[yocto] ref manual, ch 5, claims that toolchain should be installed under /opt/poky

Tue Apr 3 08:14:51 PDT 2012

According to Jessica, there has been no change in the behavior of how the toolchain unpacks.  /opt/poky is still used.

Did you include the meta-yocto layer when you bake the meta-toolchain? "/opt/poky" is the default settings for the toolchain generated using meta-yocto layer, while oe-core uses "/usr/local". I don't know why your prefix is "./usr/local". The location of toolchain should be configurable by the value of variable SDKPATH, but we didn't test it with other values in the context of meta-yocto layer.

I don't think you can untar the meta-toolchain to any arbitrary place and have it work correctly.
