The build process creates an entire Linux distribution from source. The build process can be summarized as follows:
*Make sure that all the prerequisites are met
*Initialize the build environment, as described in TBD[[#Initializing the build environment|here]].Optionally ensure the <code>conf/local.conf </code> configuration file, which is found in the Build Directory, is set up how you want it. This file defines many aspects of the build environment including the target machine architecture through the <code>MACHINE </code> variable, the development machine's processor use through the <code>BB_NUMBER_THREADS </code> and <code>PARALLEL_MAKE </code> variables, and a centralized tarball download directory through the <code>DL_DIR </code> variable.Build the image using the <code>bitbake </code> command.
