I've been trying to build the nfi image from my DM600 PVR, but without a success so far...
I have figured that for this platform only the branch 1.0 would work - fine for me.
So basically I get this Makefile and then I change the MACHINE from dm8000 to dm600pvr and just execute make. This step takes awhile but goes smoothly (here you can see the log)
So then, I have the build-dm600pvr folder, I go there execute "source env.source" and then:
nikt@lap:~/openpli/build-dm600pvr$ bitbake dreambox-image
And this also takes awhile, but at some moment it just stops with such an error (here is the full log)
NOTE: package ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404: started NOTE: package ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404-r8: task do_fetch: started NOTE: Fetch cvs://anoncvs:anoncvs@anoncvs.handhelds.org/cvs;module=ipkg-utils cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to anoncvs.handhelds.org(128.31.0.23):2401 failed: Connection refused NOTE: Task failed: Fetch failed: ipkg-utils NOTE: package ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404-r8: task do_fetch: failed ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting NOTE: package ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404: failed ERROR: Build of dreambox-image failed
It seems that the CVS server at handhelds.org is no longer there.
What I did, I found ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404.tar.gz in the internet, placed it in openembedded/packages/ipkg-utils/ and then I changed the SRC_URI in ipkg-utils_1.6+cvs20050404.bb to use file://ipkg-utils-native-1.6+cvs20050404.tar.gz instead of the original CVS source.
Now after running "bitbake dreambox-image" I got some messages that the patch could not be applied, but after I pressed Ctrl+D twice it went further.... taking another hour or so (full log here)
And this time I have an error which I have no clue how to deal with:
NOTE: package glibc-initial-2.3.2+cvs20040726: started NOTE: package glibc-initial-2.3.2+cvs20040726-r22: task do_fetch: started NOTE: Fetch cvs://anoncvs@sources.redhat.com/cvs/glibc;module=libc;date=20040726 cvs [checkout aborted]: connect to sources.redhat.com(209.132.183.64):2401 failed: Connection timed out NOTE: Task failed: Fetch failed: libc NOTE: package glibc-initial-2.3.2+cvs20040726-r22: task do_fetch: failed ERROR: TaskFailed event exception, aborting NOTE: package glibc-initial-2.3.2+cvs20040726: failed ERROR: Build of dreambox-image failed
It seems like a similar issue, with a dead CVS server, but I have no clue what tar.gz file should I be looking for here...
So, to wrap it up: is there a chance that any of you guys could please give me a hint how to proceed further with this, so I could build my own nfi file?
I'd really appreciate that.
I know you do daily builds for this exact platform, so there must be some way for it to work...
FYI, I use Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS, x64
