Building Yocto linux image - “bitbake image-full” error

Question

I am trying to build the Yocto linux image. I am following the process given in Sergey's Blog. Unzip the file:

$ 7z x Board_Support_Package_Sources_for_Intel_Quark_v0.7.5.7z

Unzip meta-clanton_v0.7.5.tar.gz:

$ tar xzvf Board_Support_Package_Sources_for_Intel_Quark_v0.7.5/meta-clanton_v0.7.5.tar.gz

Change directory to meta-clanton_v0.7.5:

$ cd meta-clanton_v0.7.5

Run setup.sh:

$ ./setup.sh

Source poky/oe-init-build-env script, giving it the build directory (yocto_build) as a parameter:

$ source poky/oe-init-build-env yocto_build

Run bitbake to build the image:

$ bitbake image-full

But I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bitbake", line 275, in <module>
    ret = main()
  File "/usr/bin/bitbake", line 222, in main
    bb.msg.init_msgconfig(configuration.verbose, configuration.debug,
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'init_msgconfig'

Please help. Thanks in advance.

I couldn't find the 0.7.5 version, so I've tried this on the 1.0.0 version.

Extracting meta-clanton-v1.0.0.tar.gz

cd meta-clanton_v1.0.0
./setup.sh
. poky/oe-init-build-env yocto_build
bitbake image-full -e

Running bitbake image-full does also start the build without any issue. (I haven't let it complete though.)

I'm slightly worried about your traceback, which includes "/usr/bin/bitbake" . If you have installed a bitbake package on your build-machine, please uninstall it. The poky-git repo does include it's own copy of bitbake, which will ensure that you're the version of bitbake you're using is compatible with the rest of your meta-data.

(I'd also suggest updating to the latest meta-clanton release).
