Quick hack for compiling old and outdated YOCTO Jethro for Renesas iwg20m

Hello,

I have to do some job on the Renesas iwg20m platform. From this site:
https://elinux.org/RZ-G/Boards/Yocto_2.0

I found some explanation how to do YOCTO build, which I a bit modified
(conf/local.conf).

It does download all the packages, but it fails here (in *RED*):

[vuser@localhost conf]$ bitbake core-image-minimal

My question is: does anybody know quick hack how to fix this error? Seems,
that it fails while generating doc files... How I can disable doc
generation for this, maybe some generic way for any package?

Thank you,
Zoran

The first, simplest and most obvious would be to try and build with a
supported distro. Just fire up some generic debian/ubuntu docker and see
what happens.

This is your biggest warning and source of problems.  If you have to
work with an old version of Yocto, you need to setup a
VM/chroot/whatever of a supported at that time host distribution.

Jozef was right, and you were iron right, just straight to the middle.
So I decided to listen to your advice, and to build aside VBox VM
environment. I have chosen Fedora 23 server, built the VBox VM with
Fedora 23, and the initial issue disappeared.

But another issue appeared. It is somehow described very well here,
and many people at the same time had this problem:
https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2015-February/023624.html

I then continued to search, and found the following:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37475222/ncurses-6-0-compilation-error-error-expected-before-int

I did this: export CPPFLAGS="-P", but this did not help. Then I
advanced gcc to F25 package (6.4.1), it did not help either. Advancing
to Fedora 26 (7.3) revamped/resurfaced the original problem, so I did
regress gcc back to Fedora 24 version (6.3.1).

What could be the problem here?

Thank you,
Zoran
