local.conf and DISTRO

local.conf and DISTRO

[Nicola Ranaldo]

Sorry if this is a repeated question, i googled and searched the wiki site and 
i did not found a good answer.
I want to setup an OE environment to develop familiar/opie applications and to 
build missing packages from the installation image.
The problem is that after a lot of manual patch (ld and libstdc++),  BBMASK 
and ASSUME_PROVIDED, i finally have packages, but they depends on newer libs.
So i have to update them on the device, mixing stable packages with unstable 
packages. When i tryied to compile the hello world application i found i 
needed a threaded qte, missing from the 0.8.4, so i mixed them too.
I was not able to compile the last kernel, as it seems not patched for h2200.
It's easy to make the system highly unstable.
So i'd like to edit my local.conf to build an opie-image from sources used for 
0.8.4 release and not from cvs.
May you help me?

	Niko

  What CVS? Anyway, Familiar 0.8.4 was built from a separate tree (see
Familiar's home page), and you'd better use that tree if you just want
to build few packages. Otherwise, there's effort to port Fam0.8.4
changes back to OE's familiar-unstable DISTRO, see recent archives of
this list. You're welcome to help.
