\nBuild the “package-name” package.<\/p>\nbitbake -s<\/code>
\nList available packages after parsing all recipes. This will generate a lot of output due to sheer number of packages in the system! Best to redirect output to a file bitbake -s > packages.txt<\/code><\/p>\nbitbake --help<\/code>
\nPrint usage help.<\/p>\nRunning specific tasks<\/h3>\n
-c<\/code> flag. See below for examples of running specific tasks using the lighttpd package. If no task is specified, the “build” task is run. This is a generic task that depends on all the other necessary tasks to build a package (fetch, configure, compile, install, etc).<\/p>\nbitbake lighttpd -c listtasks<\/code>
\nView a list of possible tasks to run on the lighttpd package. <\/p>\nbitbake lighttpd -c clean
\nbitbake lighttpd<\/code>
\nClean a package, removing all source code, binaries, etc and rebuild it.<\/p>\ncd ${OETREE}\/build\/tmp\/deploy\/eglibc\/ipk\/armv5te\r\nscp lighttpd_1.4.28-r0.10_armv5te.ipk root@192.168.2.1:\/var\/tmp\/\r\nssh root@192.168.2.1\r\nopkg install \/var\/tmp\/lighttpd_1.4.28-r0.10_armv5te.ipk\r\n<\/pre>\nbitbake lighttpd -c compile -f<\/code>
\nForce bitbake to run the compile task (perhaps you changed the source after compiling).<\/p>\nbitbake lighttpd -c devshell<\/code>
\nOpen a new shell with the environment configured for development on the package. This can be very useful for debugging issues with compiling a package.<\/p>\nbitbake -b openembedded\/recipes\/lighttpd\/lighttpd_1.4.28.bb<\/code>
\nRuns BitBake on a single recipe file. This bypasses parsing all other recipes and operates only on the specified recipe. This can be useful to speed up development on a particular package when the package is being rebuilt frequently. Note that this skips building any dependencies and therefore they must already be built.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
