I am a newbie to PVR Set top boxes development. I would like to work on a UI customisation for a PVR set top box. So when i searched, i found out Open PLI. So i followed their basic tutorial which seemed very easy to accomplish from here. I have done all the steps without a hitch except the last one. When i first ran the last command MACHINE=dm8000 make image in terminal for doing the test build, first i got the error that /usr/bin/env 'python3\r' is Not a file or directory. Then i found out that it is the CRLF and LF line returning problem between Linux and Dos. Then i fixed it by converting the whole bitbake folder and its contents to unix formatted line endings using the dos2unix terminal tool. Then i noticed some jobs running, but again i hit the problem where the Checksum of the licences from the openembedded repository didn't match the downloaded one. So i went to the openembedded official repository and then replaced the local ones with the correct ones and that issue is fixed. Then now i started getting another problem that the tools from openembedded-core/meta/recipes-xxxxxx are failing. The log of the current issue i am facing is as below

I am not sure what is the problem. But when i looked at the tutorial and forum it was written with Ubuntu 12.02 and 14.04 in mind. But i am using 18.04. Can it be a problem?
My System Config: Intel-i7, 256 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM, Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS.
The entire problem is due to the CRLF vs LF issue that you fixed for bitbake itself. Run that tool over all of the layers you checked out, or ideally figure out why the line endings are Windows-style and fix that: maybe you did the initial clone in Windows before moving to Linux? If so, just re-clone in Linux.
