[Gumstix-users] microwindows build in FC8

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Good Day to all,

  I reported earlier this week that I was unable to get the microwindows-image to build for a gumstix verdex board. I am able to build the basic-verdex-image with no issues. The microwindows image issues start at an include file included by Quarks.c and at present, end in do_rootfs in the nxlib bitbake file. I wont bore you with the entire log but here is what I think shows the issue:

Issueing  "bitbake gumstix-microwindows-image"  at this point results in the same beheiviour as before, the image is not built.

Any ideas? 
Is there anyone else building microwindows in FC8 for a verdex board?
