i.MX Yocto Project: What Can I Do if I Run Into a Compilation Error?

3 Kudos

1. When reusing the build directory, sometimes compilation errors are seen; to overcome these, a fast solution is to clean the Share State Cache of the particular recipe/package

$ bitbake <name of the recipe> -c cleansstate

2. Re-run the recipe

$ bitbake <name of the recipe>

3. Re-run the bitbake command you were running, before getting into trouble. For example:

$ bitbake fsl-image-gui

In case the problem persists, please send the log into the mailing list or check if this issue has been reported previously.

Hello

I have bad luck and I run into a compilation error. The error comes at xserver compilation. How can I know the exact <name of the recipe> for that recipe?

Thanks

Usually when there is an error, the message is in red and it contains the name of the recipe/package. Can you post your log? What image are you building?

Hello and thanks Leo

I think I can remember a cuestion about coloring test during installation process. I fear I have difficulty with some obscure letters and I answered 'No colors'. Do you think I can get back the cuestion?

Testing and looking deeper I find that the directory containing the tmp\log.do_compile* files seems to be the recipe name: xserver-xorg-2_1.11.2-r11, in this case. But I did the cleanstate option and not get solved the problem. So I also wrote to the mailing list with the error.

I can not find how to attach the log with the errors. These are the lines where the error comes:

if the '-c cleansstate xserver-xorg' did not help, I think the next step is to remove the whole tmp folder (yes, it hurts :smileyhappy:) . Regarding the colour question, somewhere on the setup this question is done, and I do not know who to change this setting.

Again, what image are you building? if this issue happening on dylan branches?

controlhorus · ‎08-12-2013

Hello Leonardo

Sorry. I forgot to answer your second question. danny is the branch we are compiling. We got a succesful compilation on a virtual machine but when we do, apparently, the same thing in a real linux, it failed.

Thanks

Hello

I felt very sad about having to delete tmp directory. So I renamed it to tmp_no instead of deleting it. Then do the bitabke fsl-image-gui. The build process give us this warnings:

WARNING: The recipe is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist. Those files are:

/home/dgg/rootfs_buider/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabrelite/usr/include/GL/glx.h

/home/dgg/rootfs_buider/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabrelite/usr/include/GL/glext.h

/home/dgg/rootfs_buider/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabrelite/usr/include/GL/glu.h

/home/dgg/rootfs_buider/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabrelite/usr/include/GL/gl.h

WARNING: The recipe is trying to install files into a shared area when those files already exist. Those files are:

/home/dgg/rootfs_buider/build/tmp/sysroots/imx6qsabrelite/usr/include/GL/glxtokens.h

and end the buiild process correctly ... and soon :smileyshocked: .

After it, I understand that rename is not the same that delete. The process must be using yet the tmp_no directory and has been able to do something in the new directory. I am going to delete now the tmp_no directory and see what happens.

Thanks

Hi Diego,

AFAIK, Danny branches are not updated anymore. In case you want the most update & stable branch, use Dylan branches (there must be a way to jump from branchs A to branches B using the repo command. In case there is no way, you need to 'repo -init -b dylan' again)

Leo

controlhorus · ‎08-12-2013

Thanks Leonardo

As a matter of fact, danny is not working on imx6 q sabre lite. We write on another post saying that the compiled image has errors on start and they said to us that we must use dylan. We create a new directory and it will end compiling in a few miuntes ... I hope :smileyhappy:

Thanks again and best regards

08/13 dylan working. thanks
