Hello, I've come across two was of setting the partition to build Haiku on (in UserBuilConfig). I'm currently working on writing help for installation procedures, and I was wondering if both methods are considered equivalent (O.K.) while setting up your UserBuildConfig.Either this: HAIKU_IMAGE_NAME = sda6 ; HAIKU_IMAGE_DIR = /dev ; Or: DefineBuildProfile disk : disk : "/dev/sda7" ; switch $(HAIKU_BUILD_PROFILE) { case "disk" : { HAIKU_ADD_ALL_OPTIONAL_PACKAGES = 1 ; } } You would then sudo jam -q @disk when building... Are both of these equivalent?
Yes, but the profiles are more powerful, because you can define multiple different ones. For example, I have different profiles for different emulators, different profiles for USB-stick and harddrive partition, and different profiles depending on how fast I want the result (ie bare bones or full featured).
