PreBakedEnvironment Goals Milestones

= Primary goal of the PreBakedEnvironment =

Supply possible and actual gp2x developers with a working toolkit and ease the installation barrier.

= Tasks to do =


 * find a suitable name and perhaps a logo [urgent]
 * Save space! (actual: ~700mb as 7zip) now down to 170mb quickly compressed
 * try to clean up the toolkit to make it more wieldy (possible?)
 * debianize it!
 * add some configure-like script to check if the toolkit is both complete and functional (tests?) and dependancies are met
 * add a x server and some wm (lightweight)
 * preconfigure kdevelop (needs kde libs - will have severe impact on image size) and/or code::blocks (wxWidgets) to c
 * configure a browser with links to known development resources
 * vmware support was requested once
 * 

= Current issues =

(talk to me if you are willing to help me out)


 * stripping debug symbols out of the binaries (both toolkit specific and system wide) did so with a nice space saving
 * fizzing with the toolchain to find out wheter there are possiblities to optimize directory layout
 * testing different sources wheter they compile

0.01 prerelease "Quickshot"
Just my actual work snapshot with the sarge-based colinux image. App toolkit copiled from svn (with full debug), libraries taken from the prebuilt library package. Console only. Might have slipped some Etch packages. Libraries still fail to compile here and there. Should do for a curious insight.

0.1 release
Complete binary-only toolkit appchain. Includes binary-only library package. Console only. Supplied sample makefile for new open2x projects. A few basic demo projects supplied for demonstrative purposes (like a basic sdl input loop or playing a music file). Basic installation notes.

0.2 release
Complete binary-only toolkit & kernel appchain. Includes binary-only library package. Console only. Supplied sample makefile for new open2x projects. More demo projects. Basic installation notes.

0.3 release
Complete binary-and-source toolkit & kernel appchain. Both toolkit and kernel should compile. Much same as above for the rest.

0.4 release
Image based upon Debian Etch with careful package selection. (Needs good compromise between installed features and used space). Debian package based. Updating to later versions from the environment should work starting here. Custom installer for win32 (using NSIS), allowing to selectively fetch packages. (alternative: an inside control frontend to install (using apt) and do maintenance much like ctvdrcfg from the c'T vdr distribution). Console only? Demo projects as in 0.2. Complete installation and maintenance notes.

0.5 release
Optional x11 based.
