If you need gtk+ based GUI you can install core-image-sato-sdk rootfs and gmae toolchain and check if the packages you need are already in the rootfs. If they are not in the rootfs, you have to build them using eldk-5.3 source. If you need Qt for Embedded Linux based GUI, install core-image-qte-sdk and qte toolchain and check if needed packages are in the rootfs. If not, you will have to build them. > If I want to rebuild the eldk, the eldk source has to be downloaded > from the server by means of git.

I cannot reproduce the issue you report, cloning over git or http protocol works here. The problem seems to be on your side. > So can anyone tell me how I can download a stable 5.3 version > (by which I can rebuild eldk 5.3 from source) with any other > methods? You can also download a snapshot of the eldk-rel-v5.3 branch using http. Here is the branch http://git.denx.de/?p=eldk.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/eldk-rel-v5.3 On the right side of each commit you can see links to the tar.gz or tar.bz2 snapshots. Here is a link to the top most commit (eldk-5.3 release) snapshot as tar.bz2: http://git.denx.de/?p=eldk.git;a=snapshot;h=c2836a84b73e404fc21ddc573d9edcfe196bcd42;sf=tbz2 Best regards, Anatolij -- DENX Software Engineering GmbH, MD: Wolfgang Denk & Detlev Zundel HRB 165235 Munich, Office: Kirchenstr.5, D-82194 Groebenzell, Germany Phone: +49-8142-66989-0 Fax: +49-8142-66989-80 Email: [email protected] _______________________________________________ eldk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/eldk
