Opie/OpenEmbedded Goodness

So I have this cool toy, the Sharp Zaurus SL-5600, and so far I've been kind of disappointed with the various ROM images out there, and I've been wanting to build/compile the development OpenEmbedded/OpenZaurus image for my Z. Up until today, this has been an excercise in futility. But for joy! I am finally in progress of what appears to be a successful build!


Hopefully once I get it buillt, I can start hosting the images for other n00bs like me to download instead of dealing with the tedious build process.

Update: Oops. Sometimes it feels like things are never that easy...

Update 7/27: Success!... kinda. I finally got the OZ devel stuff to build. I had to tell it to use the 2.4 kernel, and then tell it to ignore applying a patch that was already applied (apparently). It's very much buggy. I see I'm not the only one to notice this. In any case, feel free to download the images here. Good luck!
