We should just check on startup whether this is present e.g. in sanity.bbclass, and bail out with an appropriate message if it isn't. 33045 1 bluelightning 2013-05-10 14:14:29 +0000 Merged to master: http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=fd8dcd7b88925dbb8203b0d2ec6ac62fe667676c 37741 2 ionutx.chisanovici 2013-10-08 13:21:50 +0000 Verified [ionut@ionut-fedora build]$ bitbake core-image-minimal FATAL: /dev/shm does not exist or is not writable [ionut@ionut-fedora build]$ cat /proc/mounts | grep shm tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs ro,seclabel,relatime 0 0 [ionut@ionut-fedora build]$
