Hi folks,
I want to make some changes in one of the openmoko applications (i.e.,
battery applet), compile it and generate an ipkg file. Install it on
the neo. Generate a patch to send to bugzilla or mailing list. How can
I do it, is it written in somewhere?
Hi Emre,
There are instructions on the wiki for getting a basic build environment
set up for openmoko, and there are more detailed instructions at
openembedded.org
openembedded is a good build system, but it can be challenging to set
up. You will need a linux box for it with a fair amount of CPU, mem and
disk (~10GB)

You will need to modify the bitbake recipe for (e.g. battery-applet,
although that is probably not the actual recipe name) and then once it
compiles and works as you like, run a 'mtn diff' to generate the patch
to submit.
(these instructions would work for general openembedded packages, I
assume the same holds for openmoko)

josh
