Hi Guys, answering my own question...
It is sufficient to add "x11" to the DISTRO_FEATURES variable in the machine configuation file ( .../machine/socfpga_cyclone5.conf ). Simple, really! -- jim ________________________________________ From: yocto-boun...@yoctoproject.org [yocto-boun...@yoctoproject.org] on behalf of Spriggs, Jim [j.spri...@raylase.de] Sent: 21 November 2014 14:14 To: yocto@yoctoproject.org Subject: [yocto] Newbie confusion: trying to use meta-mono on poky-socfpga (Arrow SoCKit) Hi Guys, [ yes, I've also posted this question on rocketboards list] My goal is to run "console" .NET apps via Mono on the Arrow SoCKit with poky-socfpga v14.0 My first steps were: 1) Add the meta-mono layer to bblayers.conf 2) Put "IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " mono"" in local.conf 3) Execute "bitbake altera-gsrd-image "... ----------------------------------------------------------------- Build Configuration: BB_VERSION = "1.16.0" TARGET_ARCH = "arm" TARGET_OS = "linux-gnueabi" MACHINE = "socfpga_cyclone5" DISTRO = "poky" DISTRO_VERSION = "1.3" TUNE_FEATURES = "armv7a vfp neon callconvention-hard cortexa9" TARGET_FPU = "vfp-neon" meta meta-yocto meta-yocto-bsp meta-altera meta-linaro = "acds14.0:83a01c4b2da664648d8ca0425ba6b98ff9a5b7ca" meta-mono = "master:802138721cc72e5f4fb9853b0552a117e677536e" NOTE: Resolving any missing task queue dependencies ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'libxft' (but /home/jim/Projects/poky-socfpga/meta-mono/recipes-mono/libgdiplus/libgdiplus_2.10.8.bb DEPENDS on or otherwise requires it) ERROR: libxft was skipped: 'x11' not in DISTRO_FEATURES NOTE: Runtime target 'mono' is unbuildable, removing... Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['mono', 'libgdiplus', 'libxft'] ERROR: Required build target 'altera-gsrd-image' has no buildable providers. Missing or unbuildable dependency chain was: ['altera-gsrd-image', 'mono', 'libgdiplus', 'libxft'] ----------------------------------------------------------------- Obviously, "x11 not in DISTRO_FEATURES" is a clue, but as a Newbie, I'm not exactly sure what it's telling me. After spending several hours trawling through the the other layers and recipes in poky-socfpga, I'm coming to the conclusion that the lack of x11 is somehow due to the machine configuration. Would someone be kind enough confirm or deny my conclusion, and perhaps point me in the right direction, if there is one?
