So I gave up, for the time being, trying to build behind
my firewall.
I tried to set up a machine outside my firewall to do a build.
Unfortunately, this machine is a bit dated. It is running
Fedora 8, with python version 2.5.1.
Here's what I get when I run bitbake:
[tbird at tree poky-4.0-build]$ bitbake poky-image-minimal
File "/a/home/tbird/work/yocto/poky-laverne-4.0/scripts/..//bitbake//bin/bitbake", line 207
except Exception as e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
[tbird at tree poky-4.0-build]$ python --version
Python 2.5.1
[tbird at tree poky-4.0-build]$ cat /etc/issue
Fedora release 8 (Werewolf)1
What version of python is required?
Note also that I couldn't find a prce package for this distro, despite
there being an prce-devel page available. I don't know how important
that will be for building stuff.
Is it a dead end trying to get a host distro this old to build
poky?
