Sorry for violating etiquette here and thanks for the answer.
I wish I could formulate my question more accurately but I am just
confused with multiple compilation tools after reading wiki.meego.com.
  1) OBS server
  2) 'osc build'
  3) 'build' script
  4) MeegoSDK
  5) Madde (there is very little information about this one at wiki.meego.com)
I would be happy if someone could shed some light on differences between them ?

And which one should I use to cross compile
  a) individual package
  b) Bunch of packages referenced by  .ks file
for a Beagle Board  ?

Could anyone  please  answer if my conclusion is right or wrong?
There is a kickstart file (.ks) that lists all components that should
be placed in the target rootfs.
As .ks is being processed, mic-image-creator  downloads binary
packages from repository and installs to rootfs.  But the packages
should be compiled and put to repository manually beforehand. There is
no script that would compile all packages referenced by particular .ks
file. I have not found anything about such script on wiki pages.
Probably it is incorporated in OBS server ?

Thanks,
Andrew
