Obtaining the SDK
-
- This chapter is going to cover the details on getting the SDK on your
- system.
- It is debatable as to whether or not this should be an appendix.
- It could be part of a main chapter I think.
- Originally suggested by Paul that it should be an appendix.
- I have a sub-section in the main chapters to cover this should we
- decide to place it there.

+ Manual Development Notes for Scott and Paul
-
- The idea here is to gather all the current information in the regular
- YP doc set that describes how to locate, download, or build out the SDK.
-
+
+ This chapter is going to cover details about the installed SDK and perhaps
+ stuff on locating it (e.g. the naming scheme used to identify the
+ .sh installation script.
+
-
- One thing that needs discussed is any differences between getting the
- standard SDK as compared to the extended SDK.
- Do we have pre-build extensible SDKs laying around?
- Where do we get any pre-built SDKs from?
- Show the methods by which the user builds out the SDK?

+ Installed Standard SDK Directory Structure
+
+
+ The following figure shows the resulting directory structure after
+ you install the Standard SDK by running the .sh
+ SDK installation script:
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ The installed SDK consists of an environment setup script for the SDK,
+ a configuration file for the target, a version file for the target,
+ and the root filesystem (sysroots) needed to
+ develop objects for the target system.
+
+
+
+ Within the figure, italicized text is used to indicate replaceable
+ portions of the file or directory name.
+ For example,
+ install_dir/version
+ is the directory where the SDK is installed.
+ By default, this directory is /opt/poky/.
+ And, version represents the specific
+ snapshot of the SDK (e.g. &DISTRO;+snapshot).
+ Furthermore, target represents the target
+ architecture (e.g. i586) and
+ host represents the development system's
+ architecture (e.g. x86_64).
+ Thus, the complete names of the two directories within the
+ sysroots could be
+ i586-poky-linux and
+ x86_64-pokysdk-linux for the target and host,
+ respectively.
