Oscam auto update script for ubuntu

Hi master G

I assumed that you and the rest of the team where very busy and well done for all your hard work getting this great forum back up and running. I will explain now how I got it working in the end. I formatted with a fresh install of ubuntu 10.10 and I did use the CCcam/Oscam auto install file. It installed with no problems whatsoever and ran very well. I decided I wanted to install the Oscam Auto Update script as I wanted to use the latest build and after following the instructions I could not get it to run as it should. However I searched high and low for reasons why it wouldn't run properly and I came up with this bit of info. When you install a fresh Ubuntu op system it doesn't for whatever reason even after updating it fully install all the applications you need to build the files, directory's etc u need to run the script. You have to install them yourself. Here is the list I had to install before it would run. (These words are not mine I found them elsewhere but they worked for me)

This is a little howto for compiling oscam on some linux computers (debian, ubuntu, ...)

you need these prerequisites before starting (they can be installed with this command sudo apt-get install <package_name> or with synaptic) :

build-essential
g++
libssl-dev
libusb-1.0-0-dev
libpcsclite-dev
cmake

sample : sudo apt-get install libssl-dev

After I had installed these I followed the instructions at the start of this thread.

sudo mkdir /var/local/bin/

I then did

sudo nano /var/local/bin/oscam_update.sh

I then went to the above file and inserted the following content bellow. (The only thing I changed was the http address it go's to for the latest oscam version)

I then went to /usr/local/bin and created a folder called oscam_backups

I then used the command

sudo chmod 755 /var/local/bin/oscam_update.sh

Then I ran it using the command

sudo /var/local/bin/oscam_update.sh

It ran removed the old oscam, placed it in the oscam_backups folder and then placed the latest version of oscam with Smartreader support in it's place and restarted everything.

Hope this helps someone out

Theres a section on how to add Omnikey suppprt m8. Do a search.

How to install Omnikey readers on Linux PC

I tryed to do this thinking it might fix my wee problem with connecting and I've now lost all oscam . Scrips config are still there in server and cccam can still be got at but can log into oscam. I'm so frustrated .

If you read through this thread you would have seen that this update script was for oscam that was compiled locally, not oscam that came in auto-install script. To update "anto-install script" version of oscam, follow post 3 in this thread:

I didnt for one minute think it would be anything other than me not knowing what im doing again lol.
Just though you might know whats wrong,all the configs are still there i can still get onto cccam server in webif but no ocam in webif and all boxes are not recieving.
I tryed that 755 command and it said no directory so i think ive done something when i was sending commands.

im running oscam 1.00 , just wondering can or how do i update to latest version, im running oscam/cccam on debian

please edit first post link to
http://www.streamboard.tv/svn/oscam/trunk/
else the update wouldn't works!

Hello all
