Can you try to apply this patch: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.handhelds.openembedded.scm/66625 It was discovered after 1.5 shipped and will be included in a 1.5.1. You can also try to use the Dora git branch which has this patch included in it. Hi Saul, Thank you for the suggestion. Today I was about to try the patch you suggested, but then Khem Raj made another suggestion on the yocto mailing list. He noticed that on Ubuntu and Debian systems, it is necessary to install the gcc-multilib package, in order to get syslinux to build. sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib So I tried it, and was able to build syslinux and thus core-image-minimal successfully on my Kubuntu 13.10 machine. It would be helpful to update the Ubuntu/Debian section in the Yocto Quick Start guide (https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html) with this new information. Because I'm now able to build images, I think I'll hold off on applying your suggested patch manually, and wait for the next official Yocto version. Thanks for all your work on Yocto. Best regards, Markus As you have a fix, I am going to reduce the Priority of this bug for now and assign it to our Doc Writer, he can update the Quickstart Guide, I missed that email. Scott, let me know if you have any questions. Hi,
So it appears we need to install a package as follows on Ubuntu and Debian systems as an essential host package:
sudo apt-get install gcc-multilib
I will update the sections in both the Quick Start and the reference manual where we maintain these requirements.
Scott
Hi, See the following: http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5.1/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5.1/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#required-packages-for-the-host-development-system http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/yocto-project-qs/yocto-project-qs.html#packages http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.6/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#required-packages-for-the-host-development-system Scott Hi Scott, I see that the gcc-multilib package is now in the list of essential packages. That should do it. I would say this bug can be marked resolved. Thanks very much, your time & effort are much appreciated! Best regards, Markus Thanks Markus for finding and reporting it. I am marking RESOLVED. Scott Thanks Scott. Khem Raj (on the yocto mailing list) deserves credit for finding the fix. Best wishes, Markus |
