The Linux Distribution
- This document assumes you are running a reasonably current Linux-based host system.
- The examples work for both Debian-based and RPM-based distributions.
+ The Yocto Project has been tested and is known to work on the current releases minus one
+ of the following distributions.
+ Follow this link for more
+ information on distribution testing.
+
+ Ubuntu
+ Fedora
+ OpenSuse
+
+
+
+ The build system should be able to run on any modern distribution with Python 2.6 or 2.7.
+ Earlier releases of Python are known to not work and the system does not support Python 3 at this time.
+ This document assumes you are running one of the previously noted distributions on your Linux-based
+ host systems.
+
+ If you attempt to use a distribution not in the above list, you may or may not have success - you
+ are venturing into untested territory.
+ Refer to
+ OE and Your Distro and
+ Required Software
+ for information for other distributions used with the Open Embedded project, which might be
+ a starting point for exploration.
+ If you go down this path, you should expect problems.
+ When you do, please go to Yocto Project Bugzilla
+ and submit a bug.
+ We are interested in hearing about your experience.
