== Introduction ==
Thanks to BitBake's client/server split there are several possibilities for graphical interaction with BitBake.

== Current State ==
There are currently three GUI's in BitBake, the most recent of which is in the "extremely prototype" phase of development.

'''depexp''' - a graphical dependency explorer
use-case: view task dependencies in an interactive GUI

run with: bitbake -g -u depexp <some-target>

'''goggle''' - a graphical build viewer
use-case: watch build progress using a GUI, potentially easier to follow than terminal output

run with: bitbake -u goggle <some-target>

'''hob''' - a graphical image creator
use-case: create custom images without having to edit files by hand

run with: bitbake -u hob

If you play with Hob please remember it's not finised yet and report any bugs you find in the [http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Build%20System Build System bug tracker] under the "image creator" component.
