Hi

[vikramks1]

I am a newbie to yocto. Please help me.

I am trying to add gcc package to my core-image-minimal using IMAGE_INSTALL_append variable in local.conf file, but after bitbake the package is not getting added or installed in the image.

I have initialized the variable as follows in local.conf file.

IMAGE_INSTALL_append = " gcc"

then executed bitbake -k core-image-minimal

Take a look in variable IMAGE_FEATURES [1] which possible values are listed in [2]

[1] Yocto Project Mega-Manual

[2] Yocto Project Mega-Manual

From the same manual:

core-image-minimal: A small image just capable of allowing a device to boot.

Prefer to use core-image-base instead, because minimal is NOT supposed to be full featured image, it's only a bring up image. And add the native features you need, not only *gcc*.
