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?

[JZ] correct for app devel you really need the cross toolchain and the
sysroot which contains the target libraries and headers.



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-d734ab491a30078d4
3dee5440c03acce2d251425-dylan
<http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org/1.4.2-d734ab491a30078d43dee5440c03acce2
d251425-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-6b4f7e4b26c5
1f0c1517c0a697031e7bc488b76f-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.

[JZ] I just realized that you're using 1.4 release, can you try to download
the adt-installer from
http://downloads.yoctoproject.org/releases/yocto/yocto-1.4.2/adt-installer/
to ensure using the right adtrepo? You shouldn't need to manually tweak the
adtrepo in the config file.

Thanks for your help!

Hi Dusty,

 

The prerequisite for eglibc-devel are for running a yocto build on your
host. adt-installer is for  setup the cross development environment for
application development so it's not the tool to install those prerequisite
packages.

 

As to your adt-installer issues, we've heard similar report from our QA
engineer as well, so to confirm, are you using the latest built out of
adt-installer?

 

Thanks,

Jessica

Reading the Quick Start and ADT manuals, it was recommended to use the ADT
installer script as the easiest method to get the tools and the Eclipse
plugin in place. I'm running a Fedora 17 VM as the development host, and
would like to target Beaglebone and vanilla x86 devices using Eclipse.
However, I ran into some issues:

 

First, the prerequisites lists a package "eglibc-devel" that does not seem
to exist as a yum package, although it looks like the poky tarball has it
inside -- so it should be built from the source tarball during installation
of poky -- e.g. NOT using the ADT installation? The ADT guide warns against
mixing installation methods, building ADT from poky vs. the ADT installer,
etc. So, what is the recommended method for having this prerequisite library
for Yocto?

 

Second, the ADT installer script is pointing to 404s when getting packages:
the YOCTOADT_REPO variable is pointing to a repo at
http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org//$VERSION
<http://adtrepo-dev.yoctoproject.org/$VERSION>  that doesn't exist. I edited
adt_installer.conf to point to what I thought was the appropriate master as
/1.4+snapshot-$hash-master, but the install script failed with a message
about wget trying to get the opkg portion of the repo. There appears to be
no opkg folder at all to be found there...so is the ADT installer now
deprecated and one should just install poky and build the ADT stuff from
there on?

 

Thanks for any help!
