Beagle Board Xm Cross complie environment vs Linux Distro.

Hi Everyone:

  I'm trying to run bitbake and openembedded on Ubuntu Linux Lucid
10.04. I'm following the instructions here...

http://wiki.oepnembedded.net/index.php/OEandYourDistro

... and I'm having to do some rather kludgy things like issue this

echo 128 > /proc/sys/vm/mmap_min_addr

and add lines like this

BUILD_CPPFLAGS += "-Wno-format-security -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE

to my

./oe/build/conf/local.conf

yet I'm still getting all kinds of errors like this ....

ERROR: SRCREV was used yet no valid SCM was found in SRC_URI

ERROR: while parsing ./oe/openembedded/recipes/cacao/cacao-
native_hg.bb

I've been chasing errors like this down for 3 day's and it's driving
me up the wall. Can someone tell me a linux distro and development
environment that is working for them? One that had a minimum of
configuration changes? I need to compile new kernel's and kernel
modules, and I'm stuck constructing a cross compile environment.

Thanks.
Andrew
