[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Building Maemo from scratch

[From: Russell Geldmacher]

Hi all,

Just noticed my reply wasn't to the list. Here is where I'm at:

I'm getting fairly far in the OE build process (for Maemo-1.0 -- we'll
talk about adding 1.1 later). It eventually will fail with the
following message:

ERROR: Nothing provides hotplug
ERROR: dependency hotplug (for nokia770-init) not satisfied
NOTE: no buildable providers for nokia770-init
ERROR: dependency nokia770-init (for task-bootstrap) not satisfied
NOTE: no buildable providers for task-bootstrap
ERROR: dependency task-bootstrap (for maemo-image) not satisfied
NOTE: no buildable providers for maemo-image

It seems like this hotplug issue shouldn't be happening, since at
least three packages are providing hotplug. I get this from my
packages directory:

 grep -r hotplug * | grep PROVIDES
hotplug-ng/hotplug-ng_001.bb:RPROVIDES = "hotplug"
linux-hotplug/linux-hotplug_20040329.bb:RPROVIDES_${PN} = "hotplug"
linux-hotplug/linux-hotplug_20040920.bb:RPROVIDES_${PN} = "hotplug"

Since more than one package provides hotplug, do I need to set a
preferred provider for it?

Is there any chance you can send me your local.conf?

If you or anyone else is interested, I can post my steps to getting at
least this far and hopefully someone else can look at it as well.

Thanks,
rusty
