Linux Essentials course, build errors

boikhutso , 08-02-2022, 12:20 AM
I am starting Linux Essentials and I run into problems when running bitbake <target> .
I am getting ../recipes-dev-tools/m4/m4-native_1.4.17bb, do_compile failed with exit code '1' error. Do you have an idea of what the problem might be? I am running UBUNTU 20.04LTS, have tried several distributions as well but still run into the same problem. Please point me in the right direction. Thanks

Please, you will need to use the Ubuntu version which is recommended (I think is 14.2 (?)) ,otherwise you may have a lot of problems.

Hi Robert, thanks for the response.I will try Ubuntu 14.2. It says on the yocto website the supported distributions are:
  • Ubuntu 16.04 (LTS)
  • Ubuntu 18.04 (LTS)
  • Ubuntu 20.04
  • Fedora 30
  • Fedora 31
  • Fedora 32
  • CentOS 7.x
  • CentOS 8.x
  • Debian GNU/Linux 8.x (Jessie)
  • Debian GNU/Linux 9.x (Stretch)
  • Debian GNU/Linux 10.x (Buster)
  • OpenSUSE Leap 15.1
I have tried Debian 9, Ubuntu 20.04,16, Fedora 32.

You need to follow the NXP documentation, not the yocto one.
