And am currently waiting for it to finish. Time elapsed is about an hour at the time of this post. Unfortunately, I’m on the road doing this with a virtual ubuntu machine on a macbook pro. I’m starting to think I need to postpone and wait till I get home to run on a dedicated linux machine. Can anyone tell me some minimum/maximum times for this build to complete given different machine specs.
The first time you build anything, it will take a while since
bitbake (OE) has to build all the needed tools (GCC, BINUTILS, etc)
first. Subsequent builds will be much faster.
You should be able to build just the kernel package in at most a few 10's
of minutes (it takes about 3 minutes on my fast multi-processor)
oh, you did not notice how much HDD space was totally exhausted just to build the kernel! My simple command “bitbake virtual/kernel” took 16GB of HDD space and a few hours of waiting.
Then I issued “bitbake u-boot” and it took other two hours and a few gigs of HDD either! I just wonder why building u-boot depends on bluez?? crap
