Build my own Vix image

[Willo3092]

I would love to learn, are there any guides that you could point me in the direction of please?

Hate to point to another image! .. but have a look at the bottom half of this page
https://github.com/openatv/enigma2

In the git change from OpenATV to Openvix and away you go.

If you manage to get it built please share, I am happy to test. Unfortunately my understanding of building an image is close to zero.

... and mine!

It's not just image to built, plugin feeds need to be hosted too, unless for your own use locally.

I won't have time to re-test for a few weeks.

I've had a go tonight but failed unfortunately.
I found this log if it makes sense to anyone?

Never seen that kind of looks like a fetch error..
Please describe what you have done ... and on what system you are running on.

I installed ubuntu-16.04.1-desktop-i386 and used these commands in terminal:

#1 - Install packages on your buildserver
sudo apt-get install -y autoconf automake bison bzip2 curl cvs diffstat flex g++ gawk gcc gettext git-core gzip help2man ncurses-bin ncurses-dev libc6-dev libtool make texinfo patch perl pkg-config subversion tar texi2html wget zlib1g-dev chrpath libxml2-utils xsltproc libglib2.0-dev python-setuptools zip info coreutils diffstat chrpath libproc-processtable-perl libperl4-corelibs-perl sshpass default-jre default-jre-headless java-common libserf-dev qemu quilt libssl-dev

#2 - Set your shell to /bin/bash
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash When asked: Install dash as /bin/sh? select "NO"

#3 - Add user openvixbuilder
sudo adduser openvixbuilder

#4 - Switch to user openvixbuilder
su openvixbuilder

#5 - Switch to home of openvixbuilder
cd ~

6 - Create folder openvix
mkdir -p ~/openvix

#7 - Switch to folder openvix
cd openvix

#8 - Clone oe-alliance git
git clone git://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment.git -b 4.3

#9 - Switch to folder build-enviroment
cd build-enviroment

#10 - Update build-enviroment
make update

#11 - Finally you can start building a image
MACHINE=dinobot4kplus DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make image

Try MACHINE=u52 !!

Try MACHINE=u52 !!

If you get through this then open the build environment
there is a folder site.conf, open it and look at this line starting DL_DIR
this is where you fetch & save a LOT of files ..... so if necessary move it to somewhere safe and change the line to point to the new location.
So when you rebuild at any time you will not have to fetch anew the git libraries/build components

 

[Sicilian]

Try MACHINE=u52 !!

Machine is 'dinobot4kplus'.

 

[ronand]

I think you also need to use the 64 bit OS if I remember rightly.

As a matter of interest, would it be feasible to use a bootable Ubuntu USB stick, or does it need to be a full blown pc install?

Would build too slow, take forever.

You need a fast PC.

Didn't like that at all

ERROR: OE-core's config sanity checker detected a potential misconfiguration.
Either fix the cause of this error or at your own risk disable the checker (see sanity.conf).
Following is the list of potential problems / advisories:

Error, the PACKAGE_ARCHS variable contains duplicates. The following archs are listed more than once: u52


EDIT: I'm pretty sure the alpha blending issues have been addressed.
It all seems to work fine on ATV, I just don't like ATV.

this is your machine

There only seems to be a 64 bit version for AMD processors and my spare box is a Dell with an i7 processor.
I could always put a spare hdd in my main box which is AMD and install it on there when I get a minute.

It is just the way the linux distros are named, you can install on Intel CPUs. The build process is faster on Intel than AMD anyway.

 

[dodgydrains]

Sicilian is correct ... just a mental aberration!

So running builds at the moment (with alpha blending change)- will test later or tomorrow morning.

I have my fingers and toes crossed that all goes smoothly!!!!!
