[Gumstix-users] Gumstix images and environment setup

[Shashikiran S. <sha...@gm...>]

Hi all:

I am very new to Gumstix dev board and I just started working on this from
this week. I just connected the Overo Fire through USB to my Ubuntu machine
and was examining the initial contents. I then tried to build an environment
and also a basic image (gumstix-basic-image) as described in
http://gumstix.net/wiki/index.php?title=Build_Environment_Ubuntu_8.10. The
build failed and when the link asks me to modify some files, I do not see
the entire tmp folder. The Ubuntu is a fresh installation that I installed
for this specific purpose. Can someone tell me where I have gone wrong?

I tried to build an environment as mentioned in
http://www.gumstix.net/Documentation/view/Overo-Setup-and-Programming/Setting-up-a-build-environment/109.html.
I was able to do this and build a omap3-console-image after the build failed
during GTK+ which I rectified after reinstalling a GTK+ library. I also saw
at a couple of places that we can also build a omap3-desktop-image which I
have not tried as of yet. I wanted to know the differences between the three
above mentioned images.

All help is appreciated.

Have a great day!

Shashikiran Srinivasa
