**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Mon Jun 28 02:59:57 2010 Jun 28 13:50:07 Do I have to make my own angstrom-image to develop applications for the beagleboard or can I use an existing image from the internet? I read many tutorials, but angstrom and openembedded all that stuff doesn't come clear to me. Jun 28 13:52:23 I deleted my tmp/sysroots directory. how can I get bitbake to re-create it? Jun 28 13:53:11 mollitz: no you don't need to create your own angstrom-image. you do however need a cross compiler, and it is convenient to have openembedded build one for you Jun 28 13:53:54 serp_: so it is impossible or unrecommended to develop directly on the beagleboard? Jun 28 13:54:47 it's not impossible, but it seems everybody recommends not doing it Jun 28 13:54:56 k Jun 28 13:55:01 build times will be very long for one Jun 28 13:55:51 serp_: There are a few tutorials and I am not sure which one is the best for me. I only want to develop an application on my laptop, bring it to the device and execute it. It should use qt embedded. Can you help me? Jun 28 13:57:26 I don't know how qt embedded works Jun 28 13:57:46 is there a recipe for it? Jun 28 13:58:37 seems like it Jun 28 13:58:45 serp_: i think so Jun 28 13:59:03 this is probably easiest http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/simplified-development-setup Jun 28 13:59:41 I just got that Jun 28 14:02:45 all right. then follow the instruction in the script and install qt4-embedded instead of nano Jun 28 14:02:59 that will set up a cross compiler and the qt4-embedded library for you Jun 28 14:05:11 serp_: ok. only bitbake qt4-embedded? and after that how to bring all that on my board? Jun 28 14:14:48 after that finished you should have a cross-compiler that runs on your desktop computer and generates binaries for you device Jun 28 14:15:09 just run that on the source files and then copy the resulting binary to the device Jun 28 14:16:42 I find it very convinient to share files using NFS Jun 28 17:07:37 does anyone know where the autobuild images for unstable are nowadays? http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/unstable/autobuild/ is quite empty :( Jun 28 17:15:14 if only i could figure out how to use narcissus images on this akita device :P Jun 28 19:59:28 does this channel ever come alive? Jun 28 19:59:53 makes me want to do a /ctcp #angstrom *poke* Jun 28 19:59:56 ;) **** ENDING LOGGING AT Tue Jun 29 02:59:57 2010
