When i try to build linux using the exact steps outlined in this guide i get the following error. ERROR: Task 888 (virtual:native:/home/hatter/edm-yocto/sources/poky/meta/recipes-core/ncurses/ncurses_5.9.bb, do_compile) failed with exit code '1'

Hello, Joiie:

Thanks for your feedback. Is there any compiling error log ? And what branch do you use ? I guess it may result from lack of some library in your build environment. Let us check the compiling error log first to see how to solve it.

Thank You !

Hello richard-hu Here is the log file of the build and the log file for the package failing to compile.

log.do_compile.26536.txt 20160725060809.log.txt

Hello, Joiie: I search this error message on google. It seems this error results from that "GCC 5.X" isn't compatible with ncurses-5.9.

Because the host OS i use is ubuntu 14.04 and the gcc version is 4.8.4. Maybe it's the reason that I never ran into this trouble before.

Could you do me a favor ? I found there is a workaround in the link below. http://lists.openembedded.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2015-December/113778.html

Add a line into your local.conf file. (/home/hatter/edm-yocto/build/conf/local.conf) CPPFLAGS_append_pn-ncurses-native = " -P"

Then, try to build yocto again to see if this workaround works.

If problem still happens, I need to take some time to prepare ubuntu 16.04 environment to reproduce this issue.

Thank you !

That seemed to solve the problem, running the build now and it compiled ncurses without any problems. I will let you know if it worked as soon as the build is done. Huge thanks for your help!
