from quick start manual, i notice that all toolchain tarballs have "sdk" in the filename, whereas the actual downloads have "gmae". a simple textual fix, i'm assuming. (what means "gmae"?)
GMAE = GNOME Mobile and Embedded
think cut down GNOME.
ah, of course.
more significantly, QS manual states that toolchains "should" be installed under /opt/poky. "should" is a loaded word -- it implies a recommendation for some benefit but not an actual requirement. and installing it there requires the reader to have root privilege, something to be avoided if at all possible.
can someone clarify the "shouldness" or "mustness" of toolchain installation under /opt/poky?
At this point its a requirement, we'd like to relax that but it isn't possible right now.
ok, then that sentence should simply be reworded to make it clear that it's not optional and root privilege is required. patch to follow shortly.
