2020-09-16: running on EasyOS Buster-series 2.4.1


get started
-----------

# source oe-init-build-env build-amd64


run
---

# bitbake-layers show-layers

generates dep list, pkg list:
# bitbake -g core-image-minimal

start the build:
# bitbake core-image-minimal


to recompile a pkg
------------------

this will delete the entire prior pkg pkgname/version folder...
# bitbake -c clean pkgname

clean, and also clear state-cache:
# bitbake -c cleansstate pkgname

# bitbake -c build pkgname

errors, recover
---------------

to keep going, ignore errors:
# bitbake -k core-image-quirky

Create a new recipe
-------------------

# recipetool create -o <pkg>_<ver>.bb <url>

example:
# recipetool create -o ntp_4.2.8p10.bb https://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp/ntp_spool/ntp4/ntp-4.2/ntp-4.2.8p10.tar.gz

Note, if <url> is a .tar.xz, get error that 'xz' missing.
fix: in tmp-glibc/hosttools, create symlink: ln -s /usr/bin/xz xz

-----------------------------------

If you need to see the contents of DISTRO_FEATURES from the command line
# bitbake -e core-image-minimal | grep "^DISTRO_FEATURES"
