#uboot Problem compiling u-boot with bitbake

Hi

I'm trying to compile u-boot for an iMX6 board (iMX6-Q7_Plus from MSC technologies), but the compile process fails with the following output:

I have had errors like this before, and have been to resolve by installing the missing tools indicated. The problem that I've got here is that I'm not sure what "test" is referring to. using, "sudo apt-get install test", doesn't work.

Can someone please give me a hint as to what the problem is here.

Thanks in advance

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

It seems odd that you don't have coreutils/test already...
Test is part of coreutils on Ubuntu-20.04:

$ which test
/usr/bin/test
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/test
coreutils: /usr/bin/test

What distro are you using for your build machine and
have you installed the suggested packages?
See the quick start guide and links therein:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/ref-manual/ref-system-requirements.html#supported-linux-distributions

Also, if you could mention the layers and version of YP code
that you are using that could be helpful in general although
for this issue it shouldn't matter.

Hi Randy

Thank you for your reply.

I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 .

After reading what you said about coreutils in your last message, I 
tried installing coreutils and got a message saying the latest version 
is installed. Doing "which test" doesn't yield anything. I've looked in 
/usr/bin/ and there is no sign of test in there.

The version of Yocto Project I'm using is 2.5 "poky"

Andrew,

Thanks for the info about your distro and YP version.

It's odd that 'test' isn't part of your coreutils install.
    https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/+package/coreutils

Is it possible that you have removed it somehow?
If so you could try:

$ sudo apt install --reinstall coreutils
or
$ sudo apt-get install --reinstall coreutils

Hi Randy

Thank you for your reply.

Doing, "sudo apt install --reinstall coreutils" fixed the problem with 
test not being found. I'm not sure why it was not on the system, but 
that error is fixed.

Unfortunately I've run into another problem when I try and run bitbake, 
the process fails witht he following error:

/ ports/linux/pseudo_wrappers.c:68:16: error: ‘__NR_renameat2’ 
undeclared (first use in this function)/
/
/

I'll take another look at that issue in the morning.


Andrew

You'll need to upgrade to a newer yocto release or cherry-pick:

$ cd ../oe-core.git

commit 0fb257121b68f38b40c078150db8f7d0979b7ea5
Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Date:   Wed Apr 10 19:07:02 2019

     pseudo: Update to gain key bugfixes

     Newer distros are using new versions of glibc and coreutils which 
use the new glibc
     renameat2 function. We need to intercept this for correct 
functioning of pseudo. This
     is essential to ensure new distros continue to work with the project.

     Also, this version has a fix for path/inode cross corruption 
problems which
     may explain our mysterious locale permissions issues.

     Many thanks to Otavio and Peter Seebach for the help in figuring 
this out and
     fixing it.

Hi Randy

Thanks again for you help.

I upgraded my build system to Ubuntu 16.04, and this resolved the build 
errors I was having. There were historical reasons for the build drive 
being installed with 14.04, but that is no longer necessary. Upgrading 
to 16.04 cured the build problem.

Kind regards

Andrew
