    Re: [dev] Tuxbox NewMake for DUMMIES

    nice one

    some of the configure options i never knew.

    for dummies is normal for computer tutorials and not meant nasty berley, look in smiths and there is a shelf full of for dummies book, it's a way of saying even someone with no knowledge can do it without getting bogged down with the technicalitys.

    Re: [dev] Tuxbox NewMake for DUMMIES

    Looks a good guide Nitr8 but I think I have a few ultra dummy questions first


    How do you make diff files?


    How to make a neutrino

    I am going to give it a try but starting from a very low base...

    Re: [dev] Tuxbox NewMake for DUMMIES

    I have downloaded the CVS as per the instructions - Hidden Content

    I see now how I can edit the source but still do not know how to produce a diff file and then a neutrino - Help appreciated.

    Re: [dev] Tuxbox NewMake for DUMMIES

    @Nitr8

    Starting agin to download the CVS and did the 3 commands from th eDummies guide but the second command keeps getting the following error..

    Code:
    y@y-desktop:~/tuxbox/tuxbox-cvs/cdk$ cvs -z3 -d Hidden Content :/cvs/tuxbox co -R newmake -P cdk/newmake.files
    cvs: WARNING: Read-only repository access mode selected via `cvs -R'.
    Using this option to access a repository which some users write to may
    cause intermittent sandbox corruption.
    cvs server: cannot find module `newmake' - ignored
    cvs server: cannot find module `-P' - ignored
    cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules
    The third command appears to still work - Are there any implications in this - bear in mind I still don't really get the principls of this process, just know how to messs with the code at the end...

    I am also getting an error when configuring about the switch --enable-maintainer-mode not being recognised. I can compile without it.

    Can I work on that compiled CVS? Or is it corrupt?

    Re: [dev] Tuxbox NewMake for DUMMIES

    newmake is now in HEAD so you can leave the "-r newmake" option to cvs out.
    BTW, you can also get the sources via git from Hidden Content
