Hi,



Actually I am trying to run command

Bitbake -c menuconfig linux(recipe-name)



Getting error
NOTE: Executing RunQueue Tasks
ERROR: No valid terminal found, unable to open devshell
ERROR: Function failed: do_menuconfig
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/netlogic/yocto/poky/build/tmp/work/xlp8xx-poky-linux/linux/2.6.32-r1/temp/log.do_menuconfig.24937
ERROR: Task 4 (/home/netlogic/yocto/poky/meta-xlp/recipes-kernel/linux/linux.bb, do_menuconfig) failed with exit code '1'





Please suggest me the way to solve this problem.





Thanks in advance!

Rohit Jindal

Recompile the recipe everytime

[Rohit2 Jindal]

Hi ,

Please help me out I am stuck in some issue, actually I want my recipe to do compilation everytime on every run of

Bitbake linux-yocto

ie can I remove stamping or sstate-cache that it allows me to run compilation everytime on every run of bitbake linux-yocto.


I tried do_compile[nostamp] ="1" but it did not work but same thing worked for do_install[nostamp]="1"

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Rohit Jindal

I'm currently tweaking the kernel myself and using "bitbake
linux-yocto -c compile -f" each time. That's recommended by
http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/kernel-dev/kernel-dev.html as
it avoids re-doing the packaging every time you just want to check if
something compiles. You may also need to do "bitbake linux-yocto -c
compile_kernelmodules -f" to rebuild modules. It's the "-f" that
causes the task to be forced.

Is this any help? It doesn't solve exactly the question you asked but
might be what you need.

If you really want to do this, I think you'll need to mark all tasks in the 
normal flow from do_compile onwards as nostamp i.e.:

do_compile
do_compile_kernelmodules
do_kernel_link_vmlinux
do_install
do_package
do_packagedata
do_package_write
do_package_write_rpm
do_populate_sysroot
do_strip
do_deploy
do_uboot_mkimage
do_sizecheck

I have to say I don't recommend doing this. I would strongly suggest you use 
"bitbake -c compile -f linux-yocto" or "bitbake -C compile linux-yocto" (the 
latter will force compile and then automatically run all the needed tasks up 
to the default task).

Cheers,
Paul

(BTW - there's no guarantee this list is correct, I just grabbed what I 
thought looked appropriate from the -c listtasks list.)

If you just want to rerun the compilation:

do_compile[nostamp] = "1"

should do what you want, not sure why that wouldn't work.

bitbake linux-yocto -c compile -f

or 

bitbake linux-yocto -C compile -f

are also commands which might help.

Cheers,

Richard
