dev-manual, profile-manual, ref-manual: Updates to remove meta-toolchain

2016-03-23T21:56:09+00:00

The term "meta-toolchain" is legacy now. I went through and removed its use except for where it appears still as output from the oe-init-build-env script. (From yocto-docs rev: 1cc134060459278997d57f1293f54091c5404d85) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

yocto-project-qs and others: Rewrite of the QS

2015-07-28T17:02:32+00:00

This was a complete re-write of the YP Quick Start in an attempt to streamline it, remove unecessary detail, and make it flow better with the examples. In doing so, many manuals were affected due to section headings being renamed, information being moved, etc. Here is a list of the changes by manual: Makefile - Removed two figures from TARFILE list for the yocto-project-qs. Added building-an-image.png to the ref-manual TARFILE list. Added using-a-pre-build-image.png to the adt-manual TARFILE list. Repositioned 'eclipse' in the adt-manual TARFILE list. adt-manual: Fixed a cross-reference so that it goes to the new 'Building Images' section that is within the YP QS. Added new section 'Example Using Pre-Build Binaries and QEMU' to hold the information that was formerly in YP QS. dev-manual: Removed a cross-reference into the YP QS that promised how to configure the most efficent build. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'The Packages' to 'The Build System Packages'. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Building an Image' to 'Building Images'. Changed a text reference from the YP QS to the adt-manual. Moved the bit about getting YP files by using the YP website from the YP QS to the dev-manual. Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'Using Pre-Built Binaries and QEMU' to 'Example Using Pre-built Binaries and QEMU', which was moved to the adt-manual. ref-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. Moved the note about if your system has oss4-dev in the packages area in the YP QS to the appropriate area in the ref-manual. Moved the introduction information regarding building an image along with the figure from YP QS to the ref-manual's section on building images. toaster-manual: Changed a cross-reference into the YP QS from 'What You Need and How You Get It' to 'Setting Up to Use the Yocto Project'. yocto-project-qs: Complete rewrite that changed many section headings and removed much detail, which was placed in other manuals.

ref-manual: Updates to the "Speeding Up the Build" section

2015-07-28T17:02:28+00:00

I applied a little more information to this section to help round out the variable explanations. Part of the change involved adding PARALLEL_MAKEINST to the list of scaled variables. I had left that variable off. Also added a new trade-off. (From yocto-docs rev: 3d85d5385c03841c17dd33afb94c110edc12170f) Signed-off-by: Scott Rifenbark Signed-off-by: Richard Purdie

ref-manual: scrubbed eglibc

2015-02-17T15:16:52+00:00

Removed the references to eglibc and replaced them with glibc. This involved updating the example buildhistory output with current examples as well Reported-by: Robert P. J.

ref-manual: Updated text for speeding up builds.

2015-02-17T15:16:51+00:00

The "Speeding Up the Build" section presents a list of items the user can consider when they want to tweak the build speed. One of the items is the three variables BB_NUMBER_THREADS, BB_NUMBER_PARSE_THREADS, and PARALLEL_MAKE. It was noted that the system figures out the optimal settings for these now and it is pretty useless to override the settings. However, the introducing sentence to the list is still valid due to other considerations that go beyond these three variables. So, to update the text, I have re-emphasized the role of these three variables for quickening the build time. Reported-by: Robert P. J.
