omview & community repository

[Tick Chen]

Hi Hendrik, 
 The omview v32 had been put on. :-)
For application developers who just want to create their own
applications, we will suggest using meta-toolchain only. 

But if you are very interesting in hacking the whole system or want to
provide bb files, we may need to play with OE for a while. ;-)

For OE stuff, 
you can do this.  
make sure you have 20Gb+ disk space, and a fast
computer, with ubuntu or debian (I only tested these two.)
$ cd ~/;mkdir moko;cd moko;
$ echo "export OMDIR=\"$HOME/moko\"" > setup-env
$ echo "export BBPATH=\"${OMDIR}/build:${OMDIR}/openmoko\"" >> setup-env
$ echo "export PYTHONPATH=\"${OMDIR}/bitbake/libbitbake\"" >> setup-env
$ echo "export PATH=\"${OMDIR}/bitbake/bin:${PATH}\"" >> setup-env
$ git clone git://git.openmoko.org/git/openmoko.git openmoko
$ svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/bitbake/branches/bitbake-1.8 
$ ln -sf bitbake-1.8 bitbake
$ mkdir -p build/conf; cp local.conf build/conf
$ pushd openmoko;
There is a sample local.conf in attached file. 

Before building stuff you may need to setup the environment. 
$ cd ~/moko;
$ source ./setup-env
$ echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr

To build the whole Om2008.8 series image. (This step is optional)
$ bitbake openmoko-asu-image
Leave it for couple of hours, doing your own stuff, or pray.....

To create your own bb file, you may want to look those bb files in
${OMDIR}/openmoko/packages/ 
There is a simple sample:
http://code.google.com/p/comic-reader/source/browse/trunk/data/comic-reader_svn.bb
you can create a directory
$ mkdir -p $HOME/moko/openmoko/packages/omview
edit $HOME/moko/openmoko/packages/omview/omview_svn.bb
$ bitbake omview
If everything goes well, you will find your package in
${HOME}/moko/build/tmp/deploy/glibc/opk/armv4t

It's good to split your packages into theme and application, and you may
need to take care about the dependency. Dependency really matters.

Happy Hacking
Tick
