[andyblac]

here is the Gui makefile i promised. Vu only atm ET's coming soon, there are too unstable yet, give me a week.unzip the file, and make sure it is 0755, then run this in terminal
sudo apt-get install expect-dev zenity -yand then double click on the 'build OpenVix' file and choose RUNthen just chose what you want to build

[rossi2000]

nice work
is this only for desktop versions of ubuntu

as im getting this
error
./buildOpenViX

(zenity:3232): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

[silverfox0786]

yes mate its gui so ubuntu server wont work ideal is ubuntu 10.10 desktop

depending on hardware you can get away with 11.04 desktop

one thing to add this will only build a clean image of VIX any changes made like yr own addon or changes and the script wont build the image

[rossi2000]

doh, no probs
cheers silver

[andyblac]

the script is just a GUI makefile, if you understand OE you can do the same as any other OE would. i.e. add remove default plugins to your image etc.

Hello, and for the buildvix etx00 it is or

[Stanman]

The ET are still on ET9000/ET5000, we have not released a X image yet.

[silverfox0786]

Hello, and for the buildvix etx00 it is or

untill vix reelases the new ET series images they build gui wont be able to build them as they are very unstable images

as soon as ET series are released then the build script will be reelased for that too

[Larry-G]

Hello, and for the buildvix etx00 it is or

as stated by my colleagues you will not be able to use this to build a ET series image until they are officially released. this is because they are still classed as BETA builds and not public, once they move to full release status you can build till your little heart is content.

personally i dont know why people wanna build VIX them selves any way

VIX is so damn good and stable all on its own that i would eat my hat if an end user can actually add anything to it to make it any better than it is in GM status

dont get me wrong bugs are continually fixed and then again added to the GM built git but what i dont usnderstand is a user building an image that is available already to download and install

the only reason to build an image is to change it but then there aint much to do with VIX its that stable good and feature rich

[btw your own build wont be supported on this forum as we cannot determin what has been done and if its a clean build no changes made then whats the point just download and flash the official vix from vix thread]

Top add to this. Personally, if anyone can add on to this and make it better, I think they should be asking us if we would like them to come in and help us out...

i can see why some people would want to use ViX as a base to their own image as it would bring all the stability and improvements we have over other images.

TBH its not important at all, but would save time. Is there a makefile for the 2.3 ET9x series yet? I just fancy having a better insight. Thanks

[judge]

does this script still work?
out of work for the next few months & would love to help out on beta testing.

It keeps crapping out on

for me, any ideas?

[silverfox0786]

the script still works

your not pulling the complete git properly

are you using the script?

[judge]

Thanks silver, using the script, but on Ubuntu 12.10 beta. Maybe that's the issue? but if so should be easily sorted.
Is this how you guys build the test builds?
any idea what I could be missing?

Hi Judge, please send me a PM are we're on the lookout for new beta testers ;)

[judge]

PM sent, cheers mate.

[silverfox0786]

not tried building on 12.10

i remeber trying on 11 and that for me was a no go

i use a tried and tested version 10.10 and get no issues

just delpoy the script and it will install whats needed

except the OE environment which you need to install your self

have a look here to get yr OE setup

Thanks silver, hadn't seen that article before.
Now sorted, my directory structure was wrong, spotted it by reading that.

What was wrong? How did you fix it? I cant make it work.

fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly

[silverfox0786]

thats a sub module and should pul by itself

delete yr OpenEmbedded folder and start again

actually, it didn't build for me in the end either. I gave up...

[rossi2000]

its trying to pull it from andyblac instead of e2openplugins.


Clone of 'git://github.com/andyblac/e2openplugins.git' into submodule path
should be
Clone of 'git://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugins.git' into submodule path

to pull it manually:-
cd /your/oe/path/recipes/e2openplugins
git clone git://github.com/E2OpenPlugins/e2openplugins.git .

then try the build process again.

Thanks, that did the trick. But I was hoping to get new beta. :p
It's 2.3.204 :(

you wont get access to any ViX beta image as thats a closed source only accessible by the beta team. the git your using connects only the the public image and nothing more.

I managed to get a build but now it's erroring out

you wont get access to any ViX beta image as thats a closed source only accessible by the beta team. the git your using connects only the the public image and nothing more.

not closed, just no support given on it. ;)
