Bitbake issues the following warning: ERROR: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration. 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 set a MACHINE in your local.conf or environment Your version of local.conf was generated from an older version of local.conf.sample and there have been updates made to this file. Please compare the two files and merge any changes before continuing. Matching the version numbers will remove this message. "meld conf/local.conf conf/local.conf.sample" is a good way to visualise the changes. ERROR: Execution of event handler 'check_sanity_eventhandler' failed It would be nicer if it said: "ERROR: bitbake must be run from the root buildir: /build/poky/fri2" I believe this should be a relatively easy thing to test for prior to the sanity checker discovering there isn't a MACHINE defined (b/c there is no $CWD/conf/local.conf). 18949 1 dvhart 2012-03-10 01:25:03 +0000 Taking a wild guess that this is up Paul's alley. Paul, please request a re-assignment (of the bug that is) if you disagree :-) 18950 2 dvhart 2012-03-10 01:26:06 +0000 Marking as 1.2 M4 as this seems like a fix consistent with the effort of reducing warnings and otherwise cleaning up the output. If you disagree, 1.3 is fine too. 19113 3 bluelightning 2012-03-14 23:32:38 +0000 Patch merged to master in revision 50e4d4c3123dff43bd4abecccae1f3ae13784e9b.
