have my own distribution, derived from Poky, with some minor tweaks. In particular, I have some reduced DISTRO_FEATURES(*). One of them that I had removed, 'largefile', was the root cause of my PERL problems. It turns out that PERL is the only package that cares about this DISTRO_FEATURE and it builds incorrectly if it's left out :-( Adding this feature back into my settings made PERL build properly and now Amanda runs as well. My point/query is that if this setting is only used by PERL *and* leaving it out breaks things anyway, shouldn't it just be removed and the PERL recipes changed to assume that it was set? * Note: I made these changes years ago, when I was new to OE/Poky and still quite naive, and I don't recall why I removed 'largefile'. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
