Actually, the output from running the FsoMakefile is *exactly* the same output you get from running bitbake commands manually. And the configuration files produced by the 'setup' target in the FsoMakefile are *exactly* the same configuration files you would create manually. So I just don't get why people say that using a Makefile doesn't tell you much about what is going on under the hood. I think the difference is whether someone actually cares to look what is going on or not. > I have set up the build environment as per the instructions and have > used openembedded before for building for gumstix boards but the > instructions bitbake fso-image do not work. http://tinderbox.openembedded.net/packages/348140/ shows that it does work on the FSO autobuilder. And the configuration of that autobuilder is public in the contents of the Makefile and the two files in the http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/fso-milestone5/conf/ area, so it should be reproducible too. -- Rod _______________________________________________ Smartphones-userland mailing list Smartphones-userland@linuxtogo.org http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/smartphones-userland
