  • HOWTO: Compile OSCAM on Raspberry Pi, Dockstar or similar NAS running Debian

    found this guide by nsane off another forum, i used it to compile/install oscam on my raspberry pi running debian.


    1. Preparations:


    Update apt-list and install required packes:



    Code
    apt-get update 
apt-get -y install apt-utils dialog usbutils
apt-get -y install gcc g++ wget
apt-get -y install build-essential subversion libpcsclite1 libpcsclite-dev
apt-get -y install libssl-dev cmake make 
apt-get -y install libusb-1.0-0-dev nano



    If you need PCSC support:

    Code
    apt-get install pcscd pcsc-tools




    2. Get OSCAM source
    Now switch to /usr/src, create a directory for oscam and download sources:


    Code
    cd /usr/src
svn co http://www.oscam.to/svn/oscam/trunk oscam-svn



    3. Compile OSCAM
    Now compile oscam for your machine:

    Code
    cd oscam-svn
mkdir build
chmod 755 build
cd build
cmake -DWEBIF=1 .. (those 2 dots are required. THIS IS IMPORTANT)
make



    NOTE: If you get Errors while compiling e.g.

    Code
    --   no libusb 1.0 found. No smartreader support


    See the hint at the bottom before proceeding


    Now we got our oscam binary
    We're gonna move it to /var/local

    Code
    cd /usr/src/oscam-svn/build
ls


    there should be a file called "oscam"
    So lets copy it:

    Code
    cp oscam /var/local/
cd /var/local
chmod 755 oscam



    4. Make OSCAM start at system startup:
    We're adding oscam to rc.local to make it start at system boot.


    Code
    nano /etc/rc.local


    Now add

    Code
    /var/local/oscam &


    right above line

    Code
    exit 0


    Oscam will start everytime the system boots up from now on


    5. configs and logfiles
    We still need to get some config files.
    By default oscam looks in /usr/local/etc for these file

    Code
    cd /usr/local/etc
ls


    There should be at least 3 files: oscam.user, oscam.server, oscam.conf
    If not, copy your configs here


    Now we need to create some logfiles and make them writable:


    Code
    cd /var/local
mkdir oscam
chmod 755 oscam
cd oscam
mkdir cw
chmod 755 cw
nano oscamuser.log (enter a space and save file)
nano oscam.log (enter a space and save file)
chmod 755 oscamuser.log
chmod755 oscam.log


    Thats it


    6. Start oscam
    You can now run oscam to check if it works

    Code
    cd /var/local
./oscam




    HINT: Oscam compile error: No smartreader support:
    If you get Errors while compiling e.g.

    Code
    --   no libusb 1.0 found. No smartreader support


    go to /usr/src, get libusb 1.0.6 from sourceforge and compile for your system:

    Code
    cd /usr/src/
mkdir libusb
chmod 755 libusb
cd libusb
wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/libusb/libusb-1.0/libusb-1.0.6/libusb-1.0.6.tar.bz2
tar xjf libusb-1.0.6.tar.bz2
make
install


    After make install of libusb, start over with compiling oscam
