    How to build the ROM's!

    -

    If you have anything special in a directory called libreboot_bin, just outside of libreboot_src, - then back it up first.

    -

    You don't need to do much: there are scripts already written for you that can build everything automatically.

    -

    Install all dependencies (works on apt-get distros, tested in Trisquel 6)
    - $ sudo ./builddeb

    - -

    If your distro uses a different package manager or package names, then you'll need to adapt what you see in - 'builddeb' and install it yourself - maybe you could share the script for your distro!

    - -

    Also, make sure that you have the sha512sum utility installed.

    + First, install the build dependencies. +

    If running for the first time, run this:
    $ ./buildall (also performs the "./build" step below)

    To un-build (clean) the build dependencies that you built before, do that:
    + This also deletes the ROM images under ./bin/:
    $ ./cleandeps

    Note: after running 'cleandeps', you will need to run 'builddeps' or 'buildall' again before you can use 'build'.

    -

    After 'build' or 'buildall' has finished, an ../libreboot_bin directory will exist outside of libreboot_src containing the ROM's and other files. In libreboot_src will also be - a directory called 'bin' which contains all of the ROM's that you compiled.

    After 'build' or 'buildall' has finished, you'll find the ROM images for each machine under ./bin/

    -

    The script also generates a 'libreboot_meta' directory outside of libreboot_src, which contains everything in src except for grub, coreboot, memtest, - flashrom and bucts. There is a script called 'getall' from src included in meta, which downloads and patches everything needed to create src.

    +

    Preparing release archives (optional)

    + +

    + Run that script:

    Reading all of those scripts will teach you how everything is built. It should also be simple to modify it to your needs.

    + You'll find that the files libreboot_bin.tar.xz and libreboot_src.tar.xz have been created. +
