Hi, I have also been testing newcamd and many other dreambox emus on linux

(but emulated in Qemu and vmware in windows)


You can download many of the emulators here:

For newcamd make a folders like this:

/var/tuxbox/config/newcamd/

and put the betad.cfg cardserv.cfg and newcamd.cfg files in there.

Most programs will tell you where to put the config files if it can't find them when you run it.


You must use the *.i386 *.i686 *.x86 versions on the binaries.

(if you want to run native .dream or .ppc files you must use a PowerPC emulator)

The other thing to remember is you must give the emus permission to run (execute)

by opening their properties of the file or running "chmod 755 filename" from the terminal.

There is a good basic guide to the terminal here:

_http://www.linuxhelp.net/newbies/


If you get a message about missing libraries you must install them,

sometimes they are included in the emu download, if they are not

you must download the equivalent lib for your distro and install it,

if that doesn't work try to copy and rename it or symlink to it.


The main problems I have found is with configering COM port access,

there is some info here:

_http://www.linux.com/base/ldp/howto/Serial-HOWTO-11.html

_http://www.accesio.com/go.cgi?p=../software/linuxserial.html

but the COM port naming seems to change with each different emu,

you must experiment with this. Good luck!

Cheers,
Nick
