Hi,

for the past week, I've been trying to build SHR as per the instructions from 
http://www.shr-project.org/trac/wiki/Building%20SHR

I've tried all the different v(shr-stable, testing, unstable, and even shr-
core). Building failed for various reasons. I can't list them all here, but I 
hope you can tell me what to do to build it.

My goal is to get a custom version of jamvm to build and run on the 
Freerunner. 

My Buildhost is x86_64 with Debian unstable using the parallel-build flags in 
local.conf.

The problems I've encountered so far are
- bootstrapping related: the bootstrapping directory lacked tclsh which was 
necessary to build certain packages. Then there were link errors with libxml2 
which I solved by building the -native version and copying that into the 
bootstrap directory. There were a few other packages that I fixed in the same 
way.
- dependency-related: calling bitbake multiple times fixed it, or manually 
building some -native packages fixed it

One suspicious thing that I'm wondering about is this in the configuration log:
Build Configuration:
BB_VERSION        = "1.13.3"
METADATA_BRANCH   = "master"
METADATA_REVISION = "error: object directory .git/objects/replace git object 
reference with relative path echo ../../../../openembedded/.git/objects/ git 
checkout master does not exist; check .git/objects/info/alternates.
b557ba5"
TARGET_ARCH       = "arm"
TARGET_OS         = "linux-gnueabi"
MACHINE           = "om-gta02"
DISTRO            = "shr"
DISTRO_VERSION    = "-20110819"
TARGET_FPU        = "soft"


One thing that I don't understand is why 'bitbake jamvm' would need a native 
X11 to be compiled. X11 for the target would be OK, but native? Not that I'd 
mind, but some problems of compiling X11 were not resolvable by me, the last 
one was that a configure script said "C compiler cannot create executables". 
And that after compiling hundreds of packages...

Grateful for any help to sort this out,
Christine
