[yocto] Build error: "u-boot-imx_2017.03.bb:do_compile" failed ( freescale I.MX 6 on Ubuntu 16.04) ?

[Martin Jansa]

I don't know what version of Yocto you're using, but if it's older than 2.3
(which does filter what binaries are seen from the host system with
HOSTTOOLS), then your build is probably autodetecting swig from host and
you can easily disable that with:

do_compile_prepend () {
    sed 's@\(^always += $(if $(shell which swig 2>
/dev/null),_libfdt.so)$\)@# do not autodetect swig, there is no swig-native
dependency \1 at g' -i ${S}/tools/Makefile
}

Then it won't try to rebuild libfdt python library and it won't fail.
