If you are looking for instructions for building apps and kernels for WebOS, you have come to the right place. If you have not run through the WebOS Internals PDK wiki page, you should start there.

Setup

Create the directory structure for the source:

sudo mkdir -p /srv/preware
cd /srv/preware
sudo chmod 777 .

Pull down the app source with git.

git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/preware/build.git

After you have the source, you need to build the toolchain — this can take some time or if you already have the toolchain installed, please see below

cd build
make toolchain

if you already have the correct version of the toolchain installed for the device you are targeting you can symlink it to the proper location ie the touchpad needs the Sourcery G++ Lite 2009q1-203 toolchain. if it is already installed you can symlink it to

cd toolchain/cs09q1armel
mkdir build
cd build
ln -s <location of toolchain> arm-2009q1

Apps

Package up preware.

cd /srv/preware/build/apps/preware
make package

Kernels

Package up UberKernel.

cd /srv/preware/kernels/uber-kernel-touchpad
make package
