This should be changed to yum, i.e. $ sudo dnf install gawk make wget tar bzip2 gzip python unzip perl patch \ diffutils diffstat git cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel texinfo chrpath socat SDL-devel xterm 56531 1 joshuagloe 2015-11-17 14:35:07 +0000 Didn't actually edit the command I pasted, apologies. I used the following command to set up my system for YP: $ sudo yum install gawk make wget tar bzip2 gzip python unzip perl patch \ diffutils diffstat git cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel texinfo chrpath socat SDL-devel xterm 56534 2 srifenbark 2015-11-17 15:11:46 +0000 Benjamin, I added you to this bug as I think it was you that told me we should switch to using 'dnf' to install packages for CentOS. Right now the section in the QS is http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages. I have a note regarding CentOS 6.x users but nothing that indicates the possibility of the host machine not having dnf. Are there CentOS versions that don't have this? Scott 56562 3 joshuagloe 2015-11-17 21:07:28 +0000 Note: the perl packages in the Fedora Build Host Packages section are equally valid for CentOS. Without perl-Thread-queue installed I was unable to build automake-native. Latest suggested command for CentOS: $ sudo dnf install gawk make wget tar bzip2 gzip python unzip perl patch \ diffutils diffstat git cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel texinfo chrpath socat \ SDL-devel xterm perl-Data-Dumper perl-Text-ParseWords perl-Thread-Queue 56565 4 benjamin.esquivel 2015-11-17 23:00:02 +0000 Hi Joshua, in your last comment you posted a 'dnf' command, I assume you wanted to post a 'yum' command? Scott, indeed Centos 7 and RHEL 7 seem to have not caught the dnf replacing yum, like Fedora did, apologies for that. This is a bug effectively 56568 5 joshuagloe 2015-11-18 09:15:49 +0000 (In reply to comment #4) > Hi Joshua, in your last comment you posted a 'dnf' command, I assume you > wanted to post a 'yum' command? Yes, apologies - I made the same copy/paste error again. $ sudo yum install gawk make wget tar bzip2 gzip python unzip perl patch \ diffutils diffstat git cpp gcc gcc-c++ glibc-devel texinfo chrpath socat \ SDL-devel xterm perl-Data-Dumper perl-Text-ParseWords perl-Thread-Queue 56583 6 srifenbark 2015-11-18 14:40:49 +0000 Hi, I have a question on this change. First - I will replace 'dnf' with 'yum' for CentOS. Second - There are some extra packages that appear in Joshua's Comment 3. They are 'perl-Data-Dumper perl-Text-ParseWords perl-Thread-Queue'. If you look at the section in the ref-manual (http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#centos-packages) you will see some categories for packages. We have added an extra one for 2.0 called "Graphical and Eclipse Plug-in Extras", which have the 'SDL-devel xterm' packages. What category would the 'perl-Data-Dumper perl-Text-ParseWords perl-Thread-Queue' packages fall under? I am guessing in the "Essentials" area since that is where Fedora has them listed. Is that correct? Scott 56584 7 joshuagloe 2015-11-18 14:44:54 +0000 Hi Scott, (In reply to comment #6) > Hi, > > I have a question on this change.

Interestingly enough I was looking at the quick start and hadn't noticed this section of the reference manual - as there is similar information in two places it would be good if it could be unified (and ideally only edited in a single place). 56587 8 srifenbark 2015-11-18 15:21:02 +0000 Joshua, I think I have these sections in the manuals synced up now. Both Fedora and CentOS are very similar. I am now using 'yum' in the CentOS section. While working on this I noticed a slight inconsistency in the Fedora section. I had the 'perl-Thread-Queue' package listed in both the Essentials and the Graphical and Eclipse Plug-in Extras section. I assumed that it should go in the Essentials sub-section only so I got rid of the redundant entry in the other section for Fedora. Please look over the following sections and let me know if this is all okay: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages - for the QS http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#centos-packages - For the ref-manual. Here is the section for the slight change for Fedora in the ref-manual - http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.0/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#fedora-packages Thanks 56588 9 joshuagloe 2015-11-18 15:43:12 +0000 Hi Scott, These changes look good to me. Thanks, Joshua 56593 10 srifenbark 2015-11-18 16:18:42 +0000 The additions have been reviewed and approved by Joshua. I have marked the doc flag to "done" and set the status to RESOLVED/FIXED. Thanks
