Build/compile my own BH image from source?

Vu+ Newbie
Hi guys,

After trying my best on Google aswell as the forum search engine, I've gotten no hits giving me what I'm after, so I'm taking a shot with my first forum post! :-)

Ever since I first got my hands on a Vu+ Solo device, I've fallen in love with it.

I've fallen in love with the features and user friendly approach from the BH images, especially 1.7.6 - can't wait to upgrade my box to 1.7.7.

However, being this is based on open source, and I'm a curious person, I really want to be able to build my own BH image from scratch and attempt to get a deeper understanding of all the features and functions, aswell as hopefully be able to contribute with further development - but I have had zero luck finding a repository and build instructions. I would have assumed it's available in the Wiki somewhere, but turns out I have no permission to view it (perhaps because it's still being worked on?).

Can somebody please point me to where I can download the sources, hopefully via a repository using git so I can always keep a local synced copy of the sources - also, if there are build instructions, that'd be great.

The system I am using here is a system I've used for cross compiling several times before - no problem building OpenPLi images for Dreamboxes or DDWRT images for my DIR-825 router for example, so I believe I am all set in regards to system requirements.

Thank you in advance!

http://code.vuplus.com : official Vu+ git repository and much more
 
Hi,

Thanks. Got that much already! :-) Was able to build a working Black Pole image using the Makefile available in that part of this forum, but am looking more specifically for the Black Hole makefile as BP lacked a few wife friendly functions - or did you mean that the official Vu+ repo has everything necessary for Black Hole aswell?

The threads I'm referring to ;

BlackHole Makefile is not avaiable.
 
Allright, no makefile available. Gotcha.

I guess that I'm either not expressing myself well, or you are ignoring my question on purpose. ;-)

I want to compile the latest version(s) of the Black Hole image(s) myself - and end up with an identical image as the Black Hole project would have released.

Is there anything else needed, except for what is in the official repo you kindly pointed me to above, for that to happen?
 
no there is not a way to compile your bh image, here you can compile only Black Pole image.
if you like to compile a more complete image by yourself i suggest openpli project.
 
Perfect, I'll dig deeper with the Black Pole image. I was a bit surprised to see the difference in the images - especially that the remote control wasn't working the same way between the two images, that's why I wanted to look closer at the Black Hole image instead. Guess I'll figure out how to copy that configuration from an install BH image instead. :)

Not to poke where my nose really doesn't belong, but being rather new around here and not finding much details in the forums about this, I'm curious - what is the reason for no public repo/build information for the BH image?

Thank you for your time!

The remote control works in different way because Black Pole is based on OpenPli git that is not vu native but was dreambox native and later extended to many other boxes and primary to ETxxxx.
The Black Hole image have not an own git but it is based on official vu+ git. The enigma2 source code from Vu+ is different in many parts by Openpli, for this reason the remote control in Black Hole works in native mode because the code is by Vu+.

Black Hole team have not time and resources to mantain two different gits and all the support. For this reason was started Black Pole that was fully on line.
But nobody till today have helped proposing code and changes and Pli have switched in the meanwhile to OE 2.0 with a new git (serie 3).
So at the presente Black Pole should be entirely restarted from zero and based on the new Openpli git but we are only hobbyst with our work and familly and at the present we cannot find time and resources.
