== Tasks ==<br />
A bunch of tasks need to be carried out to make our attendance a pleasant experience. Each task needs a volunteer who is willing to help.<br />
<br />
=== Table cloth ===<br />
We only have a single table cloth (it washed but has a negligible stain from a quick soldering action that happened last year). We definitely need a 2nd one to also cover our second table. The FOSDEM tables are pretty huge (2.5m length), so chose a reasonably sized cloth. Additionally it would be super cool to have the OpenEmbedded logo printed on it. The idea would be to show the logo on the front side of our tables. For that the 'OE' sign should not be taller than say 50cm (The tables are approximately 70cm high.).<br />
<br />
Volunteer: Philip Balister plans to bring 2 table cloths carrying the OE logo.<br />
<br />
=== Bringing an TFT LCD ===<br />
Displaying a presentation during the time of the conference makes our stand visually more attractive. We have a simple OpenDocument presentation in our SCM that can be used for this. However we need a display as well. If you come by car and can transport a display that'd be great. Getting a screen is not so complicated. Robert Schuster could send one to you by mail.<br />
<br />
Volunteer:<br />
<br />
=== Poster ===<br />
A nice poster with updated sponsor was used for 2011's LinuxTag in Berlin. This poster needs to be brought to FOSDEM. Where is it right now and can it be taken to Brussels?<br />
<br />
Volunteer:<br />
<br />
=== Flyers ===<br />
Years ago we printed a bunch (2500) of flyers. We still have a bunch of them left (exact number unknown; will update this as soon as I know). As the text is already a few years old it makes sense to update the actual document (it is in openembedded/contrib/marketing/oe-flyer.pdf) and print new ones.<br />
<br />
Volunteer:<br />
<br />
=== Device Tags ===<br />
People standing in front of our booth often want to know what kind of device it is that blinks so funnily. ;) We could make things easier by being able to print small tags providing some information about board manufacturer, CPU, RAM and what its relation to OpenEmbedded is.<br />
<br />
Volunteer:<br />
<br />
Alex Lennon - please send details of any tags needed to me, (ajlennon at dynamicdevices.co.uk) in reasonable time.<br />
<br />
== Devices ==<br />
<br />
Robert Schuster - Pandaboard - Hopefully booting Angstrom with some desktop and Java foo.<br />
<br />
Alex Lennon - Gem (i.MX28 based telematics board) - Booting OpenEmbedded with an end-user demo running (hopefully)<br />
<br />
Ulf Samuelsson - Atmel AT91SAM9Gx5 Kit with 5 CPU Modules (G15,G25,G35,X25,X35)<br />
Will boot the OpenEmbedded from www.linux4sam.org<br />
A raffle for the kit will be held in the Embedded DevRoom,<br />
and you have to visit the OpenEmbedded stand to leave your business card.<br />
<br />
== Flyers and posters ==<br />
You can bring and/or print OpenEmbedded flyers and posters? Add your name and what you'll bring.<br />
<br />
== Power extensions, adapters and other stand material ==<br />
Bringing devices is cool but we need a way to bring power to them too. Additionally people might need power sockets for different systems than the european one. List your name and what stuff you can bring.<br />
<br />
* Robert Schuster:<br />
**3-socket power extension (EU)<br />
**tape<br />
**WiFi-Router in client mode to provide Internet access for Ethernet-based devices<br />
**2 1m-Ethernet cables<br />

== Hotels ==<br />
<br />
Although FOSDEM itself takes place at the ULB campus, most folks prefer to stay nearer the city centre.<br />
<br />
The Astrid has traditionally been the default choice for OE developers, though there are many other hotels in the area. If you are staying in a hotel other than the Astrid, feel free to add it to this section for the benefit of others.<br />

<div>See [[Required software]] for the list of the software required by Openembedded.<br />
<br />
= Using OpenEmbedded on Linux systems =<br />
<br />
== deb-based distributions ==<br />
<br />
The easiest way is via [http://blog.leggewie.org/?p=39 apt-get'able Openembedded] which will pull the OE meta-data for you and keep it up-to-date. Plus, it makes sure all necessary software for cross-compilation is installed. Easy as 1-2-3.<br />
<br />
=== Debian ===<br />
<br />
==== Mandatory packages ====<br />
<br />
aptitude install sed wget cvs subversion git-core \<br />
coreutils unzip texi2html texinfo libsdl1.2-dev docbook-utils \<br />
gawk python-pysqlite2 diffstat help2man make gcc build-essential g++ \<br />
desktop-file-utils<br />
<br />
'''Git'''<br />
<br />
On debian you may have to run <br />
<br />
update-alternatives --config git (as root)<br />
<br />
