Basement GNU/Linux Layer

This layer builds upon the Basement layer and provides recipes to build GNU/Linux systems from it. It is intended to be used by other projects.

How to build

Actually there isn't much to build directly in this repository. Head over to one of the examples to see how this repository is used:

• Embedded systems
• Linux containers

How to use

First you need to add the basement and basement-gnu-linux layers to your project. To do so add a layers entry to config.yaml:

bobMinimumVersion: "0.25"
layers:
    - name: basement-gnu-linux
      scm: git
      url: https://github.com/BobBuildTool/basement-gnu-linux.git
      commit: <git commit id> # optional but highly recommended
    - name: basement
      scm: git
      url: https://github.com/BobBuildTool/basement.git
      commit: <git commit id> # optional but highly recommended

and then fetch the layers:

$ bob layers update

To use the standard facilities of the basement project you need to inherit the basement::rootrecipe class in your root recipe:

inherit: [ "basement::rootrecipe" ]

This will make your recipe a root recipe and already setup the sandbox with a proper host toolchain. A number of pre defined tools and toolchains are available from the basement project.
