The Dextrose build system runs on '''Fedora 11 i386''' through '''Fedora 13 x86_64'''. The host system runs '''shouldn't''' matter, because the build runs in a chroot environment. olpc-os-builder does not yet run on Ubuntu due to a missing dependency.

The Dextrose build system runs on '''Fedora 11 i386''' through '''Fedora 13 x86_64''' ('''Fedora 14 beta''' can be used also). The host system runs '''shouldn't''' matter, because the build runs in a chroot environment. olpc-os-builder does not yet run on Ubuntu due to a missing dependency.

The initial build requires about '''700MB''' of rpm packages and Sugar activity bundles. The packages and bundles are cached for futures builds.

== Initial setup ==

* Install dependencies (you need to be root to do this)

yum upgrade

yum install libtomcrypt-devel bitfrost make gcc mtd-utils python-imgcreate zip unzip zlib-devel

* Checkout Dextrose build system

git clone git://git.sugarlabs.org/dextrose/mainline.git dextrose

* Install dependencies

~~yum upgrade~~

~~yum install libtomcrypt-devel bitfrost make gcc mtd-utils python-imgcreate zip unzip zlib-devel~~

* Compile build helper programs

cd dextrose

make

* Generate initial sequence number for the builds

* Generate initial sequence number for the builds (42 is just for an example)

echo 42 >buildnr-dx

== Creating a build ==

* Run the Build

* Run the Build (again you need to be root to able to do this)

time ./osbuilder.py examples/dextrose2-xo1.ini

obviusly you can use sudo if your user is configured to do this, and the you can use this

time ~~sudo~~ ./osbuilder.py examples/dextrose2-xo1.ini

time ./osbuilder.py examples/dextrose2-xo1.ini

The initial build may take several hours depending on available bandwith. Subsequent builds will take about 15-20 minutes
