[oe] New user would like some help

[Chris Tapp]

Hi,

I've recently come across Openembedded and really like what I see :-)

I'm trying to use it to produce a minimal Linux image and have built  
one for 'minimal-image' using the 'minimal'  distro for the 'alix'  
machine. This builds and boots in Qemu, so looks good.

I now want to add some other libraries to the image so that they will  
be available by default. I've tried to do this by adding IMAGE_INSTALL  
lines in to minimal-image.bb (I'll do this properly by making a copy  
soon!). e.g.

IMAGE_INSTALL = "task-boot \
		libsdl-native \
<rest of file>

This appears to do something at build time, but libsdl is not in the  
image that's produced.

Is this the right way to go about this? I assume not, as, but I've had  
a look at the user manual and didn't spot anything obvious in there to  
show me what I'm doing wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
