## Building via Make Detailed

```bash
    user@host:~$ ls
    bbcache  flash.log  Makefile  meta-arduino  meta-intel-edison  out  pub
```

```bash
    user@host:~$ cd out/current
    user@host:~$ ls
    build  poky
```

```bash
    user@host:~$ source poky/oe-init-build-env
    ### Shell environment set up for builds. ###

    You can now run 'bitbake <target>'

    Common targets are:
        core-image-minimal
        core-image-sato
        meta-toolchain
        adt-installer
        meta-ide-support

    You can also run generated qemu images with a command like 'runqemu qemux86'
```

## Fix Paho-Mqtt
