Hi Tom,
So the wic command I am using that fails, I believe is a different issue. I
actually tested this and it works with the "poky" distro, but not with
"poky-tiny". That said, here are the two commands I am using (using poky-tiny).
Fails:
wic create mkefidisk -e core-image-minimal
Checking basic build environment...
Done.
Creating image(s)...
Error: Couldn't find HDDDIR, exiting
Succeeds:
wic create mkefidisk -r
./tmp/work/foo-layer-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/ -b
./tmp/sysroots/foo-layer/usr/share/ -k ./tmp/sysroots/foo-layer/usr/src/kernel/
-n ./tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/ -o ../foo-image-out/
Creating image(s)...
Info: The new image(s) can be found here:
../foo-image-out/build/mkefidisk-201409221310-sda.direct
The following build artifacts were used to create the image(s):
ROOTFS_DIR:
./tmp/work/foo-layer-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/rootfs/
BOOTIMG_DIR: ./tmp/sysroots/foo-layer/usr/share/
KERNEL_DIR: ./tmp/sysroots/foo-layer/usr/src/kernel/
NATIVE_SYSROOT: ./tmp/sysroots/x86_64-linux/
The image(s) were created using OE kickstart file:
.../poky/scripts/lib/image/canned-wks/mkefidisk.wks
In terms of getting the undefined build errors, I believe all I had to do was
use poky-tiny and attempt to build gettext. I had the same error when I built
the image via the "hob" tool. I have since converted everything over to
command line for automation purposes, but the error remains the same.
Thanks,
Stuart

Hi,
I haven't generated a poky-tiny image with wic before, but those undefined
error messages do seem vaguely familiar to me, and I seem to remember working
around them but I can't remember the details.
Can you send me the the relevant info to try a build myself, and also the wic
command you're using (and the one that fails)?
Thanks,
Tom
