[yocto] kernel rebuild and bitbake -c menuconfig

[Frans Meulenbroeks]

Hi,

I'm wondering how to do a kernel rebuild after doing changing the .config using
bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
I've tried forcing a recompile using:
bitbake -ccompile -f virtual/kernel
that indeed rebuilds the kernel
However if I then do a bitbake virtual/kernel this does not result in
an image in my deploy dir.

system info
host: ubuntu 12.04
denzil 7.0 software (from tarball)
target: ppc (actually for my own board but I did not do weird things
in my bsp, like adding extra tasks.

It seems the vmlinux.bin.gz is still generated but the uImage is not
(which can also be seen from the log below where do_install is not
ran.
Additional proof:
f5ad9f2b30047a8d3493a1a2880a-r1.40$ ls -l ./image/kernel/uImage
./linux-syrcxx-standard-build/vmlinux.bin.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 frans frans 1609509 2012-05-10 10:19 ./image/kernel/uImage
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frans frans 1611499 2012-05-11 08:52
./linux-syrcxx-standard-build/vmlinux.bin.gz
This si from after I ran the bitbake commands below.

What is going wrong here?

Frans.
