Paul, Thanks for the suggestion of referencing ArchLinux. I have written my own recipes, though not enough to feel competent yet. That was my next step, I just like to see if I relly need to invent the wheel or not before starting. Thanks for the response... I am off to write the recipe, the wonderful recipe of qiv.

It should be too complicated a program to write a recipe for though. I tend to look to Arch Linux for inspiration and to see if any extra patches are needed: https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/qiv. The syntax is different but you can see their dependencies, the lack of any custom patches and the fact that you just need to ensure that 'make' is called then copy the resulting binary and man page. Have you written your own recipes before? -- Paul Barker Email: p...@paulbarker.me.uk http://www.paulbarker.me.uk _______________________________________________ yocto mailing list yocto@yoctoproject.org https://lists.yoctoproject.org/listinfo/yocto
