Have you tried building and installing a gumstix-basic-image and then using 'ipkg' to install any additional packages you want/need? It downloads prebuilt components from gumstix.net in a similar fashion to a rpm(red hat) or dpkg(debian) repository. I think you need to make your own 'image' type once you have those packages added. I think that can be done by either copying or extending one of the existing XXXX-image.bb files. Will be working on the 'nuts and bolts' of that myself, but am slogging through various 'cmake' issues for something else at the moment. ----- Original Message ---- From: "EXT-McGhehey, Mark J" <Mar...@bo...> To: gum...@li...

Andrew, Thanks but I'm not interested in fooling around the ipkg and individual packages and I am not trying to just add "new" packages. I am modifying an existing packages from the "gumstix collection". Steve Sakoman (the gumstix OE guru) recommends the method where you copy "com" packages to the "user" collection and make your mods there. He also says that bitbake gives preference to the recipes in the "user" collection. I just haven't found a way, yet, to do a rebuild that picks up my changes (other than removing "tmp" and building from scratch).
