External Build

Hello everyone,
I am a novice to Linux and poky and I am having a bit of a challenge with completing the quickstart steps. I have installed poky on my host computer but I want to 
install the build directory on an external harddrive. Every time I run through the steps I run into an error, no matter what I do.
Is it possible to install poky on the local drive and have a build on an external drive? Is there a workaround?
Any advice will be helpful.


Thanks,
Durotimi.

Hi,

Just to clarify things, what do you call "poky" and what do you call "the
build"?

I am interested by the answer to this one ...

Poky is the Yocto Project reference distribution.

OpenEmbedded is the build system.

What steps did you make to do the build on the external drive, and what was
the error?  Simply setting TMPDIR in local.conf is sufficient for this.
