[Gumstix-users] Installing OE on Ubuntu 10.10 for Connex

[Garth W. <gar...@gm...>]

Hi, I'm trying to get an environment set up where I can write code to
run on my old gumstix connex 400xm. It seems the system it used when I
purchased it has been retired and OpenEmbedded is what I need.  I
followed the instructions on the wiki and got to this step:

  bitbake gumstix-basic-image

Running this gave repeated errors.  Somewhere -Werror was set and so I
had to edit multiple files to fix trivial, ignorable errors to get the
build to continue.  I finally got through these and I (literally) get
several thousand lines of errors on "gmp-native-4.2.1-r2" of the form:

| scanf/.libs/vsscanf.o: In function `__gmpz_set_q':
| vsscanf.c:(.text+0x359): multiple definition of `__gmpz_set_q'

It can't be this hard to get OE installed.  What am I doing wrong?  Is
this packaged someplace so I'm not building the bleeding edge of the
source?
