Add gcc, g++ to custom minimal image

[markofrelih]

How to add gcc and g++ to custom minimal image, I've tried to add:

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " sqlite3 gcc g++ make"

into local.conf. Make is found, however, gcc and g++ are not, why?

Here is also bblayers.conf:

# LAYER_CONF_VERSION is increased each time build/conf/bblayers.conf
# changes incompatibly
LCONF_VERSION = "6"

BBPATH = "${TOPDIR}"
BBFILES ?= ""

BBLAYERS ?= " \

The toolchain runs on target board, which is the same exact version as the cross tools in this SDK, is only included in
fsl-image-full rootfs, if you want to add toolchain into other rootfs images, do the following:
1. Edit fsl-image-minimal.bb/fsl-image-core.bb to add packagegroup-core-buildessential in the IMAGE_INSTALL
variable.

2. $ bitbake <rootfs-target>.

Please try the following:

Please add "IMAGE_INSTALL +=packagegroup-core-buildessential" in sources/meta-freescale/recipes-fsl/images/fsl-image-minimal.bb, and rebuild minimal rootfs filesytem with "$bitbake fsl-image-minimal"

Have a great day,
Yiping
