still trying to get a successful "bitbake base-image" for angstrom on BB

i apologize for continuing to gnaw on this issue but i'd like to
resolve whatever problems keep me from getting a full "bitbake
base-image" for angstrom. here's my working environment:

  * fully-updated fedora 11 preview
  * OE "org.openembedded.dev" branch
  * hand-rolled bitbake 1.8.12, built from tarball, installed in /usr/bin
  * local.conf: MACHINE = "beagleboard"

so, the first question -- if i want to start clean (but without having
to delete all my downloads), all i do is remove the entire
"angstrom-dev" directory. is that sufficient? i'm not aware of any
intermediate results being stashed anywhere else and that seems like
the safest way to not have any leftover cruft messing up a new build.

  and here's the current bitbake error:

...

  and here's the salient part of the aforementioned log file (which
doesn't really provide any extra info):

No such file or directory

  i'm open to suggestions, and i'm willing to keep testing fixes until
this finally works.

Why? Following http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/building-angstrom will get you something working, while using the .dev branch you will get serious breakage everyday. The stable/2009 branch also includes a proper copy of bitbake.

yup, i just noticed that so i'm back on the stable branch.

I just built base-image against stable on Fedora 8.
