Holger, thanks very much for the pointer to the org.openembedded.documentation branch! I had no idea that this was where the "user manual" (and nothing else apparently) lived. It seems from reading the Makefile that what I want is the output of "make html-nochunks". However, when I tried that, the resulting file "html-nochunks/index.html" was empty. This is the screen output from "make html-nochunks": ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMLLINT ./usermanual.xml CP ./html.css html-nochunks/docbook.css XSLTPROC html-nochunks ./usermanual.xml ID recommended on chapter: Introduction ID recommended on section: Overview ID recommended on section: History ID recommended on chapter: Metadata ID recommended on section: File Layout ID recommended on section: Syntax ID recommended on section: Classes ID recommended on section: Writing Meta Data (Adding packages) ID recommended on chapter: Getting OpenEmbedded ID recommended on section: Getting BitBake ID recommended on section: Getting OpenEmbedded ID recommended on section: Configuring OpenEmbedded ID recommended on section: Building Software ID recommended on chapter: Special features ID recommended on section: Debian package naming ID recommended on section: Shared Library handling (shlibs) ID recommended on section: BitBake Collections ID recommended on section: Overrides ID recommended on chapter: Common Use-cases/tasks ID recommended on section: Creating a new Distribution ID recommended on section: Adding a new Machine ID recommended on section: Adding a new Package ID recommended on section: Creating your own image ID recommended on section: Using a prebuilt toolchain to create you...

Can someone please tell me what I did wrong? (By the way, I haven't checked the BitBake manual yet.) -- Thanks, Joe Wells _______________________________________________ Oe mailing list [email protected] https://www.handhelds.org/mailman/listinfo/oe
