Building ARM sysroot
These steps were tested on fresh Ubuntu 11.04 system.
1. Add bellow line to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/meego-sdk.list
deb http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/tools/repos/ubuntu/10.10/ /
Note: if needed import MeeGo GPG key:
gpg --keyserver pgpkeys.mit.edu --recv 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A gpg --export --armor 0BC7BEC479FC1F8A | sudo apt-key add -
2. Update available packages
sudo apt-get update
3. Install required tools
sudo apt-get install mic2 btrfs-tools qemu-arm-static
Note: On Ubuntu 11.04 install qemu-kvm-extras-static instead of qemu-arm-static package
4. Get latest available kickstart file to create ARM sysroot from http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.2.0.90/latest/builddata/image-configs/, e.g.:
wget http://repo.meego.com/MeeGo/builds/1.2.0.90/1.2.0.90.12.20110809.2/builddata/image-configs/handset-armv7hl-madde-sysroot.ks
5. Try to build tarball with ARM sysroot:
sudo mic-image-creator --format=fs --compress-disk-image=none --package=tar.bz2 --arch=armv7hl --save-kernel --config=handset-armv7hl-madde-sysroot.ks --release=1.2.0.90.12.20110809.2
Troubleshooting:
Add parameters --verbose --debug if it will fail for any reason
If you are behind a proxy, you can set it to mic by adding
proxy=http://proxy.yourcompany.com:8080 to /etc/mic2/mic2.conf.
If installation of packages fails for some reason then change package manager to yum: --pkgmgr=yum
Disable vdso:
echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/vdso_enabled
If something goes wrong try to remove old meego bootstrap:
rm -rf /var/cache/meego-bootstrap
