Great. Once you finished the build I will give you a template of dm2 from git recipe.

I have this setting in my local.conf (the one under moko/build/conf once you finished `make setup') and it's a big time saver. GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_US.UTF-8" OE downloads everything and builds the toolchain by itself so the first time will be slow.

It's basically the same thing on the mokomakefile wiki page. Maybe we can enhance that page. > How I capture the built tree or decide what to put in git I dunno but it > seems I can try to move on. Check ~/moko/build/packages/openmoko/openmoko-dm2_svn.bb (or https://svn.internal.openmoko.org/trunk/OE-overlay/packages/openmoko/openmoko-dm2_svn.bb) You will see SRC_URI = "svn://svn.internal.openmoko.org/trunk/production_testing;module=dm2;proto=https" It actually means https://svn.internal.openmoko.org/trunk/production_testing/dm2 > | Since it's a public list here I would like to add: > | > | The internal OE overlay is for NDA stuff such as production testing > | software.
