Re: Bitbake error : nothing PROVIDES?

[Conrad Ljungström]

Hi!

So I was just testing a few things and I ran into some trouble. I don’t quite understand the error message I got and thought I’d ask since this is likely piece of cake for most people around here.

So what I did was I borrowed some code from the c++ reference page.

( http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdlib/system/ ) to try and see if i could get a nonzero output, but when I tried running bitbake it went boom. 🙁

.c file

—

#include <stdio.h>

#include <stdlib.h>

int main()

{

int i = 5;

printf(“UmmDeeDum! Processor blah..”);

if(system(NULL)) puts(“Ok”);

else exit(1);

printf(“Executing Command LS…n”);

i=system(“ls”);

printf(“Value returned: %d.n”, i);

}

.bb file

}

do_install() {

install -d ${D}${bindir}

install -m 0755 test ${D}${bindir}

}

Unexpected to say the least…

#EDIT

This should probably be in the MultiConnect OCG (Cellular Development Platform) forum instead of General (my bad) :/
