Richard's staging changes should help resolve these issues. There are several classes of developers: 1) Create recipes for existing software. 2) Modifying kernel config within OE. 3) People creating new software to run on machine that can not be tested on desktop. Marco and Ken briefly presented their Eclipse based projects to help developers. Marco's is targeted at hiding OE from developers, Ken's provides help for people writing recipes. Ken has promised to write more on the eclipse plugin issues. http://community.buglabs.net/kgilmer/posts/110-BitBake-Commander-6-8-Installers- For SW developers (3) there is an Anjuta plugin: http://labs.o-hand.com/anjuta-poky-sdk-plugin/ and you can do remote development on a Beagle with Netbeans: http://mechomaniac.com/BeagleboardDevelopmentWithNetbeans There was also discussion on making it easier to install OE/bitbake. Conclusions: 1) Toolchain generation should improve after staging layout changes. 2) People are working on Eclipse plugins, this should be encouraged. 3) Need better documentation to setup Eclipse and CDT with OE toolchains. 4) Need to add a page linking to projects that are useful for people using OE.
