After googling a bit, I figured out that GMAE stands for Gnome Mobile and
Embedded.
It might be good to put this acronym somewhere in the manual.
(I'm still not sure if I need GMAE or not...)
Basically, GMAE means GTK+ 2 and bits of the GNOME stack.
A stealth plan of mine is to remove every trace of GMAE from Yocto.
It was an initiative Poky was involved with back in the OpenedHand
days that didn't really take off, and we're still carrying pieces of
it.
I get this question a lot. With the ability (new in 1.3) to build an SDK based
on the contents of any arbitrary image.. the meta-toolchain-gmae is simply not
necessary.
bitbake -c populate_sdk <image recipe>
Aha. Thanks very much.
Is this the preferred way to get a toolchain out of yocto?
That's exactly what I'm working on at the moment (well, after
fixing up some toolchain build issues I've encountered after
messing around a bit with the toolchain recipes...;-)
I don't know if it's the preferred "Yocto Project" way.. but it's the only way I
do it.
The code was implemented in the middle of the 1.3 process and does work in 1.3.
(However multilib support may not be there. There are a series of patches
pending for master that do enable the multilib support as part of the rpm/smart
work.)
