[balister@thuvia build]$ wic create ../meta-sdr/contrib/wks/sdimage-8G.wks -e gnuradio-dev-image -o images/$MACHINE Checking basic build environment... Done. Creating image(s)... Error: A native program mkdosfs required to build the image was not found (see details above). Please make sure it's installed and try again. This led me to try: bitbake mkdosfs-native Which doesn't exist. bitbake dosfstools-native Did work. Same issue for mcopy, run mtools-native. I wouldn't be so picky, but the message says to check the details above and there are none.
I am using openembedded-core, not oe-classic.
Any interest in a simple bbclass images can inherit so that these utilities get built at image time?
I'm not sure we should create some artificial images as people might not use them. I'd rather implement dependency check in wic.
Do we want wic running bitbake to fufill the dependencies? The key is making it easy to build images, without turning bitbake into skynet. I'm also thinking we could add some tasks to a wic bbclass to run wic.
(In reply to comment #3) > I'm not sure we should create some artificial images as people might not use > them. I'd rather implement dependency check in wic. Ed, the idea is to use a bbclass that an image recipe would inherit that adds DEPENDS on the bits wic needs to assemble the image. THe downside is slightly longer build time for people using the image recipe, but not wic.
Thank you for explaining your idea. That makes sense to do, but I doubt it can be accepted because of longer build time. Maintainers are really picky about buld time regressions nowadays :)
Well, it screws my build time, because I need to remember what recipes to build so I can make an image. Doing it automatically saves time.
Would it be ok if I add optional command line option to wic to bake parted-native dosfstools-native and mtools-native?
1) The error message should tell the user what recipes to build so he does not need to hunt around. 2) I still prefer a wic class. This also gives us a path for letting bitbake run wic via a task append.
Bug 7672 (In reply to comment #9) > 1) The error message should tell the user what recipes to build so he does > not need to hunt around. Completely agree. Unfortunately this is hard to implement without integrating bitbake and wic. Bug 7672 is about this integration. As soon as users will have bitbake recipies for partitioned images it would be just a matter of adding dependencies to the recipe. > 2) I still prefer a wic class. This also gives us a path for letting bitbake > run wic via a task append. wic class is too generic solution for this class from my point of view as some of wic runtime dependencies depend on the type of the image, bootloader and other image details. PS: Added dependency to bug 7672
I decided to go simple way: I put executable->recipe pairs for all tools to misc.py and made exec_native_cmd to suggest how to build them. Please, review: http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-August/108258.html
