I would like to "play" with it.. compile my own programs and run them in the Dreambox.
Like so many other Dreambox tasks this sounds easy at first, but can get quite complex
First you need to have a PC that is broadband connected or better.
The build will download a LOT of stuff from the internet as it goes.
Second you will need to get the source. This is covered in detail here
http://cvs.tuxbox.org/.
Click on the installation instruction link and CHECK each of the prerequisites are installed and active on your box. This is crucial to getting a good build.
I use Mandrake 9.2, and a number of the utils were installed but not the default (e.g. automake).
Create a directory to receive the source (I use /data/tuxbox-cvs for the source and /data/dream for the output as there isn't enough space in my /home mount)
Then
cd to your source directory and fetch the source:
cvs -danoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 co -r rel_1_0_0 .
don't miss that final '.' char at the end.
Once the source has downloaded (only takes a few mins) you
cd into the cdk directory.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO BUILD AS ROOT.
Run the following (substitute directory names as required):
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/data/dream --with-cvsdir=/data/tuxbox-cvs --with-targetruleset=flash --with-cpu=405 --disable-libcrypto --disable-flashmodutils --enable-maintainer-mode
and wait...
If TPTB have not fixed it yet there may be an enigma compilation failure in enigma_plugins.cpp - The patch for this is here
http://cvs.tuxbox.org/lists/tuxbox-cvs-0406/msg00286.html.
If you get past all that lot, try searching on google, etc. for mkdreamboxfs. This will enable you to create an IMG file.
To get the latest "bleeding edge" stuff replace the rel_1_0_0 with HEAD and try that, but no promises that it will work!
Let me know if that helps!
I am looking at replacing the UI to make it look more like the S*YB*X one to keep the missus happy
