Compiling on Ubuntu 18.04 #2

When trying to follow your tutorial on Ubuntu 18.04, the building fails due to several errors. I was able to fix a couple of them, but there are so many others, that I don't think it is worth doing trying to fix it.

Instead, I was considering compiling the latest yocto release 2.7 with the parallella specifics. So I wanted to ask your opinion on that, I and to check if you could please provide some initial how-to merge the parrellella/epiphany layers into the new yocto structure.

Thank you, and congrats for the project!

If you want a simple solution you can always create a virtual machine and build the system with the original versions.

The ideas behind meta-exotic, meta-epiphany should transfer to the latest yocto releases, however I am sure that there will be many things to resolve. Essentially you need to become an expert in cross compiling.

I am not currently working in this area so will not be able to give any assistance.
