Hmmm. With bitbake from poky-1.2-denzil I get: "Nothing to do. Use 'bitbake world' to build everything, or run 'bitbake --help' for usage information." I think that "bitbake <nothing>" is not really a valid invocation. I've changed the page accordingly. > i then tried: > > $ bitbake -u knotty2 > FATAL: Invalid user interface 'knotty2' specified. > Valid interfaces: depexp, goggle, ncurses, hob, knotty [default]. > $ It looks like knotty2 was an experimental interface, with features now folded into knotty in poky-1.3-danny.

I've altered the page to hopefully address the issues. Maybe I should mention that I'm using the bitbake from the yocto project? I didn't think they were diverged very far. -- Tim ============================= Tim Bird Architecture Group Chair, CE Workgroup of the Linux Foundation Senior Staff Engineer, Sony Network Entertainment ============================= _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
