How to : Oscam compile tutorial

IN TERMINAL AS ROOT USER TYPE THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS

FIRST INSTALL REQUIRED PACKAGES
apt-get install proftpd gcc g++ make cmake bzip2 libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev subversion
OR
apt-get install gcc g++ cmake libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev subversion

NEXT DRIVERS DOWNLOAD FOR USB DEVICES
cd /usr/src
wget Download libusb from SourceForge.net
tar xjvf libusb-1.0.8.tar.bz2 (if you missing bzip2 then - apt-get install bzip2 and repeat previous command)
cd libusb-1.0.8
./configure --enable-shared=no
make (if command not found then - apt-get install make and repeat previous command)
make install

NOW WE DOWNLOAD OSCAM SOURCES AND COMPILE
cd /usr/src
svn co oscam - Revision 4971: /trunk oscam
cd oscam
mkdir buid
cd build
cmake .. (those two dots important, if WEBIF is wanted then - cmake -DWEBIF=1 ..)
(if command not found then - apt-get install cmake and repeat previous command)
make

NOW WE WILL COPY OSCAM TO /USR/LOCAL/BIN
cp oscam /usr/local/bin
cd /usr/local/bin
ls
(oscam should be listed here. Next: )
chmod 755 oscam

(Before you start the server make sure you got all 3 oscam config files in /usr/local/etc directory.)

(Don't delete compiling directories, so you can later easily update your oscam version)

TO COMPILE LATEST VERSION NEXT TIME
cd /usr/src
svn co oscam - Revision 4971: /trunk oscam
cd /usr/src/oscam/build
cmake ..
make

Hope it helps

As long as you are using one of the latest builds the following modules are automatic : -

Active modules:
Webif support: yes
OpenSSL support: no
Dvbapi support: no
Anticasc support: yes
ECM doublecheck: no
Irdeto guessing: yes
Debug: yes
LED support: no
Qboxhd-LED support: no
Log history: yes
Monitor: yes
Camd33: yes
Camd35 UDP: yes
Camd35 TCP: yes
Newcamd: yes
Cccam: yes
Gbox: yes
Radegast: yes
Serial: yes
ConstCW: yes
Cardreader: yes
Nagra: yes
Irdeto: yes
Conax: yes

The ecm doublecheck is an interesting feature if you have identical cards. The Dvbapi feature would not be apllicable on a linux build

Thanks for input oldfart. In the config.sh how do you effectively change the build options? Which parameter/context is edited ?

Here is the config file at build stage

#!/bin/bash

That is the standard config file but which parameters are amended.

thanks

i've never seen them screens before . Please share your knowledge. I compile over command line there is no gui involved . Would love to know this one as its something new.

i guess your running oscam in a receiver if you need the dvbapi function

thx again

my config file is in usr/src/oscam . Indeed the config files edits the make files . I tried running from root ./config.sh but debian told me to "please install a dialog package"

so i gave it a bit of apt-get install dialog ....... let it install

then from my build directory as root i did .... > ./config.sh

&

voila

got the same screens as you posted.

thanks for this as i could not work out for the life of me how to edit build options from the script context.

So , note to all . If you want to choose your compile options/addons make sure you have dialog installed on your linux system for a gui easy way .

Once in the gui you navigate with up,down,esc,enter and use the space bar to toggle options.

You 100% do not need the dvbapi for your card to read but if it works it works. If it ain't broke don't fix it !
