[ptxdist] Generate Developer SDK from Ptxdist

[ptxdist] Generate Developer SDK from Ptxdist

Hi All,

I'm looking to see if anyone else is using Ptxdist to generate an SDK along
with the BSP.  We are supporting Qt in our BSP and I would like to create a
stand alone developer workstation for our target.  I see there is a host-qt
built with the BSP but it's configured differently than the target - which
obviously makes sense.  For my use case, would it make sense to override
the host-qt install to mirror that of target except for the windowing (QWS
vs X11)?  Or would you suggest building the host-qt outside of ptxdist?  My
goal is to build a developer VM image so a developer can compile and test
the application on x86 and then just cross compile the app for target
deployment.  I already was able to assemble the cross compiled Qt libs from
ptxdist and I can cross compile an app using Qt Creator.  I am just trying
to determine the best way to handle the host Qt libs.

Any feedback or suggestions are much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jeff

I have just used the packaging of our distribution and created a meta package 
to pull in the toolchain, qt and some other dependencies. 

As far as i know host-qt does not support host tools but only cross compiling, 
so i went for the easier way and installed the qt devel packages from the 
distribution. To build a meta package in debian/ubuntu you can use equivs and 
just add all your dependencies in there. For creating the repository i used 
reprepo. Thats all debian stuff don't have much experience with building 
packages and repositories for rpm based distros.

Hope this helps
Tim
