Also, I'm a relative newbie WRT Python. I'm trying to understand the way bit bake builds the dependency trees and works at a low level. Trying to reverse engineer it from the python code is difficult. Does anyone recommend any browser tools for navigating a large python code base like bit bake? I've read the documentation pages I could find but I haven't found any "theory of operation" types of documents. Are there any such things? The questions I have are: How does a simple command line "bitbake slogos-image" translate into building all the components? =20 How does bitbake push in the ./configure command line options? Are there tools for doing analysis on the open embedded bb library? =20 Thanks, --mgross --PEIAKu/WMn1b1Hv9 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF/1WIhK5OsmQOmSARAnrtAJ9DpeVjh1SQ0QGZEfnzhGzlCJyxrQCfSyfh DH1DyvTymVnbQR+8/n50QJk= =ZHbX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --PEIAKu/WMn1b1Hv9--
