Hi,
    Let me thank you guys for quick reply.
let me put my  email in correct steps

1. below local/local.conf changes makes bitbake fail.

                            IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc
lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit libxml2-*staticdev*"

error:=============
================================== i get the following
errors==================================
ERROR: core-image-minimal-1.0-r0 do_rootfs: Function failed: do_rootfs
ERROR: Logfile of failure stored in: /home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/
build/tmp/work/zcu102_zynqmp-poky-linux/core-image-minimal/
1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs.17721
ERROR: Task 9 (/home/polar/zcu_yocto/poky/meta/recipes-core/images/core-
image-minimal.bb, do_rootfs) failed with exit code '1'
NOTE: Tasks Summary: Attempted 2144 tasks of which 2143 didn't need to be
rerun and 1 failed.
===================================

2.  without staticdev changes [in local/local.conf], it
[bitbake-core-image-minimal] goes through and it builds [but there is only
.so [dynamic library] generated]

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = "lib32-glibc lib32-libgcc lib32-libstdc++ libedit
libxml2"


3. i ran the search and found that all "no-static" lines are commented

bitbake -e | grep static-libs


and all the "no-static-libs.inc" are commented [#]

Thanks
RC
