ERROR: Unable to find any recipe file matching "mc:arm:bash" $devtool modify multiconfig:arm:bash this works as expected If then I try to run: devtool build multiconfig:arm:bash NOTE: Starting bitbake server... ERROR: No recipe named 'multiconfig:arm:bash' in your workspace So I run: devtool build bash But that builds for x86 instead of for arm... The attached patch helps a bit, but it is just a horrible hack that should not be merged ;) 89010 1 tomasz.dziendzielski 2021-01-24 15:07:58 +0000 I'm afraid full support of multiconfig in devtool would require rewriting major part of devtool. Multiconfig allows you to run multiple machines with $ bitbake mc:qemux86:bash mc:qemuarm:bash or $ bitbake mc:*:bash while devtool allows to run only one target at a time. 89015 2 randy.macleod 2021-01-25 14:16:02 +0000 Based on the comment by Tomasz, I've changed this issue to an enhancement for some time in the future. I'm not convinced that we'd ever work on it but who knows what the future holds! 96811 3 randy.macleod 2023-10-24 14:24:22 +0000 Bulk move from 4.99 or 0.00 to 5.99 107221 4 Anusmita.DuttaMazumder 2026-10-28 09:50:16 +0000 I have submitted a five-patch series addressing multiconfig support in devtool: https://lists.openembedded.org/g/openembedded-core/message/248498 The submitted implementation still keys workspace entries by bare PN, so the same recipe cannot be modified independently in multiple configurations simultaneously. Review has raised the need to agree on a common workspace design covering multiconfig, native, nativesdk and multilib variants. The discussion includes using one bbappend per recipe file, with settings scoped per variant and compatible variants sharing a source tree. The series is under review; the workspace design discussion remains ongoing. 4690 2020-06-08 08:48:29 +0000 2020-06-08 08:48:29 +0000 multiconfig patch multiconfig.patch text/plain 752 ricardo.ribalda ZGlmZiAtLWdpdCBhL3NjcmlwdHMvbGliL2RldnRvb2wvX19pbml0X18ucHkgYi9zY3JpcHRzL2xp Yi9kZXZ0b29sL19faW5pdF9fLnB5CmluZGV4IDZlYmUzNjhhOWUuLjUxYzUwZTcwNzYgMTAwNjQ0 Ci0tLSBhL3NjcmlwdHMvbGliL2RldnRvb2wvX19pbml0X18ucHkKKysrIGIvc2NyaXB0cy9saWIv ZGV2dG9vbC9fX2luaXRfXy5weQpAQCAtMTE5LDYgKzExOSw5IEBAIGRlZiBzZXR1cF90aW5mb2ls KGNvbmZpZ19vbmx5PUZhbHNlLCBiYXNlcGF0aD1Ob25lLCB0cmFja2luZz1GYWxzZSk6CiAKIGRl ZiBwYXJzZV9yZWNpcGUoY29uZmlnLCB0aW5mb2lsLCBwbiwgYXBwZW5kcywgZmlsdGVyX3dvcmtz cGFjZT1UcnVlKToKICAgICAiIiJQYXJzZSB0aGUgc3BlY2lmaWVkIHJlY2lwZSIiIgorCisgICAg cG4gPSBwbi5zcGxpdCgiOiIpWy0xXQorCiAgICAgdHJ5OgogICAgICAgICByZWNpcGVmaWxlID0g dGluZm9pbC5nZXRfcmVjaXBlX2ZpbGUocG4pCiAgICAgZXhjZXB0IGJiLnByb3ZpZGVycy5Ob1By b3ZpZGVyIGFzIGU6CkBAIC0xNDUsNiArMTQ4LDggQEAgZGVmIGNoZWNrX3dvcmtzcGFjZV9yZWNp cGUod29ya3NwYWNlLCBwbiwgY2hlY2tzcmM9VHJ1ZSwgYmJjbGFzc2V4dGVuZD1GYWxzZSk6CiAg ICAgaXMgcHJlc2VudC4KICAgICAiIiIKIAorICAgIHBuID0gcG4uc3BsaXQoIjoiKVstMV0KKwog ICAgIHdvcmtzcGFjZXBuID0gcG4KIAogICAgIGZvciByZWNpcGUsIHZhbHVlIGluIHdvcmtzcGFj ZS5pdGVtcygpOgo=
