[Packages] Would need to have python virtualenv available #20

Closed vrubiolo closed 5 years ago

[apologies if this is not the right channel to ask, please tell me where we can best discuss those questions]

Hi Ferry,

I am using the rocko64-acpi branch to package an installation of Octoprint as per the official site instructions. Those reference the virtualenv binary but I don't see it available in the list of bitbake recipes that I have

It looks to be available in the meta-openstack layer (from the Yocto layer index). Is it a matter of just adding it in (I am a beginner w/ Yocto) when I configure my project? If not, would it be appropriate to include in the list of recipes available (you already provide a good dev setup btw, thanks!)

Another question: what is the difference between a package like 'python-setuptools' and 'nativesdk-python-setuptools'? Is it that the former really runs on the target (via the sysroot) whereas the latter is just picked up from the host?

Thanks much for your attention, Vincent

Hello Vincent, I'm just a beginner too. But I would do the same, lookup the open embedded layer index, find that meta-openstack has the recipy and meta-openstack is in git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-cloud-services. Then modify setup.sh to clone that and add it to the layers file. Or I would probably start by cloning manually and manually changing the layers.conf.

About your 2nd question, I'm not sure. But I now many packages have a native variant. Afaik these are built to run on the host, i.e. not picked up from the host. And there are nativesdk packages. Bitbake can build an sdk (installer), I guess the nativesdk packages go in there.

BTW I do use the sdk, but I don't install it, just create a few links to make it work. I need to documented that I think here.

Hi Ferry,

Thanks for the quick reply and the good suggestions, I will try to add the layer from Openembedded and report back then.

Did you succeed in making it work?

vrubiolo commented 5 years ago

Sorry, I was not actively monitoring the project here as I have put that aside for a while. My Printrbot 3D printer got its CNC control board fried and I am busy installing a new one (Printrboard G2). I will get back to the Edison once I have that sorted out. Thanks again for providing and supporting all those bits!

Closing until I get to work on this, this is not really an issue.
