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

depending on what you're building you might need some of the prereq's from here. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/WebOS_Internals_PDK

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

please see the notes if you already have the correct toolchain installed and do not what do download it again.

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
