Created attachment 2829 [details] do_install.log Install a 32 bit buildtools-tarball such as poky-glibc-i686-buildtools-tarball-i586-buildtools-nativesdk-standalone-xxxx.sh on a 64-bit distro. (Tested with Ubuntu 14/15 only). source the environment-setup-i686-pokysdk-linux script source the oe-init-build-env script Run bitbake command "bitbake core-image-minimal" After a while the the build breaks with multitude of permission errors: | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Chile': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Japan': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Factory': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/GMT0': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Jamaica': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Iceland': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/CET': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Egypt': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/Factory': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT0': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/Jamaica': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/Iceland': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/CET': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo/Egypt': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share/zoneinfo': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr/share': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image/usr': Operation not permitted | chown: changing ownership of '/data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/image': Operation not permitted | ERROR: Function failed: do_install (log file is located at /data/dizzy/poky/build-test-pseudo/tmp/work/all-poky-linux/tzdata/2015d-r0/temp/log.do_install.27073) ERROR: Task 1449 (/data/dizzy/poky/meta/recipes-extended/tzdata/tzdata_2015d.bb, do_install) failed with exit code '1' NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 1112 tasks of which 0 didn't need to be rerun and 1 failed.

The problem is not observed on a 32 bit host.
Please see https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8582 This bug seems to the consequence of "pseudo" not loaded.
Placing NO32LIBS = "0" in local.conf will fix the problem. This will result in building 32 bit libpseudo.so on 64 bit hosts, see meta/recipes-devtools/pseudo/pseudo.inc.
The problem is that "pseudo" does not build 32 bit library by default on 64 bit host, it should build it 32 bit library when using 32 bit development tools (buildtools-tarball) running on 64 bit host. This condition is not easy to detect. However, "pseudo" recipe honours the environment variable NO32LIBS. So one clean solution would be modify the "environment-setup-i686-pokysdk-linux" for buildtools-tarball to also contain (iff the SDKMACHINE=i686): export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="NO32LIBS $BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE" export NO32LIBS="0" This would work for the initialization sequence in this order: $ source the oe-init-build-env script $ source the environment-setup-i686-pokysdk-linux $ bitbake core-image-minimal If we insist on supporting any order, i.e. this order as well: $ source the environment-setup-i686-pokysdk-linux $ source the oe-init-build-env script $ bitbake core-image-minimal we need to modify the poky/scripts/oe-buildenv-internal to preserve any existing BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE values: export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="MACHINE DISTRO TCMODE TCLIBC <...> $BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE" Alternatively, we could add explicitly NO32LIBS: export BB_ENV_EXTRAWHITE="MACHINE DISTRO TCMODE TCLIBC <...> NO32LIBS"
