Its never going to be possible to make make OE build everything it needs itself since you always need some prerequisites (e.g. a initial toolchain). Personally, I use OE/Poky on Ubuntu and Slackware. There are others using Gentoo and other systems. Ideally it should work on most systems, you might see problems with -native packages, you shouldn't see problems with non -native ones. Cheers, Richard
