Bitbake command fails with distro fsl-imx-xwayland

[d_fourdrigniez]

I am trying to build a yocto toolchain with Qt5 for NXP Freescale i.MX6 board. But I keep getting an error with any bitbake command line. I also tried checking to HEAD branch for every layer, I get the same below error:

david@david-ubuntu:~/yocto/fsl-release-bsp/build$ bitbake meta-toolchain-qt5

I found on another forum that something might be using obsolete arguments to git, but I am not able to downgrade git package and I also want to avoid reinstalling a previous version of Ubuntu.

Here is my poky config (local.conf)

Is there a way to fix this ?

Hello David Fourdrigniez,

This error is related to the git version. You can see that it states on the log: “'--set-upstream' option is no longer supported. Please use '--track' or '--set-upstream-to'”. This error is present when using a newer git version on an old BSP. You could force install an older git release, like 1.7 as it’s the most recent version that has not deprecated –set-upstream, but this could cause errors with newer BSPs.

I hope this helps!

Regards.

Hello gusarambula‌,

Thank you for your answer ! I fixed the issue by downgrading Ubuntu version to 16.04, which fixed the issue..

Best regards,
David
