Developing software since 1980, hardly a novice, trying to get Yocto to build from a base port supplied to me, it doesnt, it produces the most odd errors, the error on the screen, the comments in the log dont match, I want to put some debug in to find out whats going on, the instructions in https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev/dev-manual/debugging.html dont output anything to log or screen, the comments that I dont want to see anything on the console are frankly wrong - I WANT to see what is happening so I can workout what ISNT working. Credit me with a little brain power.

I am an old grey beard, frustrated as hell with the tools that get more and more complex and less and less able to do the job, I want a hammer to bash in a nail, not something that requires a doctorate and 200 years of rocket science study that might, if the wind is in the right direction, the planets aligned correctly, the dog behaving itself and my blood pressure below that of an imminent heart failure might produce a plasticine mallet that wont darned work anyway.
