[yocto] Problems with the ADT installation

[Dusty Clark]

Hello Jessica,

OK, so for plain application development, I don't need eglibc-devel
library...just the cross-development toolchain and whatever recipes and
whatnot for my target, yes?

For the record, I downloaded the ADT tarball from here:
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4/adt-installer/
The link in the manual is a 404, so I found this one by modifying the link
location in the browser.

Then I browsed around and found what I thought was the closest snapshot,
and edited the adt_installer.conf as follows:

#YOCTOADT_REPO="
http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//1.4.2-d734ab491a30078d43dee5440c03acce2d251425-dylan
"

#Edit by Dusty 9/24/13, since the original repo target is a 404:
YOCTOADT_REPO="
http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org/1.4+snapshot-6b4f7e4b26c51f0c1517c0a697031e7bc488b76f-master/
"

And of course this failed as mentioned. I attach the installer logfile for
your reference...I tried it twice, once with the bad link and again with
the edit.

Thanks for your help!
