failure to build SDK for macosx

[xlla]

already add meta-darwin in build/conf/bblayers.conf. set SDKMACHINE = "i386-darwin" in build/conf/local.conf have created OSX-sdk.zip for osx 10.13

xlla$ ditto `xcrun --sdk macosx10.13 --show-sdk-path` .
xlla$ zip -yr OSX-sdk OSX-sdk

I have put OSX-sdk.zip in download folder according to Makefile.

echo "Please make sure that OSX-sdk.zip is available in your bitbake download directory"
mv ~/develop/OSX-sdk.zip ~/develop/git/bbcache/downloads/

xlla@u18-1:~/develop/git/out/macosx$ ls
build  poky
xlla@u18-1:~/develop/git/out/macosx$ source poky/oe-init-build-env build

### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

You can now run 'bitbake '

Common targets are:
    core-image-minimal
    core-image-sato
    meta-toolchain
    meta-ide-support

You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'

then I change those 7 xxx.bbapend files to the version same as meta.

zlib_1.2.11.bbappend
binutils-cross-canadian_2.32.bbappend
xlla@u18-1:~/develop/git/out/macosx$ ls /home/xlla/develop/git/out/macosx/poky/meta-darwin/recipes-devtools/gcc/

then new errors come out.

after read poky/meta-darwin/recipes-devtools/osx-runtime/nativesdk-osx-runtime_10.8.bb I move OSX-sdk.zip into poky/meta-darwin/recipes-devtools/osx-runtime/files/

same errors.

I don't have a Mac so can't reproduce. But you can fix the WARNING: Layer meta-darwin should set LAYERSERIES_COMPAT_meta-darwin... by adding something similar as here https://github.com/edison-fw/meta-intel-edison/blob/master/meta-intel-edison-bsp/conf/layer.conf to the meta-darwin/conf/layer.conf.

[xlla]

In theory, can I build a SDK for Mac in a linux host? Or I must run those build script in Mac host to produce a SDK.

[htot]

setup.sh --list_sdk_hosts=macosx ?

[htot]

Have you tried this? Either way i think we should mark this as won't fix because it is not supported by upstream Yocto anymore.

[Ecordonnier]

FYI, meta-darwin has been updated upstream (see https://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-darwin/log/ )

[xlla]

@Ecordonnier , I am glad to heard this hibernated layer has been awake again, I will check it in the future.
