10:11.22hwyjoin #yocto
10:13.11hwySome packages build with autotools for linux, but use CMake for cross-compiling to other targets (looking at you, protobuf). Specifically I'm trying to build nativesdk-protobuf for mingw32
10:14.10hwy... tried conditional inheritance, but that does not seem to work the way I need it to (i.e. at inheritance time, bitbake has not yet decided whether it's building for target or sdk).
10:14.49hwyAny ideas on how to enable cmake build for sdk only?
10:15.34rburtonwriting a new recipe might be the best solution, as that's not just all sdks but mingw sdks
10:16.11rburtonor, fix the autotools build.
10:16.17rburtoneverything else works fine...
10:16.42hwygood point. ack, will write a dedicated recipe. Thanks!
10:18.44rburtongive it a different name, have it PROVIDES the existing name, package into the existing names, then you might be able to set PREFERRED_PROVIDER_protobuf_class-nativesdk_mingw32 = "protobuf-cmake"
10:18.59rburtonthe other alternative is can protobuf use cmake for building on/for linux
10:20.51hwyFrom how I understand upstream documentation, cmake is not recommended for linux, so I'll stick to the mingw32 special case.

16:22.56kergotherk. oe has been around for 17 years now? i feel old
16:23.16Croftonshould we have a party?
16:23.24Croftonand what are you considering the birth?
16:24.51kergoththe exact date isn't entirely clear, but i know the irc discussions that formed the initial design occurred around the end of jan to the middle of feb, iirc
16:25.01kergoththink i have the dates written down somewhere or other
16:25.28CroftonWe rally need to give a presentation of th ehistory of OE and try explaining how we have survived this long
16:27.35JaMabut first we should have that party
16:27.42JaMaalready started with 2 beers
16:30.49kergothCrofton: probably not a bad idea. it might help folks with their conceptual understanding to hear some of the reasons behind its current design and implementation, both from the beginning and the major changes and why they were done
16:31.11kergothi have a doc somewhere where i started such a thing, probably would need updating and fleshing out though
16:35.11JaMayes, the part how poky and then oe-core was created is interesting for many people not only from historical reasons, but because they still don't understand it today
16:40.00Croftonthe part where the YP sprung fully formed, like a virgin birth :)

16:56.25khemits fun to watch people reaction when you have geen tea in beer mug and drive your kids to school in morning ..
16:56.35kergothha
16:58.19khemI am sure some of them must of thinking of calling child services immediately ;)
16:58.49khemmind constructs
16:59.21khemI think oe has cornered itself by ignoring feeds
17:00.30khemOE is like a F1 car, but every developer drives maybe Toyota
17:02.10Croftonfeeds are a service by distro engineers
17:02.16Croftonbut You have a point
17:06.39khemCrofton: how do you recruit more poeple into user/dev community
17:06.54khemmake it easy to use
17:12.06CroftonI like this train of thought
17:13.02khemso give them something easy to start
17:13.28khemI had a young kid and he figured out building a package on debian in a day
17:13.42khemfor OE 3 weeks and he still is not sure
