-BitBake is the build tool used by [[OpenEmbedded]]. [[BitBake recipe]]s are simple, declarative files. Here is an example for the openmoko-calculator2 application:
+BitBake is the build tool used by [[OpenEmbedded]] and was originally used by the OpenHandhelds and OpenZaurus communities.

-==Set Bitbake building environment==
-Basically, using bitbake to build your image is very easy.
-* Get bitbake
-* Get OpenEmbedded tree
-* Set local configuare file
-* Set building environment variables.
-All you need is these four things. Lets assume you are using a account named '''build''', and you are working under directory '''moko'''.

-'''Note:''' The instructions below are fairly out of date. It is not actually necessary to use bitbake-om. Any version of BitBake as recent or more recent than 1.8.12 (>=bitbake-1.8.12) is all that is necessary. OpenMoko development is largely moving upstream to the main OpenEmbedded repository. To get started, please follow the instructions available on the [http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php OpenEmbedded Wiki] under [http://wiki.openembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro OEandYourDistro]. -- [[User:Cfriedt]] 20090109

-Bitbake come for OpenEmbedded, however Openmoko has its own bitbake, named [http://git.openmoko.org/?p=bitbake.git;a=summary bitbake-om]. After cloning the bitbake-om, you have the kitchen comprehensive. You also need recipes to tell you how to cook.

-It will clone an [http://git.openmoko.org/?p=openmoko.git;a=summary OE tree from Openmoko git server]. This is the recipes what tell bitbake how to cook. The cloning process spend little time, get a cup of coffee is a good idea when you are waiting.

-*PARALLEL_MAKE: Please read the manual of "make" and search the -j option.

-==Update environment==
-bitbake-om won't change often. But the OE tree (/home/build/moko/openmoko) almost change everyday. Update them is important so you can get the latest fix.

-==Starting use bitbake==
-The first time you use bitbake will spend many hours. It have to fetch every source code what you need. To build the meta toolchain, and many basic libraries like glibc.
-−
- $source /home/build/moko/build_env  #read in the environment variables.
- $bitbake helloworld # build the simplest case.
- Playing video game for 5 hours, Watching movie for 3 hours and Sleeping for 8 hours.
-−
-If you wanna try something like fso image, just ask bitbake to cook another food.
-−
- $bitbake fso-image
-−
-All the recipe are placed in '''/home/build/moko/openmoko/packages'''. For example, fso-image recipe is placed in '''/home/build/moko/openmoko/packages/images/fso-image.bb'''.
-−
-After the building process complete, the opk files are placed in '''/home/build/moko/build/deploy/glibc/opk''', and the image is in '''/home/build/moko/build/deploy/images'''.
