Specify a different version of UDEV [iMX35 MSD]

harbottle - June 13, 2011

By default, the iMX35 build uses udev-124 by default. The MSD also contains udev-154, which I need to use (124 does not have libudev, which I need to use.)

How can I tell the build to use udev-154 instead of 124?

Specifying a different version of UDEV

Hello harbottle,

You can specifiy a different version of a package as follows:

1. In a text editor, open <project-dir>/conf/local.conf

2. Add the following line to you local.conf file:

PREFERRED_VERSION_<recipe-name> = "<version>""

For example:

PREFERRED_VERSION_ncurses = "1.3"

3. Save the local.conf file.

4. bitbake -c rebuild <package>

Please let me know if that works for you.

Thanks

Bill
