− | As of 2007-07-26 the development of the next version of the OpenMoko distribution has begun.
| + | #REDIRECT [[Om 2007.2]] |
− | | + | |
− | Goals of the new version are an improved set of PIM applications, improved theming that fixes a lot of the usability problems of the 1st generation design, more formalized UI guidelines and a number of changes in the build system. The latter should introduce more recent software by staying closer in sync with upstream org.openembedded.dev.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | An official announcement is expected soon.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | (Initially this was named OM-2008 in SVN but renamed shortly after that.)

− | == How to build ==
| + | |
− | '''Please note that this is no official guide on how to build OM-2007.2. I am just making my first steps getting this to compile and think it would be a waste of time of I keep problems I found for my own. Additionally it would be good if the new distro gets more exposure and testing so less things will break after the official announcement.'''

− | | + | |
− | Follow the [http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/GettingStarted getting started] steps of OpenEmbedded. Use Bitbake from the ''stable'' branch from SVN (not the 1.8.6 release - does not work!) and the ''org.openembedded.dev'' branch of OE.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Put the following in your local.conf
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | BBFILES = "${HOME}/oe/org.openembedded.dev/packages/*/*.bb"
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | MACHINE = "fic-gta01"
| + | |
− | DISTRO = "openmoko"
| + | |
− |
| + | |
− | ENABLE_BINARY_LOCALE_GENERATION = "1"
| + | |
− | GLIBC_GENERATE_LOCALES = "en_GB.UTF-8"
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Replace "${HOME}/oe" with the path to where your "org.openembeded.dev" folder lives. For the other entries have a look at ''conf/local.conf.sample'' about their meaning.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Run ''bitbake <package name>'' (e.g. openmoko-devel-image).
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Flashing an image to the device is not handled by this guide. Hopefully the MokoMakeFile is soon upgraded to be used for OM-2007.2. Since OpenMoko is not using the overlay any more that makefile should be simpler then. :)

− | === Build issues ===
| + | |
− | You may get something like this while the bitbake recipes are parsed:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Error validating server certificate for 'https://libw100.svn.sf.net:443':
| + | |
− | - The certificate hostname does not match.
| + | |
− | Certificate information:
| + | |
− | - Hostname: *.svn.sourceforge.net
| + | |
− | - Valid: from Fri, 27 Oct 2006 12:05:58 GMT until Sun, 28 Oct 2007 13:05:58 GMT
| + | |
− | - Issuer: Equifax Secure Certificate Authority, Equifax, US
| + | |
− | - Fingerprint: f2:6c:fe:bb:82:92:30:09:72:dd:1c:b3:e7:56:69:c7:7a:df:67:3e
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | That is an issue in a bitbake file. One should not use the short-name for sourceforge (sf.net) when certificates are only for exact host names. Accept the certificate and everything is fine for now.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Another problem that will most likely arise is that patching ''libgsmd'' will fail. You will get an error message that (besides other stuff) contains these lines:
| + | |
− | | + | |

| + | |
− | can't find file to patch at input line 27

− | Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
| + | |
− | The text leading up to this was:

− | I got the built to continue by removing all the patches. For this open ''packages/gsm/libgsmd_svn.bb'' and change remove all parts of the SRC_URI variable where it says ''patch=1''. Someone with deeper knowledge on gsmd should decide whether those patches are still needed (and especially on the Neo). Since I want to run the image in the emulator only a fully working gsmd is not that important to me.
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | I expect that the metadata for gsmd will be updated soon to fix the build issues. You should revert your local changes then (''mtn revert packages/gsm/libgsmd_svn.bb'').

− | === Flashing with MokoMakefile ===
| + | |
− | Since MokoMakefile has not been adjusted to use the new build layout you cannot use it. As a quick hack to make flashing local built image possible again try this:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Find the following lines in the MokoMakefile:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | flash-qemu-local: stamps/qemu stamps/openmoko-devel-image
| + | |
− | ( cd build/qemu && openmoko/flash.sh ../tmp/deploy/images )
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | And replace them with:
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | flash-qemu-local: stamps/qemu
| + | |
− | ( cd build/qemu && openmoko/flash.sh <MY_NEW_BUILD_DIR>/tmp/deploy/images )
| + | |
− | | + | |
− | Where you should replace <MY_NEW_BUILD_DIR> with the full path to your build directory (the one where ''conf/local.conf'' lives in). (This has not been tried yet since my image is still building.) Running the image should work, too. :)
