build-yocto: Update to Ubuntu 16.04 #261

Closed zzeroo closed 6 years ago

That is just a suggestion.

I've no overview how this fits into all the other components of this project.

+1 I've been recommending easy-build as a guaranteed working configuration, but got stuck on the locale problem when building with recent yocto versions. And yes, iputils-ping is also a new requirement.

I guess tmux is for convenience and not required for the devshell? Or what's the difference between running tmux on your host and then attaching multiple terminals to the container (e.g. calling "docker exec -ti mycontainer bash" once in each window) instead of running tmux inside of the container? Same thing in practice?

@gunnarx Your right, the second commit was more or less a mistake by me. I've revert that.

If you have tmux (or another multiplexer like the old screen) installed then you can call commands like these bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel bitbake opens then a new terminal session and presents you the standard menuconfig. Same with bitbake -c devshell virtual/kernel here opens bitbake a new shell with a correct environment ready to do thinks like make. Without docker it starts simply a new shell but in docker this needs a terminal multiplexer.

The error that is shown without tmux installed is very informative, try it yourself:

$ bitbake -c menuconfig virtual/kernel
... do_menuconfig: No valid terminal found, unable to open devshell.                                                        
Tried the following commands:              
        tmux split-window "do_terminal"    
        tmux new-window -n "linux-bananapro Configuration" "do_terminal"
