Note
Compilation will take approximately 15 minutes (varies with your system's
configuration).
Compilation will involve downloading of files from the internet. Approximately 100 MB
disk space will be needed for the downloaded files and a further 500 MB will be needed
during the Compilation process.
1. Copy the samples/payloads/launcher-payload/src/kboot-10-launcher-kernel-config as
samples/payloads/kboot/kboot-10/config/kernel-config.
a) Kboot will attempt to download the following files if you issue make:
i. binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2
ii. busybox-1.1.1.tar.bz2
iii. busybox-1.2.2.tar.bz2
iv. dropbear-0.48.1.tar.gz
v. gcc-core-3.4.6.tar.bz2
vi. gcc-core-4.0.3.tar.bz2
vii. kbd-1.12.tar.gz
viii. kexec-tools-1.101.tar.gz
ix. lilo-22.7.3.src.tar.gz
x. linux-2.6.16.1.tar.bz2
xi. linux-2.6.18.tar.bz2
xii. uClibc-0.9.28.tar.bz2
xiii. udev-088.tar.bz2
b) If you want to avoid this (for example, if your corporate firewall blocks the
download), do the following:
i. Create the samples/payloads/kboot/kboot-10/dl folder if necessary.
Manually download the files from the respective websites and place them
in the samples/payloads/kboot/kboot-10/dl folder.
ii.
Create an .ok file for each of these by touching it. For example:
For binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2, use the command,
touch binutils-2.16.1.tar.bz2.ok
2. Empty the samples/payloads/kboot/patches/kboot-10/ directory if present. If not
present, create it.
3. Copy the samples/payloads/launcher-payload/src/kboot-10-patches-launcher.tar.gz to
the samples/payloads/kboot/patches/kboot-10/ directory.
Change directory to samples/payloads/kboot/patches/kboot-10/ directory.
Extract the kboot-10-patches-launcher.tar.gz inside the current directory.
These patches modify the kboot build environment before the build process starts.
