</div>great that its working for you, looking forward to future news of<br>
your .ipk URL's ..<br>

</div>since where did i say that i couldn't follow the instructions on the<br>
wiki?<br>
<br>
<br>
the issue is that there is no one stable, common, build system - or<br>
distribution channel - for developers to pop their stuff into, and<br>
with the moving targets of 'fso' vs. 'asu' vs 'om2007.2' vs<br>
'underground' vs '&etc', its a bother.<br>
<br>
much more fun, right now, to hack code *on* the machine itself, put up<br>
with slow (actually not bad considering how much code gets written in<br>
between compiles) build times, but have a development environment that<br>
sits on a 512m SD card rather than .. 12 gigs, not counting the VM<br>
backups i've been doing over 12 months of tracking mokomakefile ..<br>

<br>
</div>please, do not assume i am a fool unless you would consider like<br>
countenance. its not the hand-holding or the trick makefiles. its<br>
the dire lack of a dictator to rally around and form a federation ..<br>
and as a result, actually, building apps for the phone *with* the<br>
phone is turning out to be, frankly, a lot more workable - and<br>
lightweight - than over a year of mokomakefile groupthink right about<br>
now ..<br>