and select /usr/bin/git-scm to provide git instead of /usr/bin/git.transition. This is not necessary in sid<br />
<br />

apt-get install libxml2-utils xmlto python-psyco<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
<br />
OPTIONAL: these packages and their dependencies need to be installed in order to build the bitbake documentation (warning: over 160MB of installed packages).<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
apt-get install docbook<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
This package is necessary to build some packages (in particular the esound documentation needs it).<br />
<br />
=== Ubuntu ===<br />
<br />
Ubuntu is based on Debian and instructions above for [[#deb-based distributions|Debian]] apply here as well. Make sure that you have the universe repositories in your apt configuration.<br />
<br />
* Check that /bin/sh (ls -l /bin/sh) is not symbolically linked to dash. "dash" is a POSIX compliant shell that is much smaller than "bash" -- however some broken shell scripts still make use of bash extensions while calling into /bin/sh. To work around this issue call "''sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash''" and select No when it asks you to install dash as /bin/sh.<br />
* You can also install Psyco Python JIT compiler to speed up BitBake. Psyco works on 32-bit x86 platforms only. "''aptitude install python-psyco''<br />
* there are known [[gcc issues in Intrepid and later]] when cross-compiling with OE<br />
* qemu-arm fails whilst building locales (Ubuntu 10.4 LTS and possibly other releases). This is due to a kernel setting which restricts memory mapping to low addresses. To work around this enter 'echo 128 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr' prior to running bitbake.<br />
<br />
== rpm-based distributions ==<br />
<br />
=== Mandriva Linux ===<br />
<br />
Follow the Debian instructions, only using `urpmi` instead of `apt-get install`. You can find it in the contrib section of any Mandriva mirror or seach for it using the Mandriva Club rpm database [http://rpms.mandrakeclub.com]. You may need libpythonV.V-devel for bitbake setup instead of python-dev.<br />
If you're building a 2.6 kernel, you also need the glibc-static-devel package.<br />
<br />
with Mandriva Linux 2006, you need to issue the following command:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
urpmi python python-devel python-psyco patch m4 sed bison make wget bzip2 \<br />
cvs gawk glibc-devel gcc-c++ subversion sharutils coreutils docbook-utils openjade \<br />
quilt pcre-devel unzip glibc-static-devel<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
=== openSUSE ===<br />
<br />
==== openSUSE 11.1 ====<br />
<br />
Use zypper to install the required packages:<br />
<br />
zypper in subversion git python help2man diffstat wget gcc gcc-c++ libstdc++ glibc-devel texinfo automake patch<br />
<br />
These packages may be useful as well: bison and [http://software.opensuse.org/search?baseproject=ALL&p=1&q=gcc33 gcc33] (for faster build using ASSUME_PROVIDED), gtk2-devel (in case your build will fail on missing gdk-pixbuf-csource), bc (for collie kernel), ncurses-devel (if you want to call kernel menuconfig). python psyco package is optional.<br />
<br />
=== Fedora ===<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Core 2/3 ====<br />
Much of the following is probably already installed, but you can check with the following commands. You may want to use the yum.conf located at http://www.fedorafaq.org/. Note, this has not been tested yes as I am in the process of setting up a development environment.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki> yum install python patch m4 sed make docbook* openjade glibc-devel xmlto</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
* psyco: Download psyco-1.4-src.tar.gz (or later) and extract it. Go to the psycho top-level directory and run: `python setup.py install`.<br />
<br />
* patch: FC3 default version should be enough. Optionally, install SuSe 9.1 package of it.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Core 4 ====<br />
Almost all required packages for Openembedded are available in Fedora Core 4 and the Fedora Extras for Core 4. You can download them from <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core> and <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/extras>. Check <http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/4> for updates on the Core 4 packages.<br />
<br />
Apart from the usual (native) development packages like gcc and binutils, you should check that you have the following RPM's installed: <br />
<br />
* bison<br />
* docbook* packages<br />
* libpcre<br />
* m4<br />
* make<br />
* openjade<br />
* patch<br />
* PyQt<br />
* python<br />
* python-psyco<br />
* sed<br />
* xmlto<br />
