GDB fails to build following readme instructions

[domhel]

Hello,

I am trying to replicate an issue I have when using mender-uboot without grub.

For that, I followed the instructions:

From meta-bsp-imx8mm:

• Create a work directory

  mkdir compulab-freescale-bsp && cd compulab-freescale-bsp

• Set environmet varables:

  
  export COMPULAB_MACHINE=iot-gate-imx8
  export LREPO=imx_5.15.32-2.0.0-compulab.xml
  export CLB_RELEASE=iot-gate-imx8-r3.2.1

repo init -u https://github.com/nxp-imx/imx-manifest -b imx-linux-kirkstone -m imx-5.15.32-2.0.0.xml

mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests wget --directory-prefix .repo/local_manifests https://raw.githubusercontent.com/compulab-yokneam/meta-bsp-imx8mm/${CLB_RELEASE}/scripts/${LREPO}

Now from meta-mender-compulab

mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests wget --directory-prefix .repo/local_manifests https://raw.githubusercontent.com/compulab-yokneam/meta-mender-compulab/kirkstone-nxp/scripts/mender-compulab-kirkstone.xml repo sync

export MACHINE=iot-gate-imx8 source mender-setup-environment build-${MACHINE} bitbake -k fsl-image-network-full-cmdline

Then, gdb fails to build:

Did I miss a step?

What is the build host? gcc/g++ versions?

[vraevsky]

I'd suggest using the docker environment: https://github.com/compulab-yokneam/yocker#ubuntu-2004-preferred

I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 with gcc 11.3.0 Yocto Kirkstone works for me as expected, just not with the Readme
