How to install openembedded and bitbake for the leapfrog leapster Explorer packages

OpenEmbedded and bitbake are a pair of powerful cross-compiling tools, setup correctly to do a complete build of OE packages should be as simple as running 'bitbake image' at the command line.

If you look in the LF-Linux-6905-20100610-0915.tar.gz archive you will find a folder packages/oe-bin, in here you will find all the binaries for pre-built OE packages, if that's all you need then use those and don't setup OE/bitbake.

As far as I can tell, OE/Bitbake will build everything (linux + all OE packages).

this tutorial is a work in progress, if you mess your system up don't blame me. It has been written through doing the installation on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have gathered information from the internet on how to install openembedded and bitbake.

Needed Files:

'''LF-OE-251-20100614-0852.tar.bz2'''

If you take a look at the leapfrog sources you will find LF-OE-251-20100614-0852.tar.bz2 this contains the leapfrog/lf1000 configuration files.

----

1. open a command prompt and enter the following, enter password when prompted:

'''sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gettext libboost-dev libz-dev g++ libxml2-utils xmlto python-psyco'''

2. in the same command prompt, again, enter the following (its all one single command)

'''sudo aptitude install sed wget cvs subversion git-core coreutils unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat help2man make gcc build-essential g++ desktop-file-utils'''

3. enter the following 4 lines in the same command prompt:

'''sudo mkdir -p /stuff/build/conf'''

'''sudo mkdir -p /stuff/sources/'''

'''sudo chmod -Rf 777 /stuff/'''

'''cd /stuff/'''

This is where openembedded will be installed/run from, change /stuff/ to a directory path of your choice

4. Download and Install bitbake, enter the following commands:

'''wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz'''
'''tar -xvzf bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz'''
'''mv bitbake-1.8.18 bitbake'''

5. Download openembedded from git repository, enter the following commands, the git commands may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.

'''git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git'''
'''cd openembedded'''
'''git pull'''

6. Copy files from the leapfrog OE folders to our installation of OE:

copy the /build, /build-lf1000, /packages and /sources folder from the /oe folder to /stuff
copy the 2 files, e-o and setup-env.sh to /stuff, edit both files to reflect /stuff as the OE_HOME dir

That's it as far as installation of OE is concerned, not entirely sure what else needs to be setup. I suggest looking through the OE/Bitbake manuals and any lf1000 related .conf files for more clues.

----

I think we now need to get the kernel sources in the right place too and set project_path?
copy the contents of LF-Linux-6905-20100610-0915 to /stuff merging any files/folders if prompted?

	+	== Summary ==
	+	OpenEmbedded and BitBake are a pair of powerful cross-compiling tools, setup correctly to do a complete build of OE packages should be as simple as running 'bitbake image' at the command line. This will guide you through the install of [http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/Main_Page OpenEmbedded] and [http://bitbake.berlios.de/manual/ BitBake] for the Leapfrog Explorers [[Leapster Explorer]] and [[LeapPad Explorer]] packages.

	+	== Software Needed ==
	+	[[LeapFrog_Pollux_Platform:_Source_Code\| LF-OE and LF-Linux Source Code Packages]]
	+	* ''' LF-OE<Version>.tar.gz ''' - This contains the leapfrog/lf1000 configuration files.
	+	* ''' LF-Linux<Version>.tar.gz ''' - Contains the pre-built OE package binaries, can be used instead of building your own.
	+	== Installing Dependencies ==
	+	As far as I can tell, OE/Bitbake will build everything (linux + all OE packages). This tutorial is a work in progress, if you mess your system up don't blame me. It has been written through doing the installation on ubuntu 10.04 LTS. I have gathered information from the internet on how to install openembedded and bitbake.
	+
	+	Open a command prompt and enter the following, enter password when prompted:
	+	$ sudo apt-get install autoconf automake gettext libboost-dev libz-dev g++ libxml2-utils xmlto python-psyco
	+
	+	This is all one line.
	+	$ sudo aptitude install sed wget cvs subversion git-core coreutils unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils
	+	gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat help2man make gcc build-essential g++ desktop-file-utils'''
	+
	+	Create your directories, this is where openembedded will be installed/run from, change /stuff/ to a directory path of your choice:
	+
	+	$ sudo mkdir -p /stuff/build/conf
	+	$ sudo mkdir -p /stuff/sources/
	+	$ sudo chmod -Rf 777 /stuff/
	+	$ cd /stuff/
	+
	+
	+
	+	== Building OE ==
	+	Download and Install BitBake, enter the following commands:
	+
	+	$ wget http://download.berlios.de/bitbake/bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
	+	$ tar -xvzf bitbake-1.8.18.tar.gz
	+	$ mv bitbake-1.8.18 bitbake
	+
	+	Download openembedded from git repository, enter the following commands, the git commands may take some time depending on the speed of your internet connection.
	+
	+	$ git clone http://repo.or.cz/r/openembedded.git
	+	$ cd openembedded
	+	$ git pull

	+	Copy files from the LeapFrog OE folders to our installation of OE:
	+
	+	copy the /build, /build-lf1000, /packages and /sources folder from the /oe folder to /stuff.

	+	That's it as far as installation of OE is concerned, not entirely sure what else needs to be setup. I suggest looking through the OE/Bitbake manuals and any lf1000 related .conf files for more clues.
	+
	+	More than likely going to need some environment vars set before attempting to compile anything with BitBake.
	+
	+	== To Do ==
	+	I think we now need to get the kernel sources in the right place too and set project_path?
	+	copy the contents of LF-Linux-6905-20100610-0915 to /stuff merging any files/folders if prompted?
