OpieDevelopmentVm

The Opie Development VM provides an OpenSUSE 11.2 based VMware virtual machine image pre-configured for (non-cross) Opie development. It's somewhat of a large download unfortunately (760MB+) and does chew up some space once extracted, however it does save going through the BuildOpie steps, keeps your own machine clean and as a bonus includes libetpan and opkg already set up in case you wish to work with opie-mail or opie-packagemanager.

(This is intended for development and is merely an alternative; if you prefer the BuildOpie steps these will always work.)

Further details on using the VM can be found in the README file on the desktop of the VM once started.

Requirements
You will need:
 * VMware Player (free), VMware Workstation or some other virtual machine host software capable of running VMware images
 * 7zip to extract the VM image
 * A reasonably fast machine with at least 2GB RAM to run the VM (VM is set to use 512MB RAM)
 * About 4GB of disk space free
