Yocto, How to install packages: python-serial python-pyparsing python-numpy python-wxgtk2.8

[Ilya_K_2]

Good day.

In debian i can to run:

sudo apt-get install python-opencv python-serial python-pyparsing python-numpy python-wxgtk2.8

How to do it on yocto?

1) build from source it all with building from source all dependencies?

2) is a good solution - install apt-get on yocto?

3) Maybe, i can to use opkg for installing it, (but in "opkg list" i can't see, for example, python-wxgtk2.8 ) ?

Thank you!

pyserial & numpy are available in the repo here: http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/i586/

We don't build all packages but you can certainly either rebuild from sources, rebuild yocto pacakges based on meta-intel-iot-devkit by adding them or simply using easy_install.

in order to use the repo on http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/i586/ you would need to create a file in "/etc/opkg" folder (e.g. /etc/opkg/iot-devkit.config") with the repo sources as entry, i.e. something like

cat > /etc/opkg/iot-devkit.config <<EOF
src iot-devkit http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/
EOF

afterwards you need to call

opkg update

with that you can "opkg search" for or "opkg install" packages likewise you're used to with "apt-get" (or yum or zypper or ...)

This is a uclibc based pkg repo, it cannot be used with this eglibc image. Only the iotdk.intel.com repo will work.

@Brendan:

only the iotdk.intel.com repo will work

well, any repo built against the Intel(R) IoT devkit would work. In particular it needs to be build against eglibc rather uclibc  

@Ilya:
apparently you have already set up a repo in /etc/opkg. Pls check the files in that folder. Make sure to use the right repo. If you have the Intel(R) IoT devkit image you can't use a uclibc based repository. If you use a uclibc image like you can't use http://iotdk.intel.com/repos/1.1/iotdk/ but rather a repo like AlexT repo.
