RE: [Ltib] Same build env for different processors

[Bizhan Gholikhamseh (bgholikh)]

Hi Stuart,
Thanks for response.
We need to automate the build through scripting, so my questions are:
1- Could we add an option to ltib which platform to build?
2- ltib has a gui interface to configure, for example to select
packages, Could we automate the build configuration through scripting?

Thanks,
Bizhan
