Hello, I am new to Yocto and relatively new to Linux. I am working my way through the “Getting Started” guide and I have met a problem. I am trying to run the “environment-setup …” script for the arm platform. First I notice that when I list the folder /opt/poky/2.0.1 I see the scripts but they are not shown as executable. Is this correct? When I try the following command I am told “Permission denied”:

 

/opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi

 

If I use sudo I see “command not found”

 

The setup script has to be *sourced* into your shell, not run. The instructions most likely included a leading '.' but you missed it. Either type '. /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi' or 'source /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi' in your shell.

 

Using “source /opt/poky/2.0.1/environment-setup-armv5e-poky-linux-gnueabi” appeared to work, no errors reported. Should I now expect to see new environment variables when I use “printenv”, because I don’t see any of those mentioned in the getting started guide.
