At this page i will gather all informations about set up a buildtree, using bitbake etc... One Day it will be a HowTo.
The following hints & tips are from memory after some experimentation so apologies if they are not quite right.
Initially I used the guide at:
http://familiar.handhelds.org/build-setup.html
I made the following adjustments to get up and running under Gentoo Linux:
add curl to use flags in /etc/make.conf (if you're lazy 'emerge ufed' and use that instead). This can also be done by editing your packages.use file as follows
echo "dev-util/git curl" >> /etc/portage/package.use
then
emerge dev-util/git
make sure bitbake is unmerged (emerge --unmerge bitbake) as it will conflict with the copy in downloaded from the git tree.
emerge -C bitbake
if you like setup/build-env.sh can be modified as follows before you run it...
79c79,80 < "h6300" "HP iPAQ h63xx Series"` --- > "h6300" "HP iPAQ h63xx Series" \ > "simpad" "SIEMENS SIMpad Series"`
This will ensure that the correct machine setting is in you conf/auto.conf
MACHINE = "simpad"
you should also add the following line to your conf/auto.conf when editing auto.conf or local.conf don't leave any spaces at the begining of a line
MACHINE_KERNEL_VERSION = "2.4"
you may also need to set the following (bitbake will tell you if there is a problem anyway.)
ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION ?= "0"
if you want the psyco JIT compiler can be used to help speed up the operation of bitbake.
emerge psyco
