i've been fighting with this for a while and getting nowhere.
using the OE dev branch, can anyone successfully build
beagleboard-demo-image on a (fully-updated) 64-bit ubuntu 10.04
install?
i've been trying to do this for weeks and the build has consistently
failed for two packages: firefox and abiword. someone else claims to
have no problems with *32-bit* ubuntu so it seems obvious that the
64-bit install is part of the problem.
i just updated my entire OE git checkout and am trying it again as
we speak. once the build finishes, if i still have the same failures
(and i fully expect to), i'll have full log files that i can post.
but i just want to start with that simple question -- has anyone else
got this to build?

short followup, same result as always:
ERROR: '/home/rpjday/oe/openembedded/recipes/mozilla/firefox_3.6.3.bb' failed
ERROR: '/home/rpjday/oe/openembedded/recipes/abiword/abiword_2.8.3.bb' failed
NOTE: Sending SIGINT to remaining 0 tasks
ERROR: '/home/rpjday/oe/openembedded/recipes/mozilla/firefox_3.6.3.bb' failed
ERROR: '/home/rpjday/oe/openembedded/recipes/abiword/abiword_2.8.3.bb' failed
thoughts? surely someone else has tried this under 64-bit ubuntu,
no? and, yes, i can obviously post the relevant log excerpts but it
would be nice if someone else could verify they get the same result
first, just so i know it's not just something stupid i've done.

Remove firefox and abiword from the image. There are obviously
problems with the recipes and it appears not many people use them.

following thru the files, i'm assuming i can do that by editing out
the appropriate entries in recipes/tasks/task-beagleboard-demo.bb,
yes:
... snip ...
firefox midori \ <---
gecko-mediaplayer-firefox-hack \ <--- ??
hicolor-icon-theme gnome-icon-theme \
jaaa nmap iperf gnuplot \
abiword-meta \ <---
... snip ...
so just knocking out those entries should do it?

i suspected it wasn't going to be this easy. i edited the task file
recipes/tasks/task-beagleboard-demo.bb and removed the entries for
firefox and abiword-meta, but i suspected right away that some other
package was going to drag firefox right back in and i was right:
recipes/gnome-mplayer/gecko-mediaplayer_svn.bb:
...
DEPENDS = "firefox gtk+ gconf dbus-glib"
RDEPENDS_${PN} = "firefox gnome-mplayer"
it may be that simply removing that gecko mediaplayer package from
the image will solve this, but is there an easier and more general way
of doing this? i don't suppose bitbake supports the idea of excluding
a package and all of its dependencies for a build, does it?
