documentation/dev-manual: Converted to use poky.ent

2012-03-23T14:24:43+00:00

I converted the hard links to use the variables as established in the file poky.ent. Also, Cleaned up some bad text in the term "Yocto Project Files." Looks like a cut-and-paste problem.

documentation/dev-manual: Updates to names of bare clone and copy

2012-03-08T20:07:49+00:00

I changed the example to use a different kernel (linux-yocto-3.0-1.1.x) and the example that creates the bare clone and the copy of the bare clone to use better names that are more easily distiguishable: linux-yocto-3.0-1.1.x.git and my-linux-3.0-1.1.x-work, respectively.

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: edits to example

2012-03-08T20:07:44+00:00

Poor flow for the config_smp example. Upon reading this example it did not stand well on its own. I added some text, albeit redundant but necessary I felt, so that the example would stand on its own.

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: Fixes to examples

2012-03-08T20:07:43+00:00

Jim Abernathy pointed out an area where the bitbake command is run from the top-level poky directory. This is incorrect and the user should run this from the build directory. I changed the instance so that the example instructs the user to either run the environment setup script first, which would place him into the build directory. I also reinforced it by adding supporting text saying that you should run the bitbake command from the build directory.

documentation/dev-manual/dev-manual-kernel-appendix.xml: cleared up note

2012-03-08T20:07:38+00:00

There is note instructing the user to delete unused .bbappend files or comment out the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE statements in those unused files before running the build in the example. the note was not clear about the COMPATIBLE_MACHINE statement in the .bbappend file that is actually being used. I edited the text to be clear about that. (From yocto-docs rev: 73ed4df6f312c25103c41a1ee1dcdb9f7114ca45) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

documentation: BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE suggestions

2011-11-25T15:24:19+00:00

Text that suggests setting the BB_NUMBER_THREADS and PARALLEL_MAKE variables to speed build time has been updated to suggest a setting of twice the number of host cores supported. The 2x number came to light through a discussion on the project mailing list initiated by Robert P. J. Day. Reported-by: Robert P. J.

documentation/dev-manual: Fixed PDF Note line breaks

2011-11-08T16:26:33+00:00

Several notes were not producing a line-break betweent he end of the note and the start of the next paragraph. Most work, but for some reason these did not. It is a mystery to me.
