15 - Ubuntu 26.04 Users, building OE-A 5.6.
Edit openembedded-core/meta/classes-global/base-bbclass
- change line 130 ----> srctool = bb.utils.which(path, tool, executable=True)
- to 1line update ----> srctool = (bb.utils.which(path, "gnu" + tool, executable=True) or bb.utils.which(path, tool, executable=True))
Unzip OE5.6onUB26.04.zip attachment from post #968 in https://world-of-satellite.com/threads/build-my-own-vix-image.61295/page-49
Copy unzipped files from recipes-local into your OE-A 5.6 meta-local/recipes-local
16 - Initialise the first machine so site.conf gets created
MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make init
17 - Update site.conf
- BB_NUMBER_THREADS, PARALLEL_MAKE set to number of threads supported by the CPU
- add/modify DL_DIR = " location for build sources " to point to a location where you can save
derived build sources, this will reduce build time in fetching these sources again.
- Avoid wasting disk space creating spdx packages: INHERIT:remove = "create-spdx"
18 - Building image with feeds e.g.:-
MACHINE=vuultimo4k DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make image
19 - Building an image without feeds (Build time 1-2h)
MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make enigma2-image
20 - Building feeds only
MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openvix DISTRO_TYPE=release make feeds
