I need to include a working build of fossil in an ARM linux system (specifically a Gumstix Duovero based on the TI OMAP4 dual core family) that boots images cross-compiled using the Yocto Project (which absorbed the earlier Open Embedded project). To do this, I need a recipe for bitbake, the tool that actually manages the compilation.

Before I stumble around trying to craft an approach to this on my own, I wondered if anyone on the list has done it and would be willing to share their experiences?

An interesting aspect of bitbake is its preference for downloading sources itself from named versions at named upstream servers. It has a lot of understanding of Git built in, but none of fossil. But it can fetch tarballs from arbitrary URLs, so the existing /tarball and /zip URLs provided by fossil are likely sufficient.

The trickiness with a recipe for fossil would likely in getting the specifications for required libraries correct.
