that's only part of the story! the stuff mokomakefile gets you is already prepared to be build with bitbake&cie -- which does not mean that everything builds at all (frinst vlc fails completely because it does not find libpostproc and no other package does provide it, the provided ortp.pc is useless sinbce all packages i tried to compile that needed that file failed to accept it). last not least i am not sure how up-to-date teh stuff mokomakefile checks out is -- i often get packages with numbers lower than the actual packages offered by the feeds, but that might be caused by my setup. since development means to alter existing code or creating your own you need far more -- to alter code you need at least something called a "layer" or so (need to dug into the issue further) because mokomakefile or bitbake or whatver stubbornly refuses to update modified files. creating your own code means you need to create your own bitbake receipt and so and so on. someone (with a rather scandinavic name) posted a link a while ago to his blog entry building ipk-packages w/o mokomakefile, which might be an easier way to develop own stuff, i did not try it (yet). _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
