devtool and multiconfig: Bug or feature?

devtool and multiconfig: Bug or feature?

[Ricardo Ribalda]

Hi

I am trying to use devtool in combination with multiconfig for the
first time, so probably I am doing something wrong.

I have created a very simple multiconfig

cat build/conf/multiconfig/arm.conf
MACHINE = "qemuarm"

And then I want to modify bash:
devtool modify multiconfig:arm:bash

If then I try to run:
devtool build multiconfig:arm:bash
NOTE: Starting bitbake server...
ERROR: No recipe named 'multiconfig:arm:bash' in your workspace

So I run:
devtool build bash

But that builds for x86 instead of for arm...

Simply patching check_workspace_recipe does not do the trick:
@@ -145,6 +145,8 @@ def check_workspace_recipe(workspace, pn,
checksrc=True, bbclassextend=False):
     is present.
     """

+    pn = pn.split(":")[-1]
+
     workspacepn = pn

     for recipe, value in workspace.items():


Any idea or documentation to follow?

Thanks!

I think this is something which hasn't been tested before. Its a bug
but nobody has probably tested or fixed devtool to work with
multiconfig.

Cheers,

I have opened a bug on bugzilla, with a horrible patch that kind of fixes it...
Lets see how it evolves.

That patches in master-next from Joshua fix up the bitbake side of the
APIs to support multiconfig so I'm hoping that brings us a lot
closer...
