bitbake problem

[jdoutt]

Once upon a time I could get bitbake to work!  Now, however, it fails to run to completion.

It complains about a "parsing error".  It should not even know about the directory "~/from_T30_jad/extracted/home/........

Any ideas about what might be going on?


the GUMSTIX-related output of 'env'  gives:

GUMSTIXBRANCH=/home/jdoutt/gumstix/gumstix-oe/com.gumstix.collection

the output from 'bitbake' is:

OK, found a bad line in

'/home/jdoutt/gumstix/gumstix-oe/user.collection/packages/gpregs/xx.bb'

But why was bitbake even looking in that file  .... I was asking it to do helloworld
     bitbake -c rebuild helloworld_1.0.0.bb

I corrected that error ..... now get a different one:

.............

Got it ........

need to do:        "bitbake -c rebuild helloworld"

NOT:                 "bitbake -c rebuild   helloworld_1.0.0.bb"
