Build Image with only Custom Collections

dvadhar - January 5, 2011

Hi,

I am working with MVL6 and I want to create image using only custom collection. The custom collection contains binary RPMs of the different packages.

I have create a project and copied all the recipe files in 'collection/custom/recipes/<respective package directory>' directory of the project. Then I have run command 'source setup.sh' and 'bitbake -D default-image'. But I got error 'ERROR: IO Error: file 'conf/bitbake.conf' not found'. I have also verify that 'BBPATH' environment variable is already set. Then also it is giving this error.

I don't know why this error comes. Please help me out to resolve this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Dhaval Vadhar

Hi Dhaval, BitBake is

Hi Dhaval,

BitBake is looking for conf/bitbake.conf because that is its default. If you remove the other recipes in the standard collections, you also remove the ability for the MontaVista Integration Platform to work as a cohesive unit, as much of its "intelligence" is in the recipe structure in the standard collections.

I think you might have a difficult time creating an image using only custom collections. The standard collections contain all of the recipes needed to build images - if you remove them, you'd have to replicate all of that functionality. If you want to create images, you will need to include the kernel, core, and base collections.

It might be helpful if you explain what you are trying to accomplish.

I hope that helps!
