I`ve been through the development pages on the wiki a couple of times, and its still not entirely clear to me how everything fits together. I downloaded the toolchain listed on http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain and im trying to get a simple python hello world "built" and packaged using bitbake. Im trying bitbake instead of manually running om-make-ipkg since I gather having a .bb file is the way to go. However its not clear to me how I would get an *.pkg from bitbake. Just running bitbake with the .bb file does not seem to work. Any clarification on this issue would greatly be appreciated.
