Our buildserver is currently running on:

Ubuntu 24.04.1 (GNU/Linux 6.8.0-51-generic x86_64)

minimum hardware requirement :

RAM: 16GB

SWAP: 8GB

CPU: CPU: Multi-Core/Multi-Threaded

Storage: 250 GB free for a single build; 500 GB+ for multi-builds

openSPA 8.x is build using oe-alliance build-environment and several git repositories:

https://github.com/oe-alliance/oe-alliance-core/tree/5.5.1

https://github.com/openspa/dvbapp2/tree/master based on https://github.com/openatv/enigma2

Building Instructions

1 - Install packages on your buildserver

sudo apt-get install -y python3-html5lib autoconf automake bison bzip2 chrpath cmake coreutils cpio curl cvs debianutils default-jre default-jre-headless diffstat flex g++ gawk gcc gcc-12 gcc-multilib g++-multilib gettext git gzip help2man info iputils-ping java-common libc6-dev libc6-dev-i386 libglib2.0-dev libncurses-dev libperl4-corelibs-perl libproc-processtable-perl libsdl1.2-dev libserf-dev libtool libxml2-utils make ncurses-bin patch perl pkg-config psmisc python3 python3-git python3-jinja2 python3-pexpect python3-pip python3-setuptools quilt socat sshpass subversion tar texi2html texinfo unzip wget xsltproc xterm xz-utils zip zlib1g-dev zstd fakeroot lz4 git-lfs

2 - Set python3 as preferred provider for python

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python3 2
sudo update-alternatives --config python
select python3

---

3 - Set your shell to /bin/bash.

sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh

---

4 - modify max_user_watches

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

sudo sysctl -n -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

---

5 - Modify AppArmor config.

echo 'kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0' | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/60-apparmor-namespace.conf > /dev/null && sudo sysctl --system

sudo sysctl -w kernel.apparmor_restrict_unprivileged_userns=0

---

6 - Add user openspabuilder

sudo adduser openspabuilder

---

7 - Switch to user openspabuilder

su - openspabuilder

---

8 - Add your git user and email

git config --global user.email "you@example.com"

git config --global user.name "Your Name"

---

9 - Create folder openspa8.x

mkdir -p ~/openspa8.x

---

10 - Switch to folder openspa8.x

cd openspa8.x

---

11 - Clone oe-alliance git

git clone git://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment.git -b 5.5.1

---

12 - Switch to folder build-enviroment

cd build-enviroment

---

13 - Update build-enviroment

make update

---

14 - Finally you can start building a image

• Build an image with feed (build time 5-12h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make image
  

• Build an image without feed (build time 1-2h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make enigma2-image
  

• Build the feeds

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make feeds
  

• Build specific packages

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make init
  
  cd builds/openspa/release/zgemmah9combo/
  
  source env.source
  
  bitbake nfs-utils rpcbind ...
