Sailfish/Mer image build scripts

The set of scripts aims to help preparing Sailfish/Mer images for the Nexus 5 pocket computer in a clean, easy and reprodicible way. They have been largely written by following the guide, the wiki and advice from alin, sledges, vgrade and others in #sailfishos-porters at irc.freenode.org.

Instructions

  • Read the scripts starting from fullbuild.sh and try to understand what goes on and why! Description of the accepted options is printed by fullbuild.sh -h.

  • Backup ~/.hadk.env, ~/.mersdk.profile and ~/.mersdkubu.profile if you want to keep them. They will be overwriten!

  • Make sure the .sh files are executable and start the 'fullbuild.sh' script. After a shortwhile it will ask for the root password to enter the Mer chroot.

  • If all goes suffessfull, after an hour or so, a freshly baked image shall appear in the current working directory.

  • The scrips below fullbuild.sh, responsible for the different activities, can be executed in standalone mode after initial fullbuild.sh, to repeat certain parts of the build. Of these, ahal.sh, build-img.sh and the combined hal-mw-and-img.sh are probably most useful. Each script contains a short description in its heading.

Notes

  • If you have ~/.scratchbox2 it will be autobacked up to ~/.scratchbox2-$(date +%d-%m-%Y.%H-%M-%S) .

  • After successfull build the different scripts can be used manually intependently to update certain parts of the build. However they are not ducumented yet.

  • Repeated execution of the script is intended to only update the sources and rebuild the differences, the middleware and the image.

  • Before running the script ensure git is installed on the host, and your details are setup

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

  • If building hybris-hal in parallel mode fails, try "-jobs 1" (see example below).
