As far as I am aware, nobody has ever finished this work. There are numerous places (scripts primarily) that will expect GNU util-linux/coreutils (and similar) extensions. In addition, the pseudo program, used to emulate filesystem permissions and related items only partially works on MacOS. (I know it was working at one point, but Apple changed some of the system properties [preloaded library] for security reasons, and ended up making pseudo no longer work. You may want to look into this before getting too far in. Without pseudo, there is no way to perform a build/package.) Some -very- old work: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky-contrib-archive/refs/heads search for macosx (I'd love to see a native bitbake/oe-core work on MacOS X... but as far as I know the work stalled a while back due to lack of interest by people.) Most of the people I know using MacOS X for development are using virtual box (or similar) and a Linux based VM. --Mark > thanks > > > source oe-init-build-env > readlink: illegal option -- f > usage: readlink [-n] [file ...] > -bash: /scripts/oe-buildenv-internal: No such file or directory > > -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
