You can make SkipPackage print out what recipes is getting skipped! I blew a bunch of time trying to build qemu64 minimal target before I found that you need the meta-intel layer such that grub 2 would be provided. Recipes-bsp has grub 0.97 but, it raises a SkipPackage exception if the target is not 32 bit. bitbake -DDD grub would report NoProvider: grub Yet show the grub_0.97.bb was indeed getting processed. --mark > > I'm starting to track some of these situations with the following bugs: > > http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542 > > http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127 > > http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1128 > > I can't promise to fix everything you come up with, but I'd like to > try to make a dent in some of these issues and improve the usability > of our build system. > > Thanks, > > Scott > > -- > Scott Garman > Embedded Linux Engineer - Yocto Project > Intel Open Source Technology Center > > _______________________________________________ > Openembedded-core mailing list > Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org > http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list Openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
