[PATCH 0/2] Package upgrades

[Irina Patru]

The packages have been succesfully compiled for all major architectures.
Both packages were tested on a core-image-sato with midori browser on a nuc.

The following changes since commit e93a345fae7c21652547bec501fcb1f3b6c6427d:

  sstate: add do_package to the noexec list in setscene_depvalid (2014-01-07 13:58:32 +0000)

What package installs a C compiler on my target?

[Mike Looijmans]

Probably a silly question that has been asked a thousand times, but my 
searches on Google only give me the answer to the wrong question (how to build 
FOR the target, which I already know how to do).

I want to run the C compiler on the board itself. That is, a GCC that runs on 
the board and compiles (and links etc.) C code for that board.

What package(s) do I need to build and install to accomplish this?

Mike.

From one of my images:


IMAGE_FEATURES += "splash ssh-server-openssh tools-sdk \
tools-debug debug-tweaks \
dev-pkgs dbg-pkgs \
"
looks like tools-sdk is the one you want. dev- and dbg- packages might
also be helpful, but will make the image larger. Especially the debug ones.

That was my first thought too, sorry for not mentioning that...

It turned out that that only delivers "arm-linux-bla-blah-gcc", thus typing 
"gcc" on the commandline didn't do much useful until I also installed 
"gcc-symlinks".

Mike.

$ bitbake tools-sdk
ERROR: Nothing PROVIDES 'tools-sdk'

So I guess it's a package that's provided in another layer (I have oe-core and 
most of meta-oe).

So far, the following set I've derived through trial and error seems to come 
close:

TARGET_COMPILER_TOOLS = "\
     binutils \
     binutils-symlinks \
     cpp \
     cpp-symlinks \
     g++ \
     g++-symlinks \
     gcc \
     gcc-symlinks \
     make \
     packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target \
"

This allows a basic "hello world" to compile on target in C and C++ code. Make 
wasn't really required, but it's very convenient to have...

I'm mostly surprised that there wasn't a packagegroup to contain this set.

It increased the image size to about 130MB, but in this particular case, that 
won't be a problem.

Anyway, thanks for the tips all. Guess this list may be useful to others...

Mike.

It's an image feature that core-image.bbclass transforms into package groups:

PACKAGE_GROUP_tools-sdk = "packagegroup-core-sdk
packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target"

Philip was correct in that its an IMAGE_FEATURE, not something you
bitbake. The code in question basically triggers:

core-image.bbclass:PACKAGE_GROUP_tools-sdk = "packagegroup-core-sdk packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target"

which are indeed similar to your list above and the package groups do
exist...

Cheers,

Richard

No, tools-sdk it's not a bitbake target/package, it's an image feature
that you need to add it to your image, e.g in local.conf:
IMAGE_FEATURES_append = " tools-sdk"
You'll probably want to add dev-pkgs too (that will install the devel
packages/headers)

The glory details are in core-image.bbclass, basically tools-sdk
installs packagegroup-core-sdk and
packagegroup-core-standalone-sdk-target. These are actually targets that
you can build. If you want to see exactly on which packages these groups
depend on you can have a look at
meta/recipes-core/packagegroups/packagegroup-core*sdk*.bb recipes.

Cheers,
Stefan
