Yes, indeed . For my sins... ;-)

Likewise :-)


Ok let's start somewhere near the beginning.

You are going to need a linux installation to build on. You'll need
python2.4 installed.
Check this with 
$python -V

On my distribution (debian unstable) it looks like:
mybox 17:11 ~% python -V
Python 2.4.4

Note that it really has to be 2.4 with the release you are going to use.
To repeat, you do NOT need scons installed on your build machine. You
can safely remove it entirely. If you have no other need of scons, I
recommend removing it as it's one less thing to create confusion. (I do
have scons installed on my machine,  it is happily ignored by the OKL4
build system which provides it's own scons).


The release is found here:
https://portal.ok-labs.com/downloads/okl4
At present we are not supporting anything else.

Here's a tarball that we prepared earlier using crosstool. Unpack it
into /opt 
http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/downloads/tools/arm-linux-3.4.4.tar.gz

Add /opt/nicta/tools/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-linux/bin/ to your path.

Putting something like
PATH=$PATH:/opt/nicta/tools/gcc-3.4.4-glibc-2.3.5/arm-linux/bin/
in your .bashrc will do the trick.


Get the simulator while you are there
http://www.ertos.nicta.com.au/downloads/tools/skyeye-kenge-1.2.1n.tar.gz

unpack it and add it to your path the same as for the above
cross-compilers.


Now unpack the release tarball
$ tar -zxvf okl4_release_1.4.1.1.tar.gz


So you can cd into your unpacked tarball directory
$ cd okl4_release_1.4.1.1


You are now ready to try the build line:

./tools/build.py machine=gumstix project=iguana wombat=True
verbose_str=True simulate


Please be as verbose as you can in reporting your problems to give us
the maximum chance to fix them fast.
Thanks
