---==== Welcome the bitbake VMware Player / QEMU image (2005/12/05) ====---

General:
  - Login as l/p: oe/oe (this account has full sudo)
  - Now compatible with VMware Player (which offers much faster compile speeds)
  - The OE "stuff" directory is in /home/oe/oe-build
  - There is no 'make clean' in OE, you can shutdown, delete & then recreate the oebuild-output.vmdk file

Requirements:
  - Built to work on Ubuntu (should work on Debian Sarge too)
  - Guest system needs 256MB of RAM using QEMU -m option
  - Needs about 800MB for base compiling tools (oebuild-base.vmdk)
  - Needs 1GB Swap (oebuild-swap.vmdk)
  - Needs minimum 7GB for compile partition for oe build dir (oebuild-output.vmdk)
  - On Windows QEMU Hosts (*nix with SSHd running will need to use different ports) you can login to this QEMU guest via ssh by appending '-redir tcp:22::22' to the QEMU command line.

Compiling opie-image for the first time:
  1) ~/oe-configure.sh            # checks / installs all necessary prerequisites
  2) ~/start-opie-image-build.sh  # if step 1 goes okay

Restarting from a failed compile or updating tools can be done with
  - ~/refresh-toolchain.sh        # refresh bitbake, monotone, OE package metadata
  - ~/start-opie-image-build.sh   # compile / resume compile of opie-image

See the thread on www.oesf.org in the OpenZaurus Roms and discussion forum for more info.
