Hello Jessica,

OK, so for plain application development, I don't need eglibc-devel library...just the cross-development toolchain and whatever recipes and whatnot for my target, yes?

[JZ] correct for app devel you really need the cross toolchain and the sysroot which contains the target libraries and headers…

For the record, I downloaded the ADT tarball from here:
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4/adt-installer/

The link in the manual is a 404, so I found this one by modifying the link location in the browser.

Then I browsed around and found what I thought was the closest snapshot, and edited the adt_installer.conf as follows:

#YOCTOADT_REPO="http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//1.4.2-d734ab491a30078d43dee5440c03acce2d251425-dylan"

#Edit by Dusty 9/24/13, since the original repo target is a 404:
YOCTOADT_REPO="http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org/1.4+snapshot-6b4f7e4b26c51f0c1517c0a697031e7bc488b76f-master/"

And of course this failed as mentioned. I attach the installer logfile for your reference...I tried it twice, once with the bad link and again with the edit.

[JZ] I just realized that you’re using 1.4 release, can you try to download the adt-installer from http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4.2/adt-installer/ to ensure using the right adtrepo? You shouldn’t need to manually tweak the adtrepo in the config file…

Thanks for your help!

Hi Dusty,

The prerequisite for eglibc-devel are for running a yocto build on your host. adt-installer is for  setup the cross development environment for application development so it’s not the tool to install those prerequisite packages.

As to your adt-installer issues, we’ve heard similar report from our QA engineer as well, so to confirm, are you using the latest built out of adt-installer?

Thanks,

Jessica

Subject: [yocto] Problems with the ADT installation

Reading the Quick Start and ADT manuals, it was recommended to use the ADT installer script as the easiest method to get the tools and the Eclipse plugin in place. I'm running a Fedora 17 VM as the development host, and would like to target Beaglebone and vanilla x86 devices using Eclipse. However, I ran into some issues:

First, the prerequisites lists a package "eglibc-devel" that does not seem to exist as a yum package, although it looks like the poky tarball has it inside -- so it should be built from the source tarball during installation of poky -- e.g. NOT using the ADT installation? The ADT guide warns against mixing installation methods, building ADT from poky vs. the ADT installer, etc. So, what is the recommended method for having this prerequisite library for Yocto?

Second, the ADT installer script is pointing to 404s when getting packages: the YOCTOADT_REPO variable is pointing to a repo at http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//$VERSION that doesn't exist. I edited adt_installer.conf to point to what I thought was the appropriate master as /1.4+snapshot-$hash-master, but the install script failed with a message about wget trying to get the opkg portion of the repo. There appears to be no opkg folder at all to be found there...so is the ADT installer now deprecated and one should just install poky and build the ADT stuff from there on?

Thanks for any help!
