I totally agree with that, based on the frustration I had in the past several days.
First I tried out Centos 4.6. The reason for that is the only Linux system officially supported in our company is RHEL4. I might be able to get in house help regarding IT setup. But the tools coming with Centos 4.5 are too old. Then I switched to Centos 5.2, the tools (autoconf) are still too old to run image-creator autogen.sh. OK, fine. If inside Moblin, people are using FC9, I reformatted my disk, and installed FC9. Now image-creator autogen.sh can run, good. The first time I typed "sudo image-creator", I got "Unsupported distribution: distribution.redhat". OK, I guess the next thing I will do is reformatting my disk again, and install Ubuntu Gusty. And try it out again. Now anyone has comment on http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/07/23/moblin_reworked/ ? "Re-jigged Intel mobile Linux stack dumps Ubuntu". Does this means we need to switch host environment again or it is just how target packages are managed? I had hoped for embedded system, the build environment itself is well isolated from the host environment. Seems not true for image-creator. Also it is a little too "black box". We need to figure out what is happening behind the pretty GUI. Why not using a white-box design? best regards, Guo On Tue, Aug 5, 2008 at 4:09 AM, Tero Saarni <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 21:43, Rusty Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > The fact that a particular target stack is using deb or using rpm > > packaging should not effect your choice of host distribution. > > I wouldn't say it should not effect the choice.
