Hi,

I'm sorry if this is the wrong list to direct this question, but I'm having
a hard time getting bitbake/openembedded building anything.

Right now, "bitbake nano" fails with the error "ERROR: Unable to parse
/home/ol/openem/openembedded/recipes/wmiconfig/wmiconfig_svn.bb " and then
gives some more details that are at the end of this message.

What branch of bitbake and openembedded should I be on? I've been trying
this all day and I can find several sets of mutually contradictory
instructions, is there an authoritative one?



Thanks,


Oren

I'd suggest using master from openembedded-core
(http://git.openembedded.org/openembedded-core/) with bitbake master
(http://git.openembedded.org/bitbake/).
