Trying to create sample linux mage with yocto prject but cause building error - yocto

Question

I tried to create a Linux image based on "yocto project mega Manuel".But I got an error in building image step.
I followed the mega Manuel.
I'm using Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
Error:

Is it the problem with this latest version or is it something else?

Answer 1

Why are you using such an old release of Yocto? 2.0.x was first released in 2015 and isn't supported on modern distributions. If you need to use 2.0.x then you can pick a patch from a recent release to fix autoconf, but I really do recommend using 2.5 (or 2.6, due to release any day now) instead.
