Thanks Terry,Terry H wrote:Wooohooo, I'm sorta late top the party. Just did my first build. I'm posting from it now. Just a basic xenial64. This build system is fantastic. It took about an hour from scratch. Frugal install to my Desktop PC. Wonderful!
Thank you wiak for all the work you put in creating this puppy build system.
Now to have a play and see what i can build.
I am aware of how this is a front end to woof-CE. I appreciate the talents of BarryK with his creation of woof and all who have contributed to the woof-CE system. But I was just really pleased with how it simplified the process so much. I have had no success with any attempts at using woof or woof-CE. Your frontend is a game changer.wiak wrote:Thanks Terry,Terry H wrote:Wooohooo, I'm sorta late top the party. Just did my first build. I'm posting from it now. Just a basic xenial64.

But really, makepup is just a frontend to woof-CE (original written by BarryK and since forked and added to by some community members). So makepup is just my attempt to automate the already long-existing woof-CE build system and make it hopefully easy (or easier) to use, with one or two extras in terms of automating adding extra packages and alternative kernels.

I had the chosen kernel in the specified folder but I'm at a loss on how to select in to build?
I left the dialogue box alone and it pulled in a slacko kernel during a ubuntu build and I tried dragging the file to the dialogue box then the script got locked in a loop at select kernel
apologies, I still do no understand how I select my kernel
Code: Select all
/read choice_k3/ c choice_k3='"$nHUGEKERNEL"' #wiak was: read choice_k3
Code: Select all
echo "Please choose the number of the kernel you wish to use"
Is local repositories/huge-kernel linked back to woof_out****/huge_kernel ?ally wrote:ok, still struggling
I've created a huge-kernel using stemsee's SUKK and placed it in local repositories/huge-kernel folder
running the script it does not pick up my kernel but downloads selection 29
what am I doing wrong?
Sorry, I'm pretty sure the above suggestion that woof-out_*/huge_kernel should symlink back to local-repositories/huge_kernel isn't correct, but I'll have to check all that again to be sure. Rather, there is code in support/huge_kernels.sh that I believe is designed to copy any huge kernel in local-repositories/huge_kernels over into woof-out_*/huge_kernel/.peebee wrote: Is local repositories/huge-kernel linked back to woof_out****/huge_kernel ?
It needs to be....
Similar to packages-pet and packages-*** which are links
Code: Select all
download_kernel() {
local URL="$1" TARBALL="${1##*/}"
if [ -f ../../local-repositories/huge_kernels/${TARBALL} ] ; then
echo "Verifying ../../local-repositories/huge_kernels/${TARBALL}"
if tar -taf ../../local-repositories/huge_kernels/${TARBALL} &>/dev/null ; then
cp -fv ../../local-repositories/huge_kernels/${TARBALL} ../huge_kernel/
return
fi
elif [ -f ../huge_kernel/${TARBALL} ] ; then
echo "Verifying ../huge_kernel/${TARBALL}"
if tar -taf ../huge_kernel/${TARBALL} &>/dev/null ; then
cp -fv ../huge_kernel/${TARBALL} ../../local-repositories/huge_kernels/
return
fi
fi
Code: Select all
IS_KERNEL=`ls ../huge_kernel/*.tar.* 2>/dev/null | wc -l`
