Full build instructions for LibreElec first time build. This is mostly Milhouses readme with added instructions for first time users. Hope this helps anyone who is struggling to build there own LibreElec with custom hardware support.
Get a github ID.. Sign up at github.com
Install Ubuntu minimal 54mb 1604 build make sure ssh is installed along with xubuntu minimal.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Instal.../MinimalCD Once installed open terminal in the gui and do the following:
1.1 Configure git (change user.name/user.email as appropriate) both steps are required.
$ sudo apt-get install git
$ git config --global user.name "YourGithubUsername"
$ git config --global user.email "
[email protected]"
$ git config --global push.default simple
Setup git so you don’t hit download limit of free users.
$ nano ~/.git.conf
GIT_USERNAME="YourusernameHere"
GIT_PASSWORD="YourpasswordHere"
1.2 Ubuntu dependencies, added gedit incase you don't want to use nano you can use gedit and the default browser does not seem to work so firefox was used, these are optional:
$ sudo apt-get install curl g++ gawk gperf xsltproc xfonts-utils default-jre libncurses5-dev texinfo ccache u-boot-tools python python3 firefox gedit
1.3 Environment setup:
$ cd ~
$ mkdir projects
$ cd projects
$ sudo apt-get install pv pxz pigz pastebinit patchutils
$ git clone git://github.com/LibreELEC/LibreELEC.tv.git
$ wget -q
http://nmacleod.com/public/oebuild/oebuild.tar.gz -O - | tar xvz
2. Configure your details in ~/projects/build.conf:
$ mv build.conf.sample build.conf
2.1 Edit build.conf. This is the step where you change profile. If you wish, set a default profile with the following entry (pi2 is an example):
[ -z "${PROFILE}" ] && PROFILE=pi2
"PROFILE=multi-master" will build both pi1 and pi2
$ nano ~/projects/build.conf
Or $ gedit ~/projects/build.conf
2.2 Add support for other hardware or make edits for driver support. You can also remove support to speed up build. This legacy hardware txt is below and adds support for geforce series 7 and SIL680 IDE card. This maybe a request for help on the forums. However you may also find methods online to add support for your hardware. This script is here as an example of the edits needed to add such support.
$ echo "=master forwardPatch
http://nmacleod.com/public/oebuild/patch...rdware.txt" >> ./lepull.dat
3. Start building:
cd ~/projects
PROFILE=multi-master ./autobuild.sh
ECHO LEGACY HARDWARE TXT file for support of Geforce Series 7 & SIL680 RAID/IDE CARD.
