Installation of optware package manager on original MyBook:

If you're logged in as another user than root, use:

su -

Then, run following commands:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

wget http://mybookworld.wikidot.com/local--files/optware/setup-optware.sh

sh setup-optware.sh

Alternatively, run following commands one by one:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

feed=http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mbwe-bluering/cross/unstable

ipk_name=$(wget -qO- $feed/Packages | awk '/^Filename: ipkg-opt/ {print $2}')

wget $feed/$ipk_name

tar -xOvzf $ipk_name ./data.tar.gz | tar -C / -xzvf -

echo 'src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/mbwe-bluering/cross/unstable' >> /opt/etc/ipkg.conf

There're additional steps required for configuring Optware on MyBook, due to uclibc configuration peculiarities (lack of LDSO_RUNPATH option).

(1) Create a ld.so.conf file in /etc/ with one line of code (/opt/lib)

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

 echo "/opt/lib" >>/etc/ld.so.conf

(2) Run ldconfig

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

ldconfig

This works for any library path except /lib. It's good if you happen to have libraries scattered in different locations.

If you have allreay created /etc/ld.so.conf before, then you can edit it with vi or any other editor on your system and add the /opt/lib to the path. The file consists of 1 line, a colon deliminated list of locations to search for libraries on the computer. (The same format as the line for LD_LIBRARY_PATH, without the .:.)

After editing ld.so.conf you simply need to run ldconfig again.

If you want to see what libraries are available from your settings, run ldconfig -v and it will output every library it locates.

(3) configure the .bashrc file
In some cases steps 2 and 3 are not enough and you need add this to your /root/.bashrc file

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/lib

You will probaly need to use the vi editor to do this1. And vi is a bit non-intuative. I would recommend googling for a vi tutorial.

vi  /root/.bashrc

No need to do any of these additonal steps with the ldso-runpath-enabled-firmware
Then it's all fun:

Update local feed lists - you need to issue this from time to time to get package updates:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

/opt/bin/ipkg update

A good first thing to instal would be an alternative text editor like Nano. So follow the instructions here to install nano and test that you have the optware feed up and running properly.

See what's available, short descriptions included:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

/opt/bin/ipkg list

See what's already installed:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy



/opt/bin/ipkg list_installed

Install or upgrade packages:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

/opt/bin/ipkg install

This will download packages from the net with all the required dependencies. Note: there's the same command for installing and upgrading to a new version of package.

Deinstall packages:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

/opt/bin/ipkg remove

Again, due to uclibc configuration peculiarities, you may need to run ldconfig after package installation, if it complains that it can't find shared libraries.

If you install something that uses initialization and termination scripts (/opt/etc/init.d/*), you should add the file to /etc/init.d to run them on startup. Name the file S90optware

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

#!/bin/sh



if [ -d /opt/etc/init.d ] then

  for f in /opt/etc/init.d/S* ; do

    [ -x $f ] && $f start

  done

fi

Then make it executable:

Kod Pobierz kod źródłowy

chmod +x /etc/init.d/S90optware
