9Required Packages
10===

12Running Poky on Debian based distributions requires the following
13extra packages be installed;
14
15build-essential
16diffstat
17texi2html
18cvs
19subversion
20gawk
21
22You also need to install the qemu from http://debian.o-hand.com/.
23Alternatively poky can build qemu itself, but for this you need the
24following packages installed;
25
26gcc-3.4
27libsdl1.2-dev
28zlib1g-dev
29
30You will also need to comment out ASSUME_PROVIDED += "qemu-native"' in
31build/conf/local.conf.
32
33Building under other distro's such as Fedora is known to work. Use the above
34package names as a guide for dependencies.
35
36Building An Image
37===
38
39Simply run;
40
41% source poky-init-build-env
42% bitbake oh-image-pda
43
44This will result in an ext2 image and kernel for qemu arm (see scripts dir).
45
46To build for other machine types see MACHINE in build/conf/local.conf
