Re: [Gumstix-users] bitbake problem

[wilhemina <fmp...@gm...>]

Thanks so much! It worked!!  I was able to build the ipk files after removing
the config.log file with no problems. I can't help feeling that I lucked out
on this one though since I found someone who had built the package before. I
am curious as to what it takes to fully understand bitbake so as to
successfully resolve any problems that may arise with future builds without
necessarily googling such errors or hoping for someone who has performed the
same build. Is that a general solution for any such configure errors that
may arise with building other ipk files or is there a way of finding out
what the solution to the issues are outside asking? I would appreciate some
input because I am trying to fully understand the bitbake process and having
had to abandon past builds due to lack of solutions irrespective of google,
I do feel there is a lack of adequate documentation enabling anyone to fully
understand bitbake (the wiki does an adequate job but...). Does it involve
securing the bitbake source code? Is that code readily available? Does it
involve an understanding of python? I would really appreciate any help in
furthering my understanding of this.

On another note I am also curious as to why you decided not to implement the
ipk of pocketsphinx that you built. Did you find another speech recognition
alternative for the armv7 architecture?

Thanks again for the help.
