[yocto] Yocto Beginner Issues When Adding Layers / Recipes

[windswept321]

Hi List,

I have been trying to get a build up and running for the past couple of
days following the latest official quick-start guide with no success
(Debian 8 —> Debian 7 —> Ubuntu LTS…)
I want to have openssh, ntp, iptables, dnsmasq and hostapd added to the
build. The meta-amd layer was added in case of there being anything useful
for a GX-412TC Crowned Eagle CPU. It doesn’t seem to have any impact at the
moment.

My bblayers.conf customisations:

  /home/aaron/poky/meta-amd/common \
  /home/aaron/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-networking \
  /home/aaron/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-python \
  /home/aaron/poky/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \

Each of these was added to the poky directory using git clone “link”. Some
are dependencies for meta-networking.

I have added the following to my local.conf:

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL += "openssh ntp iptables dnsmasq hostapd”

On running bitbake core-image-minimal I get the below error.
Is there something wrong with my configuration?
