Set ac_cv_sizeof_ssize_t for mips64; mips-common will not overwrite it. "ssize_t is a posix define which is architecture specific whose value is signed size_t, glibc/uclibc for mips64/n64 linux platform defines it to be equivalent of 'long' and long here is 8bytes because mips64/n64 follows LP64 model. In OpenEmbedded our default ABI for mips64 platforms is N64, having said that autoconf decides to poke at the platform for finding these kind of sizes which fails when you are doing cross compiling hence we have to cache it." - Khem Raj [YOCTO #5935] (From OE-Core rev: 7a5b6b968c5adf06982ff0f53871f87aaed41580) Signed-off-by: Valentin Popa <valentin.popa@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/documentation
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "nodistro") and contains only emulated machine support.
For information about OpenEmbedded, see the OpenEmbedded website: http://www.openembedded.org/
Where to Send Patches
As Poky is an integration repository, patches against the various components should be sent to their respective upstreams.
bitbake: bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org
meta-yocto: poky@yoctoproject.org
Most everything else should be sent to the OpenEmbedded Core mailing list. If in doubt, check the oe-core git repository for the content you intend to modify. Before sending, be sure the patches apply cleanly to the current oe-core git repository. openembedded-core@lists.openembedded.org
Note: The scripts directory should be treated with extra care as it is a mix of oe-core and poky-specific files.
