Hi guys I agree with Thomas_Faust_(Intel).
Over the last several weeks I been trying to get Yocto to add one simple packages like mono to work!
In Debian & Ubuntu it was "$sudo apt-get install mono" one line that was it completely done.
I've gone through hundreds of hours trying to get Yocto to package "meta-mono" on my Galileo with no success.
C# is a popular language it should be reasonable that someone else would want to install these libraries from http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/meta-mono
Has anyone found a active Yocto support forum or active community that could help?
The article above "How to enable the Yocto-provided package management capability" does Thomas and I no good for the reason "meta-mono" recipe errors out in the bitbaske process and Thomas is trying to add one simple library from the linux command prompt. Why can't we have vanilla linux "with apt-get or public popular package manager" on the Galileo SD boards as a simple download from Intel?
I'm currently able to get Debian to run on my Galileo and would like to share my image on Dropbox for the other developers that need "apt-get".
May Intel please provide the instructions how to install all the Galileo board dependencies on a vanilla linux distribution like"Debian, Ubuntu and or FreeBSD"?
When I install Debian on SD card I lose "Sketch", "GPIO" and "CLLOADER". Basically end up with a Galileo board running linux with no Arduino support.
I see in the latest version http://downloadmirror.intel.com/23197/eng/Board_Support_Package_Sources_for_Intel_Quark_v0.9.0.7z image-full.bb the following dependencies I'm going to build one virtual add all dependencies if successful will post and share this SD image with other developers that need full vanilla linux. So that other developers that don't have the large time investment and learning curve for Yocto & Bitbake build process. I would be a fan of Yocto if I could just get some simple libraries "meta-mono", "mono-xsp", "monotools-server" & "mod-mono" up and running with out Bitbake errors during the build.
MAGE_INSTALL += "ethtool pciutils"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "strace"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "linuxptp"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "libstdc++"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "dmidecode"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "opencv nodejs"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "python python-modules python-numpy python-opencv"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "alsa-lib alsa-utils alsa-tools"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "connman wireless-tools wpa-supplicant bluez4"
IMAGE_INSTALL += "ppp openssh"
This Galileo board has allot of promise and is way more appealing to developers than the ARM based processors that is losing linux support. Intel gets much more market share and respect with this board all us developers need now is vanilla linux with public package manager like apt-get so we can write applications in other languages like C# etc.
