I have two development servers, one running an older version of Fedora (x86 *), the other runs a recent Ubuntu (x86_64). Both are the same CPU core (Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz)
I've just tried building the same target, using the same version of Poky/Yocto, sharing the sstate cache (fully populated) from the x86_64 machine with the x86 machine. This was done using HTTP. Sadly, there was not a single file found in the cache that could be used. Should this not be expected to work? Does sstate cache only work across like systems (32 vs 64 bit hosts)? Also, Mark Hatle mentioned a few days ago that there are ways to "lock" versions of the sstate cache. I still haven't found any info/documentation on this. Can someone please explain more? Thanks (*) I can't update my x86 machine to a more recent (x86_64) distribution as I have many older "projects" that only run on that hardware and no time/opportunity to upgrade, hence my desire to share in this manner. -- ------------------------------------------------------------ Gary Thomas | Consulting for the MLB Associates | Embedded world ------------------------------------------------------------ -- _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
