[yocto] Building clang with Yocto

[Yu, Chan KitX]

I **think** I'm just inches away from success. I think I just need to invoke a correct install command somewhere in the do_install function but so far I have not managed to do so. But right now the alternative way of jamming the compiler into the SDK sounds tempting to me.

Hi Jim,

How did you jam the clang compiler into the SDK tarball?

Hello Chan,

I have been working to a similar goal, to include clang in the toolchain to be used for compiling applications to run on the target.  Using clang to compile the OS and kernel are not required or  desired by me.  

You may get some insight from the thread I started in November on the subject.  I'm not sure that this contains all of the posts on the subject. You may want to search the archive for November.

I have not been successful yet in getting clang actually packaged in the toolchain, in the Yocto build,  but at least it builds.  I have a postbuild script that takes the built clang compiler from the work directory and jams it into the SDK tarball that is embedded in the sdk install script.
