Hello, I am trying to recompile the dey-image-graphical image after a bitbake dey-image-graphical -c cleanall. Now, when i compile, bitbake fails and the following error comes out: [i]| checking whether to build gtk-doc documentation… no | checking for xsltproc… /home/belem/workspace/ccimx6sbc/tmp/sysroots/x86\_64-linux/usr/bin/xsltproc | checking for library containing clock\_gettime… none required | checking for BLKID… no | configure: error: in `/home/belem/workspace/ccimx6sbc/tmp/work/cortexa9hf-vfp-neon-dey-linux-gnueabi/udev/182-r7/build': | configure: error: The pkg-config script could not be found or is too old.

This package is well installed but the problem seems to be the PKG\_CONFIG variable. How can i specify to bitbake the PKG\_CONFIG path? I tried with export PKG\_CONFIG=/…/…/… just before executing the bitbake compilation, but that did not work. Has anyone an idea? ---

looks like you are on DEY 1.6.2 Try upgrading Yocto to 1.6.5 first: [http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90001423\_D.pdf](http://ftp1.digi.com/support/documentation/90001423_D.pdf) then upgrade workspace projects: Updating existing projects When updating your installation of Digi Embedded Yocto, you will need to erase the tmp and sstatecache directories from existing projects and build them from scratch. Leaving the directories intact may result in problems in the build and the final images. If it still fails try starting workspace project from scratch ---
