Comment 1 Stoicescu Cornel 2013-06-27 11:22:53 UTC
This is a bitbake error:

1) 'bitbake man'

Notice error:

cornel@NODE1:~/SSD/poky/build$ bitbake man
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:

    Error, you have an invalid character (@) in your COREBASE directory path. Please move the installation to a directory which doesn't include any @ characters.
