Dreambox tricks

For a dreambox 500 et al:


Setup the dreambox CDK environment with these steps. I used RHEL 5 but I am sure the fedora or others would work fine. Prerequisites here can be found here: cvs.tuxbox.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/tuxbox/cdk/doc/INSTALL.en?rev=HEAD


export CVS_RSH=ssh
cvs -d anoncvs@cvs.tuxbox.org:/cvs/tuxbox -z3 co -P -rdreambox .

cd cdk
chmod 755 prepare
./prepare dm500
make checkout
make core
(when it bombed on nptl-0.60.tar.bz2)
cd Archive
wget http://ftp.devil-linux.org/pub/devel/sources/1.2/nptl-0.60.tar.bz2
cd ..
make core

Hey look, another tech blog
