Openmoko Options

Am I the only one who would like to see a port of OpenMoko for Zaurus?

Just found this digging around in koen's blog:

The short and sweet guide to building openmoko for Ångström

This howto assumes you already have a working OE setup.

Step 1:
set DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1-oabi" in your local.conf
Execute the following commands:
bitbake gcc-cross
bitbake -b packages/uboot/uboot-gta01_svn.bb

Step 2:
set DISTRO="angstrom-2007.1" in your local.conf
add ASSUME_PROVIDED += "uboot-gta01" to your local.conf

Step 3:
bitbake openmoko-image

Yes, I was aware that people were (or intrnding) building openmoko in angstrom as a result of web searching months ago.

Hence the initial reply.

I think the original post ws looking for something more like an official packaged release.

I admit I don' visit the Amgstrom site very often. Right now my impression of the whole OE approach is that it is a wondderful thing for the advancement of portable linux, but kind of a headache from a useability perspective. I strongly suspect (given the number of OE people somehow involved with or connected to openmoko) that when the neo release 2 get close, and real commericial openmoko products hit the 'shelves' we will see a sudden drastic imporvement in OE based distro useability--possibly even a stable branch. Til then, I'm not really keeping close tabs.

you got me on the firefox thing--- If I'd read the mailinglist I'd know where in the ecology of angstrom firefox was broken, and not expect a fix too soon.
