Overview

What we learn in this chapter? Install, play and fun with Debian distro ...


Host Enviroment

We suggest use Debian 9.02 (64 bits) in your host, you can download it from our server using this link or directly from debian website. You can install it in a Virtual Machine enviroment using any Virtualization software or directly in your PC.

After install is recommended update the package list with:

sudo apt-get update

Install Development packages

Now is time to install some packages if you want to build your own distribution.

GCC, G++, libc Cross Compiler

You can install the cross compiler if you want to build u-boot, linux kernel or applications using your host PC and compile for IGEP board as target.

sudo apt-get install gcc-arm-linux-gnueabi gcc-arm-linux-gnueabihf g++-arm-linux-gnueabi g++-arm-linux-gnueabihf libc6-armel-cross libc6-armhf-cross libc6-dev-armhf-cross libc6-dev-armel-cross crossbuild-essential-armel crossbuild-essential-armhf

Build Ubuntu packages

if you're idea is build ubuntu packages then you need install other packages

sudo apt-get install build-essential devscripts dh-make quilt autogen autoconf dh-autoreconf dh-buildinfo dh-make pkg-config kernel-package

Pbuilder

A pbuilder environment is a chrooted environment which can have a different distro series or architecture than your host system.

sudo apt-get install pbuilder qemu-user-static

Create ~/.pbuilderrc file with your own pbuilder setup script, upu can use below script:

# !/bin/sh
set -e
if [ "$OS" == "debian" ]; then
    MIRRORSITE="http://ftp.no.debian.org/debian/"
    COMPONENTS="main contrib non-free"
    DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("${DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[@]}"
         "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/debian-archive-keyring.gpg")
    : ${DIST:="wheezy"}
    : ${ARCH:="amd64"}
    if [ "$DIST" == "wheezy" ]; then
        #EXTRAPACKAGES="$EXTRAPACKAGES debian-backports-keyring"
        OTHERMIRROR="$OTHERMIRROR | deb $MIRRORSITE wheezy-backports $COMPONENTS"
    fi
elif [ "$OS" == "raspbian" ]; then
    MIRRORSITE="http://ftp.acc.umu.se/mirror/raspbian/raspbian/"
    COMPONENTS="main contrib non-free"
    DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("${DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[@]}"
        "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/raspbian-archive-keyring.gpg")
    : ${DIST:="wheezy"}
    : ${ARCH:="armhf"}
elif [ "$OS" == "ubuntu" ]; then
    MIRRORSITE="http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/"
    COMPONENTS="main restricted universe multiverse"
    DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("${DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[@]}"
        "--keyring=/usr/share/keyrings/ubuntu-archive-keyring.gpg")
else
    echo "Unknown OS: $OS"
    exit 1
fi
if [ "$DIST" == "" ]; then
    echo "DIST is not set"
    exit 1
fi
if [ "$ARCH" == "" ]; then
    echo "ARCH is not set"
    exit 1
fi
NAME="$OS-$DIST-$ARCH"
if [ "$ARCH" == "armel" ] && [ "$(dpkg --print-architecture)" != "armel" ]; then
    DEBOOTSTRAP="qemu-debootstrap"
fi
if [ "$ARCH" == "armhf" ] && [ "$(dpkg --print-architecture)" != "armhf" ]; then
    DEBOOTSTRAP="qemu-debootstrap"
fi
DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS=("${DEBOOTSTRAPOPTS[@]}" "--arch=$ARCH")
BASETGZ="/var/cache/pbuilder/$NAME-base.tgz"
DISTRIBUTION="$DIST"
BUILDRESULT="/var/cache/pbuilder/$NAME/result/"
APTCACHE="/var/cache/pbuilder/$NAME/aptcache/"
BUILDPLACE="/var/cache/pbuilder/build"
HOOKDIR="/var/cache/pbuilder/hook.d/"

The .pbuilderrc file cares about three environment variables:

OS: Either debian, raspbian, or ubuntu DIST: For example wheezy, jessie, trusty, stretch ... ARCH: For example amd64, i386, armel, or armhf

Examples:

sudo OS=debian DIST=wheezy ARCH=amd64 pbuilder --create
sudo OS=debian DIST=wheezy ARCH=i386 pbuilder --create
sudo OS=debian DIST=wheezy ARCH=armel pbuilder --create
sudo OS=debian DIST=wheezy ARCH=armhf pbuilder --create
