wget http://downloads.freesmartphone.org/Makefile
make setup
make fso-gta02-milestone5-image

That's the essence of the instructions at downloads.freesmartphone.org and it 
assumes you have the prequisites for OE installed, but you would most likely 
need them anyway.

You could stick it all together manually, but it's a _lot_ more complicated 
than using OE.
