update-alternatives: unknown argument '--quiet'

[JLee183]

Hello,

I want to install 'build-essential' but, there is a problem on update-alternative-opkg.

I rebuilt an edison image with PACKAGE_CLASSES ?= "package_deb" to use apt-get.

so, I can command apt-get successfully.

However, when I run "apt-get install build-essential", there is a compatible problem(I think).

As I know, update-alternative-opkg don't have 'quiet' option.

Do any one know a solution for this problem?

Hello jaemyoun_lee,

By default the package packagegroup-core-buildessential is installed on Edison but in case it is missing from your image, you can get it with the repo that comes pre-set on Edison with the command opkg install packagegroup-core-buildessential. In case the repo is also missing from the image you can set it up by following this guide: https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/managing-devkit-libraries-intel-edison-or-intel-galileo-bo... Upgrading Intel® IoT Developer Kit libraries

I understand that you would like to use apt-get to install this package but at least for this time I would suggest you to do it with the opkg command. This is because the apt-get repos have a lot packages that are not compatible with Edison and you might encounter issues such as this one.

I already performed it, but the problem is not solved.

Actually, I want to install docker customized for 32bit host OS.

What happened when you tried opkg? Did you get an error message? If so, can you share a screenshot of the error message?

Peter.

[JLee183]

opkg cannot find packages.

[Pedro_M_Intel]

I see, were you able to install packagegroup-core-buildessential with opkg? I can see that you are trying other packages as well, I assume you tried to install them with asp-get as well, how did it go? Did it work? In case it didn't I believe the reason why is what I mentioned above, a lot of the packages contained in the apt-get repos are not compatible with Edison. In that case your best option would be to build those packages from source.

Peter.

[JLee183]

The package, packagegroup-core-buildessential, was already installed.

The building with compiling source code also had compatible issues regardless of opkg.

I almost gave up installing docker on Edison.

[Pedro_M_Intel]

So, your final objective is to install docker on Edison, right? Sorry, it wasn't clear to me until now. Have you already tried https://docs.docker.com/v1.5/contributing/devenvironment/ this guide? If so, what happened? Did the build process fail? Or did it ask for missing dependencies? Could you share a screenshot of the issue?

Peter.

That needs Docker to build Docker.

The error message is follows:

root@edison:~/git/docker# make build

hack/make/.detect-daemon-osarch: line 11: docker: command not found

hack/make/.detect-daemon-osarch: line 11: docker: command not found

/bin/sh: docker: command not found

[Pedro_M_Intel]

Let me try to build Docker, I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible.

Peter.

[JLee183]

I see. I will be looking forward to a positive answer.

Thanks, Peter.

Unfortunately we were not able to build Docker on Edison, we found out that Docker seems to require a 64-bit system. Although the guide mentions a successful built it on a 32-bit system, keep in mind that Edison is not a full Linux system but an embedded Linux system based on the Yocto Project. At this time, Docker may not be supported on Edison. We suggest you to contact Docker to see if they can help you build this package on Edison, you can contact them in https://www.docker.com/company/contact Contact Docker.
