I could locate quilt in recipe-sysroot-native and execute it but it would be much more convenient if it was in PATH. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start an OE-shell 2. run the command 'quilt' Expected behavior: quilt can be executed successfully Observed behavior: quilt cannot be found 100323 1 gavrosc 2024-11-29 20:30:39 +0000 Hi Mehmet, I tried to reproduce the behaviour you are describing. I am using ubuntu 22.04 as host machine where quilt (0.66) is already installed. So I followed the next steps in the host machine to modify helloworld recipe: -Switch to poky directory -Source oe-init-build-env -devtool modify helloworld -Switch to the ../build/workspace/sources/helloworld/oe-local-files -quilt new fix1.patch -quilt add helloworld.c -Making changes in helloworld.c -quilt refresh I didn’t notice any issue. Can you explain further how can I reproduce the issue? * Please bear with me , I am a newcomer :) Br Christos 100324 2 richard.purdie 2024-11-30 00:05:34 +0000 I think there is a bit of confusion here on my part, sorry. I was reading "Start an OE-shell" as being a devhell in recipe context. I think instead this refers to the "oe-init-build-env" command? "devtool modify" doesn't create or drop you into a subshell so it is still in the main/parent context, not any specific recipe. Tools such as quilt are installed per recipe in ${WORKDIR}/recipe-sysroot-native via dependency so they can't be available in the parent context. As such I'm not sure we can make quilt available in the original build context. Whether we could have some simple command to place the user into the recipe context could be something to explore but also a lot more of a complex project. 100325 3 mail 2024-11-30 00:44:27 +0000 Thx for looking into this Christos and thx for your comment Richard. As Richard pointed out, this originated from a misunderstanding between the two of us (which I seem to have caused by "inventing" the term OE-shell). I agree that it's not worth the hassle pursuing this further and suggest closing the ticket. Apologies again for the confusion and have a good time everyone! 100326 4 gavrosc 2024-11-30 06:57:57 +0000 hi no worries at all :) ! 100333 5 richard.purdie 2024-12-02 13:10:24 +0000 Resolving as disucssed
