I am trying to build an Angstrom tar.bz2 root file system for at91sam9g45efes.
I've been following the instructions on the http://www.at91.com web-site.
I have bitbake set-up, OpenEmbedded, and the oe_at91sam overlay.
I have git checkout for the origin/stable/2009 branch and a git pull.

I am trying to bitbake x11-at91sam9-image

It seems that some of the source repositories are off-line / missing.
For example, I could not get update-rc.d_0.7 from anoncvs.handhelds.org, but I was able to find an alternate source for this on-line, which I downloaded and continued with the build.

However, I am stuck now with no SVN download for gconf-dbus-2.16.0+svnr641-r0 from svn://developer.imendio.com/svn/gconf-d ... proto=http
Here are the errors:

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://developer.imendio.com/svn/gconf-dbus/trunk': could not connect to server (http://developer.imendio.com)
ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting
ERROR: Build of /home/mwiegand/angstrom-setup-scripts/sources/openembedded/recipes/gnome/gconf-dbus_svn.bb do_fetch failed

Is there an alternate source for the gconf-dbus-2.16.0+svnr641-r0 package?

I have found
http://ipkg2.nslu2-linux.org/sources/sv ... gconf-dbus
and
ftp://64.50.238.52/.2/nslu2/sources/svn ... gconf-dbus

However, I do not know whether these are suitable to use, nor how to edit gconf-dbus_svn.bb to use these sources without getting errors about "no entry in conf/checksums.ini"

Any help on this would be appreciated.

Try to follow these steps:
a. download file http://download.gnome.org/sources/GConf ... 6.0.tar.gz
b. move and rename this file to:
/stuff/oe_sources/trunk_developer.imendio.com_.svn.gconf-dbus_606_.tar.gz
c. remove any file in stamps dir
rm -rf /stuff/tmp/stamps/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gconf-dbus-2.16.0+svnr641-r0.do_*
d. restart make:bitbake base-image
e. they unpack the files but unfortunately in a wrong dir.
f. Go in /stuff/tmp/work/armv5te-angstrom-linux-gnueabi/gconf-dbus-2.16.0+svnr641-r0 and move all files present GConf-dbus-2.16.0 dir in the trunk dir
g. restart bitbake

Is not completely automatic procedure but is the workaround that I have found.

Jaws,

Many thanks for the helpful suggestions. I did just now find some alternate sources for this package, and I think for any other required package whose official repository might be offline.

ftp://www.linux4sam.org/pub/oe/oe_sources/
This held a version 606 of gconf-dbus together with the md5sum which I could download to my WORKDIR and continue build with. I figured out how to adjust the version number from 641 back to 606 in file /stuff/openembedded/conf/distro/include/sane-srcrevs.inc

But once I'd seen how the package file got named, I did a Google search for version 641 of the package directly, and I found that at
http://limpens.net/trac/at91-kit-trac/b ... nk/sources

I hope this information may help somebody else.
Thanks again.
Mark

Thanks to you.
your link are useful, ...but it didn't resolve my issue.

After the gconf I think you'll be blocked on the update-alternatives-cworth_0.99.154.bb recipies

Did you solve in any way?


thanks
J

I strongly suggest you not to use /stable/2009 branch, use main instead or try following KaeilOS instructions in the download page.
