I suspect that we either need to remove the bash dependency (bash scripts) or add bash as a known runtime dependency of eglibc. It might be easiest to audit the bash scripts in eglibc-utils and convert them to work with standard posix shell. Note, I believe some of this work has been done upstream. 28150 1 laurentiu.palcu 2012-12-11 15:27:30 +0000 I tested this with the latest master (52a9ae643f8a0c7856681cfb9c6c0521ace253fd) and the toolchain tarball is created as expected. You can reopen it if you provide a method to reproduce it. I was unable to... 28151 2 mark.hatle 2012-12-11 15:41:40 +0000 The eglibc-utils package includes /usr/bin/tzselect. This script requires 'bash' at runtime, but there is no RDEPENDS_${PN}-utils in the recipe. So for a completely fresh build: bitbake -c populate_sdk core-image-minimal You will get a failure, because nothing else in the system requires bash. To fix the problem the bash-isms in eglibc should be removed, or an explicit dependency on bash should be declared. (The former is a better solution.) 28152 3 mark.hatle 2012-12-11 15:54:09 +0000 Possible solution: http://www.eglibc.org/archives/patches/msg00671.html 28153 4 laurentiu.palcu 2012-12-11 15:57:30 +0000 I just did a completely fresh bitbake -c populate_sdk core-image-minimal and the build finished successfully. No tmp/ no sstate-cache/. Just the downloads/ directory. 28154 5 laurentiu.palcu 2012-12-11 16:06:07 +0000 Also, it would be very helpful if you provided the commit you used to reproduce it, MACHINE, SDKMACHINE and what other steps other than running "bitbake -c populate_sdk core-image-minimal" you ran. 28172 6 bluelightning 2012-12-12 08:35:31 +0000 FYI I'm testing a reworked version of the patch linked above. 28187 7 bluelightning 2012-12-12 14:16:19 +0000 Patch has been sent for review. 28290 8 bluelightning 2012-12-14 11:03:14 +0000 Fix merged in the following commit: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=2f85e62b896ef71e616b5645360cb6750fe4514e (The easiest way to reproduce the original issue would be to add eglibc-utils to core-image-minimal before this change.)
