 Is it mandatory to use a different build directory or is it possible to
 do this under the same build dir? (I am trying, but maybe you can save
 me some re-compilation time...)

It depends, but I prefer to use one build for dir.

How to get involved (HELP!!!)

2007-01-24 Thread Jonathon Suggs
I'm a computer engineer and want to get involved.  All I'm seeing coming
across this mailing list is feature requests, basic inquiries, etc.  Is
there another list that is focused more on the development side of things? 

I'm a little lost on how this project is structured.  Can someone please
either respond back to this list or email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
more info.

I expect a devel-oriented mailing list to be opened too soon. But before
launch, I guess that FIC work forces are focussed on doing the launch.
And that's probably appropriate.

 I'm a little lost on how this project is structured.  Can someone please
 either respond back to this list or email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] with
 more info.

As someone else said, we've been asked to do some homework with the
OpenEmbedded.org build system. Maybe that was just to reserve adequate
space on the hard drive... (takes a lot!)
Furthermore, xoo (http://projects.o-hand.com/xoo/) should be useful for
application simulation (apparently, a full qemu-like emulation is not
mandatory).

I guess reading the documentation of bitbake and monotone might be
useful too wrt openembedded, as well as studying some of the GPE suite
applications. But well, maybe just wait until there's more information
available concerning the openmoko-specific APIs.

Jonathan,

If you visit the wiki that Marc refers to, you will find entries for the build
enviroment and emulators, so you can start writing, compiling, and testing
simple programs.

Add:

INHERIT += rm_work 

into conf/local.conf and you will get not needed stuff removed after 
build. Some stuff can broke with it.

Jonathan,

Probably, you're on your own right now. If I were you, I wouldn't make a
sourceforge project yet as in the announcement of Sean he mentioned this:

   Also, at this time, the following community dedicated websites
   will be available:

   * http://openmoko.org/ -- for the actual development community
   * http://wiki.openmoko.org/ -- for an official wiki of the project
   * http://bugzilla.openmoko.org/ -- for bug tracking
   * http://lists.openmoko.org/ -- for public mailing lists
   * http://planet.openmoko.org/ -- for an aggregated feed
   * http://projects.openmoko.org/ -- for user-contributed projects
--- That's what you want, I guess.

I don't think it would cause any harm - repositories are easy to move,
especially for the limited scope of pre-hardware apps.

I'd certainly be interested in taking a look at any project, and I would
have put something on sourceforge already if my project ideas had any
functionality yet ;-)

Michael,

English is not my native tongue and I certainly didn't mean we wouldn't help
anybody out. I just meant that we as a community have nothing more than this
list and the wiki for now. So apologies for that.

Regards,

Marc.

I would say use this mailing list, assuming, of course, that you're not
writing a complicated application and would post thousands of lines of
code.
But for simple applications I think most of us would welcome the
technical,
practical content.

And of course any results or interesting observations you make along the
way
should go on the temporary wiki.

 Thanks for the hint!

Please reply UNDER post.

 Btw, is it possible to build the applications in the native (build
 host) format too for running under xoo or are they built only in the
 target format (armv4t IIUC)?

MACHINE = native will use your host toolchain and will build binaries 
for your environment. You can also use MACHINE = progear (its my x86 
webpad config) and then use resulting packages/rootfs under chroot or 
qemu.

 [1] Maybe I wrong on the intended usage of openembedded btw: is a
 developper supposed to develop his/her application independently on a
 computer with the GPE (OpenMoko) environment available and then, later,
 use OpenEmbedded for cross-build only?

It is most comfortable way. As OpenMoko is X11 based then you can you can 
develop on desktop machine and then update OE recipes to build it for 
target device.
