Re: [Gumstix-users] Bitbake internet dependency question

[H. G. <shi...@gm...>]

Dave,

So tarballs are packages that can be downloaded?
I am somewhat new to linux so trying to understand it good.

Something like these commands would work?

"# bunzip2 myapp.tar.bz2
# tar -xvpf myapp.tar
# cd myapp
# ./configure
# make
# make install "


Or is there a better way?


Once installed then like you said just transfer them to the machine/gumstix
that need it and no internet is needed then.

Can you elaborate on the git tree?  Not sure what that is and how to
implement it like tarballs...(what is "/tmp tree" also not sure what "take
your oe tree and the tarballs") is...


Sorry if asking basic questions, just trying to understand how to implement
a workaround for Bitbake's internet dependence...

Thanks for the help!
