There's some documentation available on scratchbox.org, though I'm not sure of it's current state. A quick glance suggests that at least the installation section is somewhat up-to-date with the current version, though stuff has happened since 2005... But the basic installation and usage is still much the same. > First, trying to describe the use of the sb-menu application is difficult. > Describing how to navigate around a VT100-ish interface just seems absurd.

As http://scratchbox.org/documentation/user/scratchbox-1.0/html/installdoc.html#cctarget mentions briefly, there's a CLI version of the configuration tool called sb-conf. It can do everything that sb-menu does. > Second, I can get information about my configuration.

The above already contains much of the configuration scratchbox really has on a target. If you want to see the full list, take a look at /targets/TARGET_NAME.config, though I doubt there's anything useful there apart of what the above and 'sb-conf show' will tell you. If you are looking for toolchain-specific stuff (like how it's configured etc), that's not controlled in any way by sb nor is there really any record of what is in the toolchains apart from any documentation carried with them... -- Kalle Vahlman, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by http://movial.fi Interesting stuff at http://syslog.movial.fi _______________________________________________ Scratchbox-users mailing list Scratchbox-users@lists.scratchbox.org http://lists.scratchbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/scratchbox-users
