btrfs-progs compiled statically in OE

March 14, 2024 — BarryK

OpenEmbedded calls the package "btrfs-tools". I have compiled it linked statically with musl. Recipe:

https://github.com/bkauler/oe-qky-kirkstone/commit/ab75d7c484a76ab237354d53dcc5831d0999f984

It required that 'util-linux' had to be recompiled, to build libblkid.a and libuuid.a:

https://github.com/bkauler/oe-qky-kirkstone/commit/d1d43ecf7ee4eae89177d754bbc82e1f0f14156f

I know that the btrfs-progs git site has it available as a static binary; however, mine is smaller, and I want to use it in the initrd which is not compressed.

I usually post OpenEmbedded-related posts in the "easy" category, not in the "oe" category, so here is a summary, going back in time to April 25, 2023:

There are likely to be some more posts in the "easy" category that have mention of OE.

Good! Though I only picked up posts with OE in the title.

OpenEmbedded project 20210828 uploaded

August 28, 2021 — BarryK

This blog supports posting in different categories, for example "oe", "easy" and "light". In theory, a post can be to more than one category, but I have never tested that. The OpenEmbedded "oe" project is intertwined with EasyOS "easy", so I often post OpenEmbedded news to the "easy" category. But that is a problem if you go to the "oe" URL, you won't see those posts:

https://bkhome.org/news/tag_oe.html

So, this post is to the "oe" category, with links to recent OpenEmbedded posts.

As I have pretty much decided to stay with the Dunfell-series for EasyOS, packages compiled in OpenEmbedded, have been through the exercise of updating and improving the OE build. These are the relevant posts over the last few days:

The latest OE-Dunfell project tarball is 'dunfell-20210828.tar.gz', uploaded here:

There are some large packages that are not compiled in OE, such as SeaMonkey. Reason, they are very cross-compiler unfriendly. I am planning to enhance woofQ with automated package compiler functionality in a running EasyOS.
