MokoMakefile is a fully automated way of setting up an OpenMoko development environment. It is an invaluable tool for getting new developers up and running with a build environment which is configured the same as all the other existing developers. It brings the same repeatability to build environment creation and maintenance as that which OpenEmbedded brings to the main task of actually building embedded software distributions.

Note that MokoMakefile does *not* replace bitbake, or svn, or monotone, or openembedded, or qmake, or anything else. It is a wrapper around all that to make it easy to set up and maintain a development environment that fully complies with the setup instructions published by OpenMoko.

MokoMakefile is developed by Rod Whitby - it is not an official product of OpenMoko (although I would be happy for them to pick it up and use it internally). If there is any discrepancy between the official OpenMoko build instructions, and the operation of the MokoMakefile, then you should consider the official instructions to be correct.

Here are the steps to use it:

1/ Make sure your build host is set up according to:

  http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEandYourDistro

2/ Create your $OMDIR directory

  mkdir /home/moko ; cd /home/moko

3/ Grab MokoMakefile

  wget http://www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile

4/ Start building

  make openmoko-devel-image

This will set up the recommended directory structure as described in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Building_OpenMoko_from_scratch, will download all the required software (from the right places with the right versions), and will immediately start building an image.

Once you have done this, you can choose to continue using the MokoMakefile to initiate your subsequent builds, or you can go into the build directory and run bitbake commands manually. The choice is yours.

MokoMakefile is recommended by 1 out of 1 new developer on #openmoko, who said "For some reason last night I couldn't get my manual install of everything to work (bb complained about my bbpath I think) ... but with your makefile, it works great!"

MokoMakefile is a fully automated way of setting up an OpenMoko development environment. It is an invaluable tool for getting new developers up and running with a build environment which is configured the same as all the other existing developers. It brings the same repeatability to build environment creation and maintenance as that which OpenEmbedded brings to the main task of actually building embedded software distributions.

Note that MokoMakefile does *not* replace bitbake, or svn, or monotone, or openembedded, or qmake, or anything else. It is a wrapper around all that to make it easy to set up and maintain a development environment that fully complies with the setup instructions published by OpenMoko.

MokoMakefile is developed by Rod Whitby - it is not an official product of OpenMoko (although I would be happy for them to pick it up and use it internally). If there is any discrepancy between the official OpenMoko build instructions, and the operation of the MokoMakefile, then you should consider the official instructions to be correct.

Here are the steps to use it:

1/ Make sure your build host is set up according to:

  http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/OEandYourDistro

2/ Create your $OMDIR directory

  mkdir /home/moko ; cd /home/moko

3/ Grab MokoMakefile

  wget http://www.rwhitby.net/files/openmoko/Makefile

4/ Start building

  make openmoko-devel-image

This will set up the recommended directory structure as described in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Building_OpenMoko_from_scratch, will download all the required software (from the right places with the right versions), and will immediately start building an image.
