Created attachment 4456 [details] temporary fix Got the following error when building parted-native: ERROR: parted-native-3.2-r1 do_install: oe_runmake failed ERROR: parted-native-3.2-r1 do_install: Function failed: do_install (log file is located at /home/vagrant/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/parted-native/3.2-r1/temp/log.do_install.24234) ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/vagrant/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/parted-native/3.2-r1/temp/log.do_install.24234 Log data follows: | DEBUG: Executing shell function do_install | NOTE: make -j 4 DESTDIR=/home/vagrant/build/tmp/work/x86_64-linux/parted-native/3.2-r1/image install | GNUmakefile:43: /maint.mk: No such file or directory | make: *** No rule to make target '/maint.mk'.

Summary: There were 2 ERROR messages shown, returning a non-zero exit code. I temporarily fixed the build issue with the attached patch. It looks like the Makefile provided in the layer was generated by running the configure script in the source directory (and not in the build directory). The Makefile should probably be regenerated for version 3.2 (since it mentions 3.1)... I tested my patch with parted and parted-native and both built fine. Note: I'm using poky on the thud layer rev:faeb366bc3eb322f5f203cfe08dc4cf529a822e9
recipes-extended/parted/files/Makefile is only used in do_install_ptest and is copied into $D directly, so I doubt that's actually the fix and this probably actually breaks the test suite on target. I suspect what happened is that you added a new patch and it forced a rebuild, which then worked. If you can replicate this failure after removing this change please re-open, but your patch literally cannot solve a build-time issue.
You're right. I did a: bitbake -c cleansstate parted parted-native && bitbake parted parted-native and it worked. My mistake!
