i have installed vmware on vista am using pre configured enviroment. it does not let me copy and paste for some reason.
i typed it in but make directory command says already exists. do i delete the main tuxbox-cvs in ubuntu or do like fairbird and change dir name eg mkdir xyz thanks

[delboy13]

i still can not copy and paste but i have got as far as the epg fix. can someone explain how i extract the contents to your 'tuxbox-cvs' directory i don't kmow where to look in winrar

this for newbies developers & who wanna to make a maxvar images

to make a maxvar image you have to modify kernel ( exactly i mean dreambox.c file ) to
change proportions between cramfs & squashfs parts inside the image
you will find in the attachment the maxvar patch to do that for you
how to apply patch

put maxvar.diff after decopress in your cvs folder ( ex; tuxbox-cvs )
open terminal & launch the following commands:

Code:
cd tuxbox-cvs
Code:
patch -p0 < maxvar.diff
then
Code:
rm .linuxkernel
&
Code:
make .linuxkernel
now you have cdk with kernel customized for making a maxvar images

then launch the usual commands as follow:

Code:
cd cdk

rm .enigma

make .enigma

make rebuild-flash
Stop; here at this step & make the following steps:

go to this path \root\cdkflash\root in your cvs folder then;
remove any addons or games you don't need from \lib\tuxbox\plugins
& languages you don't need from \share\locale
& delete the unwanted skins from \share\tuxbox\enigma

Note: dont delete the default skin

finally launch

Code:
make flash-compress
congratulations , you have now a maxvar image

dear:
when I key in make dreamboximage_root and process until such an error happened : /bin/grep: /lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /lib/libfreetype.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/lib/libfreetype.la' is not a valid libtool archive

how could I solve this problem ? I have searched on this site for a lot thread , but could not found any clue.

A greeting to all and forgive my English.
I too have the same problem.
I even cleaned the car and reinst fedora, thinking of the library corrupt. The error still remains.

Thanks for your help.

Hello all! It's my first post here. I had the same problem too! I had tried everything without success.Then i realised that library (libfreetype.la) was missing from the \lib folder to which a user doesn't have access (only root has). These 2 files are located in /xyz/root/cdkroot/lib (replace xyz with the directory where your cvs files are located). So i copied libfreetype.la, libfreetype.so.6 (i executed in terminal "sudo cp libfreetype.la /lib and "sudo cp libfreetype.so.6 /lib") to that folder and then i executed "make dreamboximage_root" again, and the problem was gone (As i noticed there were only 2 warnings that these 2 files were moved). I compiled the image but haven't tested yet. So i hope it works

the files you mentioned are in the path, was one of the checks made before you post. I can not figure out what to depend.

I just did as you suggested, only to be sicuroi have tried everything and confirm that it works ..... now let's see if he comes to the end and then if the cvs

Thanks for now and see you soon.

your using old code.
don't even know if the tree is updated anymore.

I use this method now.

start terminal
mkdir tuxbox-cvs
cd tuxbox-cvs
export CVS_RSH=ssh
 cvs -d anoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 co -P .
cd cdk
./autogen.sh
./configure --with-boxtype=dreambox --with-boxmodel=dm500 --with-webif=expert --prefix=/home/ubuntu/tuxbox-cvs/root --with-cvsdir=/home/ubuntu/tuxbox-cvs --with-cpu=405 --with-epg=private --with-mhw-epg=yes --with-flashtool=expert --with-reiserfs=no --with-ext-flashtool=yes --enable-kernel26 --with-defaultlocale=english --enable-dreambox-serial-console  --enable-freesatepg --disable-pictureviewer

then for neutrino

make flash-neutrino-squashfs

or for enigma

make flash-enigma-squashfs

the ./configure line has many more options they are just what I use.

hello ! the repository error has been fixed, and I tested and passed ,generated a image ,but not test at now

[studentlo]

Hi all, I am a newbie to this forum and I have learnt alot so far. I have a dreambox dm500c which does not carry a card at the moment. My image is gemini and evocamd_2.14.

If I need to use a card do I need to reload a new image or can the card be used with any image and if so how do i go about activating my card slot to accept the card.

Many Thanks for any replies
