Yocto build error `package require hsi FAILED` about meta-xilinx-tools HOT 5 CLOSED

Depending on the host distro, one has to install libtinfo5 .

This library might be chrooted into sysroots-xsct/Scout/2019.1/, as libedit, which is also chrooted, needs it.

Thanks a lot for the help. Are the host dependencies of meta-xilinx-tools listed somewhere?
Shouldn't yocto deal with the dependencies something like DEPENDS += "ncurses-terminfo-native" in the respective recipe.
Or since you are probably not building the xilinx tools within yocto, should this library not come as part of the binaries you distribute?

See the entry "HOSTTOOLS" in conf/layer.conf.
This is the only place I know that validates the hosts for a given layer.
In my opinion, this library should have been chrooted like other ones into the xsct tarball.

BTW, this has nothing to do with yocto, it 's a xilinx toolset issue.

HOSTTOOLS += "ps" How is this related to libtinfo5 missing?

One could also use DEPENDS on native packages.

Probably this 😄

Yes, sorry I meant bitbake, not yocto.
