Hi All, I am new to open embedded build.. I followed the steps which is given in http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Getting_started $ mkdir -p /home/soumya/project/oe/build/conf $ cd /home/soumya/project/oe/ Getting the working bitbake wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz To obtain openembedded install git $ git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git updating OpenEmbedded using git pull Create local configuration file $ cd /home/soumya/project/oe/ $ cp openembedded/conf/local.conf.sample build/conf/local.conf $ vi build/conf/local.conf i edited in local.conf BBFILES = "/home/soumya/project/oe/openembedded/recipes/*/*.bb" DISTRO = "avn01" MACHINE = "au1300" I created new distribution and machine as shown below /*****************au1300.conf*************************/ #

Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf). Following is the list of potential problems / advisories: Please install following missing utilities: help2man,texi2html Error, TMPDIR has changed ABI (4 to 2) and you need to either rebuild, revert or adjust it at your own risk. Error, DISTRO_PR has changed (.5 to ) which means all packages need to rebuild. Please remove your TMPDIR so this can happen. For autobuilder setups you can avoid this by using a TMPDIR that include DISTRO_PR in the path. Anybody can help me out to resolve this error.. If I am doing anything wrong in by build please suggest me. Thanks in advance :-) Regards, Soumya -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-start-with-OpenEmbedded-for-MiPS32-Au1300-tp28593348p28593348.html Sent from the linux-mips main mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
