+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"
xfce4-terminal -T "linux-bananapro Configuration" -e "do_terminal"
terminology -T="linux-bananapro Configuration" -e do_terminal
mate-terminal --disable-factory -t "linux-bananapro Configuration" -x do_terminal
konsole --separate --workdir . -p tabtitle="linux-bananapro Configuration" -e do_terminal
gnome-terminal -t "linux-bananapro Configuration" -x do_terminal
xterm -T "linux-bananapro Configuration" -e do_terminal
rxvt -T "linux-bananapro Configuration" -e do_terminal
tmux new -d -s devshell -n devshell "do_terminal"
screen -D -m -t "linux-bananapro Configuration" -S devshell do_terminal
Thanks @zzeroo for your contribution. I cherry-picked your first commit and created a new PR https://github.com/gmacario/easy-build/pull/263 - currently running tests locally before merging to master.
Thanks also @gunnarx for his feedbacks on the PR
Superseded by PR #263
That is just a suggestion.
I've no overview how this fits into all the other components of this project.
