Yeah, I noticed that you use "build system" for OE, sorry :-) Okay, how about "build tool" for "make" and its functional equivalents ? I think we agree that OE isn't what you want to do development. Yet several people in Openmoko seem to be using "bitbake" as a synonym for "make" for things they recompile all the time. I'm not sure why. Either they misunderstood, or perhaps someone felt a bit too enthusiastic about OE and led them in the wrong direction. It's probably also not what you want to have to use to just install package foo. Instead, you'd expect the distribution maker (for whom using OE is a good idea) to provide something for you that you can readily install. By the way, I find John Lee's toolchain quite handy and hassle-free for almost all my development work. (For the rest, I just wait until I can pick it up from the daily build.) Doesn't have tslib, though, so no luck for Andy :-( - Werner