* quilt (not required as OE builds it by itself, but install it if you want to use gquilt)<br />
<br />
Use apt, synaptic, up2date or yum to automagically retrieve these packages or download and install them manually (lots of work).<br />
<br />
==== Fedora Core 5/6 ====<br />
<br />
Commands I used to install OE pre-requisites on FC5/6<br />
<br />
This long command will ensure all pre-requisites are installed (patch is 2.5.4, not 2.5.9, but appears to work).<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
su -c "yum install python m4 make wget curl ftp cvs subversion tar bzip2 gzip \<br />
unzip python-psyco perl texinfo texi2html diffstat openjade docbook-style-dsssl \<br />
docbook-style-xsl docbook-dtds docbook-utils sed bison bc glibc-devel gcc binutils \<br />
pcre pcre-devel git quilt groff linuxdoc-tools patch gcc gcc-c++ python-sqlite2 help2man"<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
or download the metapackage http://www.openembedded.org/dl/packages/rpm/openembedded-essential-1.1-1.noarch.rpm (may be out of date).<br />
<br />
then do<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
su -c "yum localinstall openembedded-essential-1.1-1.noarch.rpm"<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
<br />
There are also rpm and src.rpm packages of bitbake 1.6.2 at http://www.openembedded.org/dl/packages/rpm/ pending a later version in Extras, currently 1.6.0.<br />
<br />
Update - Current FC6 version is patch-2.5.4-29.2.2 as of this writing and works-for-me (see revision history for build instructions if current patch does not work for you).<br />
<br />
I didn't install SGML tools. Please add if you know how<br />
<br />
Update - Since about 2002 sgml-tools has apparently been replaced by linuxdoc-tools for FC.<br />
<br />
==== Fedora 7 ====<br />
<br />
This long command will ensure all pre-requisites are installed (patch is 2.5.4, not 2.5.9, but appears to work).<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
su -c "yum install python m4 make wget curl ftp cvs subversion tar bzip2 gzip unzip \<br />

<br />
(if this is hard to copy from this HTML page, go to edit mode and copy from editor)<br />
<br />
==== Fedora 11 ====<br />
<br />
Fedora 11, compared to previous versions, brings the need to install "glibc-static" as well:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
su -c "yum install python m4 make wget curl ftp cvs subversion tar bzip2 gzip unzip \<br />
python-psyco perl texinfo texi2html diffstat openjade docbook-style-dsssl \<br />

<br />
=== CentOS 4.4 / Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 ===<br />
May also work for true EL4 or Scientific Linux - another RHEL rebuild<br />
<br />
Even with several optional and 3rd party yum repos enabled (centosplus, kbsingh, RPMforge/Dag, Dries) a number of required packages are too old or unavailable for CentOS4. [It should be possible to use other package managers including apt/synaptic, up2date, and smart to get the required packages. The following assumes yum.]<br />
<br />
I re-built the following SRPMS (with "$ rpmbuild --rebuild ..."):<br />
* boost-1.33.1-10.fc5.src.rpm<br />
* bitbake-1.6.2-1.src.rpm (Latest tarball from http://developer.berlios.de/projects/bitbake/ + modified spec from bitbake-1.6.0-2.fc7.src.rpm)<br />
<br />
Might also want to try the rpm and src.rpm packages of bitbake 1.6.2 at http://www.openembedded.org/dl/packages/rpm/ - I have not.<br />
<br />
Extra requirements for the builds included rpmdevtools, xmlto, and lynx.<br />
<br />
I put packages in a local repo so I can do "yum install ...", otherwise can do "yum localinstall foo.1.2.3.noarch.rpm ...". It may be necessary to temporarily set "gpgcheck=0" in /etc/yum.conf to avoid complaints about unsigned packages.<br />
<br />
For EL4 texi2html is available from the tetex package, currently tetex-2.0.2-22.EL4.7<br />
<br />
Note that the the metapackage http://www.openembedded.org/dl/packages/rpm/openembedded-essential-1.1-1.noarch.rpm<br />
should work except that it depends on texi2html.<br />
<br />
Instead as root do<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
yum install bison coreutils cvs docbook-utils gawk git-core python quilt rpmlib \<br />
sed subversion tetex texinfo unzip wget<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
I ended up with the following set of relevant packages after several iterations of building/updating to get "bitbake nano" to complete successfully:<br />
<br />
* python-2.3.4-14.3<br />
* m4-1.4.1-16<br />
* make-3.80-6.EL4<br />
* wget-1.10.2-0.40E<br />
* curl-7.12.1-8.rhel4<br />
* ftp-0.17-22<br />
* cvs-1.11.17-9.RHEL4<br />
* subversion-1.4.3-0.1.el4.rf<br />
* tar-1.14-12.RHEL4<br />
* bzip2-1.0.2-13.EL4.3<br />
* gzip-1.3.3-16.rhel4<br />
* unzip-5.51-7<br />
