[Openembedded-users] Understanding editing and compiling a package source file

[Charles Krinke]

Gentleman:

I am trying to come up on the "understanding" curve and am having a couple
of perceptual problems with oe and bitbake.

What I am trying to do for U-boot, Linux, DTB and the root filesystem:

cd <srcDir>
edit a source or header file
make

I need to figure out how to *not* unpack the source for each change, so as
to work with a source tree, make incremental changes, compile, test, repeat
in a traditional manner.

I know that bitbake & oe will do this, but dont quite have the recipe and
incantations straight to do it again. Probably because I have spent most of
the last year being corrupted by ltib.

What I have done:
./bin/bitbake -f linux -c compile
This doesnt get a shell that allows things like "make menuconfig" or "make
vmlinux", but rather unpacks the source and compiles

./bin/bitbake linux -i
although this gets an interactive shell, I dont see any way to execute
things like the "make menuconfig" or "make vmlinux"
