for powerpc builds we use our 1.0 oe branch.
2.0 / 2.1 does not work for ppc builds.

thank you for the reply, do you have a link to the info i need please, i think ive trawled every page of the new wiki, but seem to be going around in circles and ending up nowhere

You have to use 'Makefile' instead of 'Makefile-2.1'

http://openpli.svn.s...le?revision=236
http://openpli.svn.s....1?revision=236

Everything else should be pretty much the same.
Just expect you need to manually find and download a lot more source tarballs, as the 1.0 metadata will require many outdated package versions.

ok, ive got this far

i had to change what i initially enter to start to build process to

make -f Makefile image

and get millions of errors, so i think ill try this in its own folder totally independant of the receivers i can already compile for

pulling hair out time again lol

ok, it looks like the 'handheld' source for files has been 'coming back in 2 weeks' for the last 2 years, everywhere i google, leads me back here, and the posts it leads to all lead to other posts within the forum, then eventually lead back to the main page, im stuck with one source file for now

ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404-r8

i have

ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404

and have also tried renaming and rebuilding the md5, but nothing seems to work, does anyone have the original file its asking for please

heres the error it bombs out on

[digidude]

after 29 attempts, ive got an image

now i have another problem though

the image is in .nfi format, but dreamup wants either a .bin or .img file

is there any way to make the output image files .img format please?

[pieterg]

for the 600 and 500(plus) you need an nfi, you probably have the wrong dreamup version?

[dAF2000]

Well, the DM600 needs an .nfi, but the DM500 (no DM500+ or whatsoever) needs an .img. Compiling a DM500 image is completely different, so lets first get clear about which box you're talking.

[digidude]

i have the original DM500 (not DM500+ and also not a clone)

im hoping to be able to compile my own image for each receiver i own as listed in my siggy below.

if the DM600 takes an .nfi file, then i guess thats ok as i sucessfully built an image for that overnight, and today am going to try for the 7020

once i know i can make an openpli image that boots and functions, then i know i can start customising the image

but if you could help me to also compile for my DM500, thatd be brill

[dAF2000]

Create a new directory and checkout the source code:
svn co https://openpli.svn....t/openpli/trunk openpli

You will find a script "build_cdk_image" which you need to run with 3 arguments (if you run it without any arguments you will get the help function). I run the script like this:

./make_cdk_image ~/PLi/OpenPLi/dm500/trunk/cdk ~/PLi/OpenPLi/dm500/trunk/cdk dm500

Adapt them to your path. In ~/PLi/OpenPLi/dm500/trunk/cdk you will find the buildlog. Be sure to use full paths, otherwise it will fail.

[digidude]

thank you for that

so far so good

i had one error where the file binutils-2.15.91.0.2.tar.bz2 was corrupted, so i downloaded it from a different source found via google, and replaced it in the /Archive folder, and it looks like its now building, for the last 15 mins, its been saying

=========== Build image (see /home/home/E1-openpli/dm500/openpli/cdk/buildlog.txt)
and the buildlog.txt file is constantly changing, so hopefully, itll be successfull

[digidude]

back again, i think im so close, but i dont know whats happened, im sorry to be a pain

i have now managed to build an image, but, its only 1.8Mb in size, i tried flashing it to the receiver, even though it thought it was a little small, and the receiver accepted it, but, surprise, it doesnt do anything lol

i can copy / paste the build log here if it helps (its HUGE though)

or if anyone has any idea for anything i may need to change or add id be greatfull

thank you all for your time with this

[dAF2000]

If your image is too small, you likely have a build error. Just search the log file for "error" and you'll find it. Of course you can post the log file here as an attachment (without copy/paste).

[digidude]

i have found errors like this in the build log

( rm -rf libungif-4.1.3 || /bin/true ) && bunzip2 -cd Archive/libungif-4.1.3.tar.bz2 | tar -x
bunzip2: Archive/libungif-4.1.3.tar.bz2 is not a bzip2 file.
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors
make: *** [.libungif] Error 2

and when i look at the file specified, theyre 0 bytes in size, so it looks like theyre being downloaded corrupted, this was an initial problem i also had

ive replaced 3 or 4 of these files as theyre identified with each build, and so far the images are coming out at 3.6Mb

getting there slowly

[dAF2000]

The download was indeed corrupted. If you store the right files in the directory cdk/Archive, you can resume the build.

[digidude]

ive attached the build log from my latest attempt. i cannot see any more errors like the last few ive managed to sort out, but there are still orrors

this comes up a few times

make[2]: [install.libs] Error 1 (ignored)

as well as this

./configure: line 15442: syntax error near unexpected token `have_ogg=yes,'
./configure: line 15442: `XIPH_PATH_OGG(have_ogg=yes, { $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: WARNING: *** Ogg development enviroment not installed - Ogg support will not be built" >&5'
make: *** [.libflac] Error 2

which im assuming is for compatibility with playing .ogg media files? not really a biggie if thats all it is

theres also this

which im assuming is a missing file, libcrypto.so.0.9.7, which im about to find and insert where it says its missing from, im assuming that it needs to be in 4 locations?
