In the Poky reference system, support is provided for the development of LSB and LSB compatible applications. Inside Poky, there is a special poky-lsb.conf distribution policy configuration that is defined in case a distribution is interested in developing applications that are LSB-compliant. This holds true when generating a Linux distribution that is LSB-compliant or at least prepares to take the LSB certification. The build steps required for a Linux distribution that prepares for an LSB certification will be presented here. In case you are interested in developing LSB-compliant applications, the process is simpler and will also be briefly presented here; however, it is in contrast to the former.

The first step is simple: it only requires cloning the poky repository and the meta-qt3 dependency layer because of the requirements of the LSB modules:

git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky.git
git clone git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-qt3
