If building on 32bit host and creating 64bit libraries, the target package builds should not invoke the 32bit hosts's ar. Specifically you will get an error message like: x86_64-linux-gcc -m64 --sysroot=/opt/qemux86-64/tmp/sysroots/qemux86-64 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,--as-needed -Llibs/x86emu v86_x86emu.o v86_mem.o v86_common.o v86.o -lx86emu -o v86d libs/x86emu/libx86emu.a: could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status (From OE-Core rev: 4bb926513084dfa6ebf5598a177239315530276e) Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.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 = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
