FYI: apparently my ASAP is now measure in many days, but I did complete
my own externalsrc builds, and they work out of the box.
Looking at the recipe you quoted below, you are running into the config
handling of the layer/recipes you are basing your work from:
i.e. you pasted this:
-----------
require linux.inc
#THIS TEMPLATE COPIED FROM linux-sakoman_3.5.bb
<http://linux-sakoman_3.5.bb>
<http://linux-sakoman_3.5.bb>
DESCRIPTION = "Linux kernel for OMAP processors"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM =
"file://COPYING;md5=__d7810fab7487fb0aad327b76f1be7c__d7"
KERNEL_IMAGETYPE = "uImage"
COMPATIBLE_MACHINE = "overo"
FILESEXTRAPATHS_prepend := "${THISDIR}/linux-omap-__khilmanpm:"
PV = "3.5"
inherit externalsrc
S =
"/home/desen555/suan_work/__kernel_work/khilman35-src-__mods/linux-omap-khilmanpm"
B = "${WORKDIR}/git"
SRC_URI = "file://defconfig \
file://omap2plus_defconfig \
file://usb_off.patch \
"
-------------
Since linux.inc isn't in oe-core or yocto, I can't build that directly, but
I do have no problems with a simple korg recipe that inherits kernel
or linux-yocto kernel support.
So that leaves me to say that your defconfig and config pain is coming
from whatever linux.inc is doing and you need to take that up with the
authors of that recipe.
Cheers,
Bruce
