Building Instructions

1 - Install packages on your buildserver

sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake bison bzip2 chrpath coreutils cpio curl cvs debianutils default-jre default-jre-headless diffstat flex g++ gawk gcc gcc-12 gcc-multilib g++-multilib gettext git git-core gzip help2man info iputils-ping java-common libc6-dev libegl1-mesa libglib2.0-dev libncurses5-dev libperl4-corelibs-perl libproc-processtable-perl libsdl1.2-dev libserf-dev libtool libxml2-utils make ncurses-bin patch perl pkg-config psmisc python3 python3-git python3-jinja2 python3-pexpect python3-pip python-setuptools qemu quilt socat sshpass subversion tar texi2html texinfo unzip wget xsltproc xterm xz-utils zip zlib1g-dev zstd fakeroot lz4

2 - Set python3 as preferred provider for python

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2
sudo update-alternatives --config python
select python3

3 - Set your shell to /bin/bash.

sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash
When asked: Install dash as /bin/sh?
select "NO"

4 - modify max_user_watches

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

sudo sysctl -n -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

5 - Add user openspabuilder

sudo adduser openspabuilder

6 - Switch to user openspabuilder

su openspabuilder

7 - Switch to home of openspabuilder

cd ~

8 - Create folder openspa8.x

mkdir -p ~/openspa8.x

9 - Switch to folder openspa8.x

cd openspa8.x

10 - Clone oe-alliance git

git clone git://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment.git -b 5.3

11 - Switch to folder build-enviroment

cd build-enviroment

12 - Update build-enviroment

make update

13 - Finally you can start building a image

• Build an image with feed (build time 5-12h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make image

• Build an image without feed (build time 1-2h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make enigma2-image

• Build the feeds

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make feeds

• Build specific packages

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make init

  cd builds/openspa/release/zgemmah9combo/

  source env.source

  bitbake nfs-utils rpcbind ...