* python-psyco-1.5-3.el4.kb<br />
* perl-5.8.5-36.RHEL4<br />
* texinfo-4.7-5.el4.2<br />
* tetex-2.0.2-22.EL4.7<br />
* diffstat-1.34-0_6.el4.at<br />
* openjade-1.3.2-16_9.el4.at<br />
* docbook-style-dsssl-1.78-4<br />
* docbook-style-xsl-1.65.1-2<br />
* docbook-dtds-1.0-25<br />
* docbook-utils-0.6.14-4<br />
* sed-4.1.2-5.EL4<br />
* bison-1.875c-2<br />
* bc-1.06-17.1<br />
* glibc-devel-2.3.4-2.25<br />
* gcc-3.4.6-3<br />
* binutils-2.15.92.0.2-21<br />
* pcre-4.5-3.2.RHEL4<br />
* pcre-devel-4.5-3.2.RHEL4<br />
* git-1.4.4.2-2.el4.kb<br />
* bitbake-1.6.2-1<br />
<br />
=== ALT Linux ===<br />
<br />
You can read more about ALT Linux here: http://www.altlinux.com/en/<br />
<br />
You can use synaptic or aptitude to install packages. Or use apt-get as shown below.<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
apt-get install git-core python python-dev python-module-psyco python-modules-sqlite3 \<br />
patch m4 sed bison make wget bzip2 cvs gawk gcc-c++ subversion sharutils coreutils \<br />
docbook-utils openjade quilt libpcre-devel unzip glibc-devel glibc-devel-static \<br />
help2man texi2html perl-devel<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
For building bitbake manuals you have to install 'xmlto' package:<br />
<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
apt-get install xmlto<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
NOTES:<br />
* This is tested on ALD 4.0/4.1/5.0.<br />
* gcc-c++ is virtual package and can be provided by gcc4.3-c++ (ALD 5.0) and gcc4.1-c++ (ALD 4.0/4.1). Just select higher version.<br />
<br />
=== Ark Linux 2008.1 ===<br />
[http://www.arklinux.org/ Ark Linux] is a modern distribution well suited for Openembedded development. Footprint only 2.1G.<br />
<br />
Required steps:<br />
<br />
1) install required packages<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
apt-get install devel-core diffstat texi2html cvs subversion git texinfo psyco python-devel \<br />
python-encodings python-sqlite help2man bitbake<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
2) upgrade<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
apt-get update<br />
apt-get dist-upgrade <br />
<br />
The following packages will be REPLACED:<br />
texi2html (by texlive-texi2html)<br />
The following NEW packages will be installed:<br />
texlive-texi2html<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
3) finally create your OE tree (see [[Getting started]] instructions). bitbake is already included, so you can skip that step.<br />

== Using OpenEmbedded on Mac OS X ==<br />
<br />
By default OS X uses a filesystem that is '''not''' case sensitive. You need to ensure that at least your tmp directory is on a case sensitive filesystem or you may come across various packages that break, including the Linux kernel! These steps were carried out on a early 32 bit 10.5/Intel Mac - the install order matters for a couple of packages as does having them installed in a more normal location.<br />
<br />
# Register at [https://connect.apple.com ADC] and download and install Xcode<br />
# Compile and install [http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/ GNU gettext]<br />
# Using CPAN install Locale::gettext<br />
# Compile and install [http://www.gnu.org/software/help2man/ help2man 1.29] - newer versions will not build without hacks<br />
# Compile and install [http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/ wget], [http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/ gawk], [http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/ coreutils] and [http://git-scm.com/ git] - wget appears to not work if you install it in /usr/local so use --prefix=/usr also note OS X provides a different version of mktemp which functions differently, be careful not to overwrite this as OS X might need it<br />
# If you are on a 32 bit Mac you can of course install [http://psyco.sourceforge.net/ psyco]<br />
# Fixup your PATH variable for your build user so that /usr/local/bin (or where ever coreutils etc is installed) comes before the OS X version in /usr/bin<br />
# Install GNU sed 3.0.2, this will give you a version of sed that allows you to build sed 4.1.5 - you will need to overwrite the one provided by OS X with --prefix=/usr and ensure you are using 4.1.5 not 3.0.2 as 3.0.2 does not provide various options you need<br />
# Install getopt from [http://software.frodo.looijaard.name/getopt/download.php here] - modify WITHOUT_GETTEXT=0 to WITHOUT_GETTEXT=1 in the Makefile and add -DWITHOUT_GETTEXT=$(WITHOUT_GETTEXT) to the line beginning with CPPFLAGS=<br />
<br />
Now follow the Getting Started OpenEmbedded wiki guide. Unfortunately there are various issues building on OS X that will most likely prevent the toolchain from building.<br />
