5. Howto

This section contains some (possibly) helpfull short howtos for different items using the CD.

The howtows assume, that the CDs image is already mounted and a xxxprep.rc script was executed before compiling.

5.1 Compile a new OPIE version with the CD

To compile opie was not the first focus of the CD, but is nevertheless possible from now on. I had to do some minor changes in the opie build script and integrated a new environment variable BASENVI, which defines, where the environment scripts can be found.

Beside that I reworked my opie build script (_makeopie.rc) completely, so the CDs version (in OPIEDEV/opie-vers/opie*) is not any more usefull (CD Version 0.2.3). Download the script _makeopie.rc found at

http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/comscripts_0.1.6.tgz approx. 10kByte.

and copy that into your opie source dir (is already included in the opie sources found on the 0.2.7 CD).

Follow the hints at http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html

to compile your opie source.

Important hint Before you start your compilation you have to set/overwrite the environment variable BASEENVI to the CDImages environ directory, so that the correct scripts are executed.

An export BASENVI=/whereYourCDImageIsMounted/environ should do it.

5.2 Compile a new QTE version with the CD

I reworked my qte build script (_makeqte.rc) completely, so the CDs version (in OPIEDEV/qt-vers/qte-*) is not any more usefull (CD Version 0.2.3). Download the script _makeqte.rc found at

http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/comscripts_0.1.6.tgz approx. 10kByte.

and copy that into your qte source dir (is already included in the qte sources found on the 0.2.7 CD).

Follow the hints at http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html

to compile your qte source.

5.3 Compile a new Kernel version with the CD

Follow the hints at http://www.uv-ac.de/opiedev/opiedev.html

to compile your kernel source.

5.4 Use the ISOImage from Harddisk

Copy the Image to your HD into your favourite dir. Loop mount the complete iso image using

mount -t iso9660 -o loop=/dev/loop0 /yourImagePath/livecd-0.2.7.iso /mnt/iso

assuming the mountpoint /mnt/iso exists. Go on to cloop mount the OPIEDEV file

/mnt/iso/_mountcloop.rc  /mnt/iso/OPIEDEV /mnt/iso1

assuming the mountpoint /mnt/iso1 exists.

Thats it, have fun ...
