Shell Building mfslinux on FreeBSD

[balanga]

After looking around the openwrt site it looks like I should be able to come up with something based on the following instructions:-



It will probably take me a while to extract the correct filenames, but I'll just make a note here for myself for some task to do in the future...

Here's a little script which highlights the packages which need to be update:-

workdir=~/mfslinux/workdir
mkdir -p $workdir
cd $workdir
fetch -o - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mmatuska/mfslinux/master/config/default/openwrt_packages_add | sort >pkgs.orig.
sed -e 's/_.*$//;/base/!d;s/^.*\///;s/^/Filename:\ /; s/$/_/' pkgs.orig >pkgs.b
sed -e 's/_.*$//;/packages/!d;s/^.*\///;s/^/Filename:\ /; s/$/_/' pkgs.orig >pkgs.p
fetch -o base.Packages https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0/packages/x86_64/base/Packages
fetch -o packages.Packages https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/21.02.0/packages/x86_64/packages/Packages
grep -f pkgs.b base.Packages | sed -e 's/Filename:\ /base\//'>pkgs.b.files
grep -f pkgs.p packages.Packages | sed -e 's/Filename:\ /packages\//'>pkgs.p.files
cat pkgs.b.files pkgs.p.files > pkgs.all
diff -y --suppress-common-lines pkgs.orig pkgs.all

Just notice that '-y' is not recognised in the version of diff I have on one of my systems which is running FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p2!

This is what the output should look like:

Revisiting an old thread I had forgotten about.

I can't find a downloadble version of the latest mfslinux (0.1.12) the existance of which I only know from

https://github.com/mmatuska/mfslinux/blob/master/README.md

FreeBSD

    git (devel/git), mkisofs (sysutils/cdrtools), opkg-cl (archivers/opkg)
    linux64 module loaded for opkg chroot

FreshPorts -- archivers/opkg: OpenWrt package manager

The opkg utility (an ipkg fork) is a lightweight package manager used to download and install OpenWrt packages from local package repositories or ones located in the Internet. opkg is part of the OpenWrt project This is a patched version with chroot support WWW...

archivers/opkg: rename to archivers/opkg-openwrt

This was done seven years ago!

Running gmake after adding the required packages results in

Downloading: base/ca-certificates_20240203-r1_all.ipk
fetch: https://downloads.openwrt.org/relea..._64//base/ca-certificates_20240203-r1_all.ipk: Not Found
gmake: *** [Makefile:165: download_packages] Error 1

This is because the required file is in a different location:

https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/24.10.0/packages/x86_64/base/ca-certificates_20240203-r1_all.ipk

I'm reluctant to change the Makefile.

How to resolve this?

 

[balanga]

After making substantial changes to mfslinux/config/default/openwrt_packages_add to use newer versions of files referenced, I was able to build it successfully on FreeBSD.

One thing I'd like to have is a higher resolution, the equivalent of installing the pkg drm-kmod and using i915kms.ko in FreeBSD, but have no idea about how to go about achieving that.
