I hear you, I spent all WEEK fighting with OpenEmbedded. Painfully, it is better than LTIB. Actually there is a sub-set of OE called Poky that is really solid.

I hear you, I spent all WEEK fighting with OpenEmbedded. Painfully, it is better than LTIB. Actually there is a sub-set of OE called Poky that is really solid. OE's problem is that the packages vary in quality - primarily in their ability to compile on multiple platforms - Poky picks the betters ones and has fewer platforms, it works very well.
