Yocto setup

[FlYnN91]

Hi, I am trying to setup Monkey on yocto following the guide from here, but it seems that it fails to build when executing bitbake monkey.

This is the build output:

The output of the said log file is identical, but I thought to post it anyway.

[mr-mop]

You are getting the help text from the configure script, it is trying to tell you something. Perhaps it is suggesting that your configure command line options are wrong?

You're using v1.5.4, so downloading the tar file of that release, and manually running the configure command with the options you specified gives the same result.

Going through your options to configure individually, it appears the offending option is --disable-static

Remove that one and the configure step works fine.
