<div dir="ltr">building it is what makes all the difference, you have the source so you can modify one line of code, rebuild and test it.. I also think the building_fso page is confusing, because the second part of page talks about directories that don't exist using the makefile procedure, so you cannot gradually pass from automatic to manual.. but i admit that i didn't look much into the openembedded page, so probably i must just understand better.<br>
<br>anyway, using the automatic procedure (the makefile) i have some problems:<br>1) the build stops at the ttf-liberation-0.2-r2 package, install phase, and the install log is empty<br>2) if i issue a make update openembedded complains that it don't know where to update from... i actually know less than him, so the only way to update the distribution for me is to delete all and restart from the wget makefile step..<br>
this is the error i get:<br><i><br>roby@roby-laptop ~/openmoko/fso-makefile $ make update<br>( cd common ; git pull )<br>Already up-to-date.<br>( cd bitbake ; svn up )<br>At revision 1092.<br>( cd openembedded ; git pull )<br>

<br>4) last but not least, the fso image i have created (fso-testing, removing the ttf-liberation package) is not able to connect to the gsm network, and write "No service" over the band meter icon. Is this expected?<br>
<br>anyway, i will try to flash the prebuilt image, but i would like to know how that images are built if on my pc it actually fails.. any other got the ttf-liberation problem?<br><br>roberto previdi<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

</div>Do you need to build it?<br>
<br>
you can download an image for milestone 2 from<br>
<a href="http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone2/" target="_blank">http://downloads.openmoko.org/framework/milestone2/</a><br>
<br>
Apparently milestone 3 will be out in a day or two...<br>
