lardman or Simon, whatever moniker you prefer,
Thank you for your response. Thinks are becoming clearer now as to how this all works. The dependency thing makes sense and that is what I assumed it to be.
I will make/suggest anything that I can in the wiki to make it easier for others.
Now, this actually may go better in the thread that relates to "developers school", but anyway. I think that I was originally looking for the easy way to get to this point. When I originally got my Zaurus, I downloaded the four (4) rpm's for development. Instant gratification. Yesterday, I decided to be patient and follow the "Getting Started" directions, step by step. Like I stated, I started with something minimal, nano. What I ended up with was the toolchain, which is what I was looking for. Now, based on what I have to develop on, I will never bitbake world/opie/gpe. I will build indivdual packages as I like. As I write this I am building opie-textedit. I will take this experience and see if and what can be improved.

Hmmm... What "four rpms" did you download? I'm really interested in building a cross-compilation environment, if I can't get development working on the Z itself (which is my preference).
I've looked at various "getting starting" guides, and they all seem prety involved, when my goal is to compile a single program (fxconv) to run under OE (3.5.3)/Opie.
Has anyone considered making an ISO snapshot of a complete, working toolchain environment, and putting it up for download?
Thanks,
Mark
