OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration

You encounter this error when you run Bitbake to start the build process.

ERROR: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration. Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).

Following is the list of potential problems/advisories:

Follow the below steps to resolve the above error.

Fix:

1. Make sure that bitbake runs as non-root.
2. Set the correct machine name in conf/local.conf file and run bitbake command from another terminal after the source environment setup. if the issue persists, follow the 3rd and 4th steps to resolve this.
3. After setup the build environment, you directly jump into the build directory. so from there, you run the below command.
   • $touch conf/sanity.conf
4. Sometimes you will get this issue due to the GCC version so open a new terminal on the system and install the below version of GCC.
   • $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jonathonf/gcc-7.3
   • $ sudo apt-get update
   • $ sudo apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7
   • $ sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7

Now you can check GCC version on your host system with the below command.

$gcc --version it should be 7.3 

Now you run the Bitbake and I am hoping your issue got resolved.
