Hi Guys,

I need some help. I'm building diskless HTPC by PXE using XBMC-Live, but XBMC-Live not come with nfs-common and portmap which required for stream from nfs server. I know I can install on persistent mount, but because all my diskless HTPC will use nfs, I prefer to make it into XBMC-Live image. So I downloaded XBMC source code and build XBMC-Live image myself. But I need some guide on how can I install addition package before make image file.

Thanks a lot

piece of cake:

debian's live-build manual

hence these are the SDK files

Thanks for your reply. One more question how can I change default password for xbmc during building live image? I only find change password for tvhead.

that's a little bit harder since the default pwd comes from xbmc-live package.
You would need to create your own build hook, resetting the password of xbmc user.

I c, thanks.

BTW, after I build my own XBMCLive, nvidia driver cannot load. I think this probably because I'm building it from a virtual machine? Do I had to build it on a PC with nVidia video card? In that case, how can XBMC Live support ATI, nVidia and Intel at same time?

I'm using command "buildWithOption.sh -l" (Live only, no installer). Build was done on 10.04.1.

Also, when check package before build start, it missing check "curl", so it gives error during build.

[lcapriotti]

you can build on any PC provided that you have all the needed packages - btw, curl is included in the required packages list.
Autosensing GPU is happening at runtime.

Without a full build log I can't be of any additional help, sorry.

Of course you can... Aren't we all mind readers

Good day!
I need some help.
I'm building XBMC-Live (Ubuntu natty).
I'm using command "buildWithOption.sh -k" and workarea from /SDK/ not removed.
In the next build i'm using command buildWithOption.sh -k and when running script /SDK/build.sh running "Cleaning workarea" and it all starts again - creating new workarea, downloads packages...
question: there is command to rebuild binary.iso from old /SDK/workarea without downloading packages?
The lb clean command will clean up all generated files from the previous build except for the cache, which saves having to re-download packages.
This ensures that the subsequent lb build will re-run all stages to regenerate the files from our new configuration.
maybe so :
build.sh line number 51 cleanup()
how to change cleanup() ?
Thanks .
p.s. Google Translate is bad ?

You need to download packages anyway, not possible to skip it.

What you can do is use apt-cacher-ng and launch buildWithOptions.sh using -p http://127.0.0.1:3142 (in case the cacher is running on your build machine).
