What do I need?

• x86/x64 machine running any OS; 4G ram, SSD, quad core (recommended),
• VirtualBox or similar virtualization software (highly recommended),
• alternatively - Docker, systemd-nspawn or other containerization software,
• compilation environment is highly recommended to be Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 or Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 (other releases are not officially supported),
• installed basic system, OpenSSH and Samba (optional),
• superuser rights (configured sudo or root shell),
• cca. 20G of free space.

How to start?

Login as root and run:

apt-get -y -qq install git
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib
cp lib/compile.sh .
nano compile.sh # alter if necessary

Run the script

./compile.sh

Supplying options via command line parameters

Instead of editing compile.sh to set options, you can set them by supplying command line parameters to compile.sh Example:

./compile.sh BRANCH=next BOARD=cubietruck KERNEL_ONLY=yes PROGRESS_DISPLAY=plain RELEASE=jessie

Note: Option BUILD_ALL cannot be set to "yes" via command line parameter.
