[oe] Q: build/install gpe-image from dev branch

[Vladislav Grinchenko]

Michael,

thanks for the reply.

In doing so, my build process aborts in attempt to build
'collie-kernel-24-8-2.4.18-rmk7-pxa3-embedix-r23' kernel (which I don't
need) with following:

---------------------------------

The thingy depends on  arm-linux-gcc-2.95 which it couldn't find?

But all I wanted was a gpe-image! I didn't ask for the kernel. And if I
did, I would have asked only for collie-kernel-64-0.

So, the question is how do I tell bitbake to build only a gpe-image? If
it absolutely must build the kernel, then how do I select a specific
kernel to build (rather then all of them)?

thanks,
--Vlad
