    Building picons using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

    Hi im trying to build picons but I dont understand some of the instructions and looking for a bit of guidance.

    Im using the instructions here https://github.com/picons/picons-source

    I have used command git clone https://github.com/picons/picons-source.git /mnt/c/picons-source using Bash on Ubuntu on Windows

    This creates a folder in OS (C called picons-source

    Then I have dragged my enigma folder to build-input folder

    This is the process I dont understand

    I have used command cd /mnt/c/picons-source
    Then

    ./1-build-servicelist.sh
    ./2-build-picons.sh

    I now get

    Code:
    /1-build-servicelist.sh
    ./2-build-p
    Log file located at: /tmp/tmp.KTSipzh6US.servicelist.log
    i
    cons.shWhich style are you going to build?
    1) Service Reference
    2) Service Name
    #?
    Im not sure what to do next I press 2 for service name but I get another question mark, I get the same when I type Service Name

    So the question is how do I tell it what Picons I want to build?

    The tmp directory is probably emptied after a reboot.

    After it finished converting channels it says

    Code:
    Enigma2: Exported to /mnt/c/picons-source/build-output/servicelist-enigma2-snp
    TvHeadend (file-mode): /mnt/c/picons-source/build-input/tvheadend not found
    TvHeadend (server-mode): /mnt/c/picons-source/build-input/tvheadend.serverconf not found
    VDR: /mnt/c/picons-source/build-input/channels.conf not found
    I now have a file in build-output called servicelist-enigma2-snp this has just a reference of the picons ie

    You should have a folder called binaries-snp or binaries-snp-full containing the picons in build-output

    Thanks but I didn't have that folder just servicelist-enigma2-snp.

    I've had issues with my laptop and reinstalled Windows 10 and now Windows store won't load for some reason once I fix it I'll have another go at building picons and let you know how I get on thanks

    Bump trying this again and get the same error

    Enigma2: Exported to /mnt/c/picons/build-output/servicelist-enigma2-snp.txt
    TvHeadend (server-mode): /mnt/c/picons/build-input/tvheadend.serverconf not found
    VDR: /mnt/c/picons/build-input/channels.conf not found

    Where do I get channels.conf?

    You don't. This is NOT an error message - it's just recording the fact that you don't have the file.
    (Don't blame me - I'm only reading the code to see what it does).

    The problem with this generator is the documentation. Its actually very simple and straight forward - once you have done it..... but afraid I need to be on my linux PC to answer your questions ... and thats tomorrow!

    You probably need to install packages librsvg2-bin (for rsvg) and pngquant.
    For some reason it doesn't check this at the start when it does check about a dozen other things.

    Not sure why you can't find a log file, though. I'll run through thing son Ubuntu for Windows and see what happens for me.
