Description BobDog555 2015-02-18 17:11:48 UTC 
Running bitbake xen-image-minimal, it runs almost all the steps until this error shows up:

DEBUG: SITE files ['endian-little', 'common-linux', 'common-glibc', 'bit-64', 'x86_64-linux', 'common']; DEBUG: Executing shell function do_compile; NOTE: make -j 24 ; make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop. ; ERROR: oe_runmake failed ; WARNING: exit code 1 from a shell command. ; ERROR: Function failed: do_compile ; ERROR: oe_runmake failed.

As you can see, the do_compile eventually is asked to "make -j 24" which means no target is supplied somewhere in the deep chain of inheritances.

Does ANYONE have a clue or a fix for this????   For my group this is important.

The meta-virtualization layer supported more directly by the mailing list than via bugzilla, you will get more visibility if you can ask your question directly there.

Please subscribe to meta-virtualization@yoctoproject.org via this page:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/meta-virtualization

Then ask your question on that list, you will likely get an answer there.
