"mybld" command setup

Important

All the commands are enter via your account. It means no need to use the root account.

Once the GIT project is recovered, all manipulations MUST be done from the folder containing your GIT project.

Setup

Tools (packages to install)

It is assumed that your NuTyX is free from any development package. So we start by installing the utilities:

get rsync git

Get the GIT project

We start by cloning the GIT project containing all the NuTyX recipes:

git clone -b <branch> https://github.com/NuTyX/packages-x86_64.git <branch>

Once the GIT project in place, we move to the root of it, indeed the command mybld uses information from the GIT (VERSION, USERNAME, EMAIL, etc).

Go to the root of the project

cd <branch>

Setup my name and email

git config --global user.name "James Bond"
git config --global user.email "james@nutyx.org"

Implementation of working directories

The mybld command uses a set of folders for its operation, they must therefore be created using the command:

mybld -I

You can adjust the operating folders locations in the configuration file ~/.mybld via the variables ROOT, ROOTMOUNT and VERSION.

Available Collections

Choose the collection you want to work on. Depending on the collection chosen, you will need to retrieve the collections specified in the right column.

Retrieving binaries collections

Depending the choose collection, launch the command:

mybld -s name_of_collection

For example, to use the gui collection, run the command:

for i in base cli gui; do mybld -s $i;done

You can specify a custom address and version in the ~/.mybld configuration file via the URL and VERSION variables.

Using the command

(Re)Compile a package

mybld name_of_package

Increment the version and recompile a package

mybld -i name_of_the_package

Advanced mode

To illustrate the purpose of --pause option, I will try to compile nftables

Entering into the chroot

mybld -p nftables

You are now in chroot.
Type exit when finish.

 Good luck !!!
 

Where is what

Go on with compilation

cards create nftables

If an error occur now, it will just return to the prompt:

checking for LIBMNL... yes
checking for LIBNFTNL... no
configure: error:
  Package requirements (libnftnl >= 1.1.8) were not met:

No package 'libnftnl' found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
if you installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables
 LIBNFTNL_CFLAGS and LIBNFTNL_LIBS
 to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

PKG=/tmp/work/pkg

make DESTDIR=$PKG install
install -Dm644 ../nftables.conf "$PKG/etc/nftables/nftables.conf"

Packing up

cd /mybld/rolling/cli-extra/nftables/
pkgmk -po
