Setup Development Tools
Setup Development Tools on MB Live
These instructions assume that you have firmware version 01.04.06 installed. If you have an older version, update first before proceeding. If your version is newer, be very careful while proceeding and please update these instructions in case they are outdated.
1. Install gcc and make from lenny
Update the package list and install package gcc-4.2 from lenny using apt-get or aptitude:
# aptitude update
# aptitude install gcc-4.2
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.2 42 --slave /usr/bin/cpp cpp /usr/bin/cpp-4.2
Next install package make:
# aptitude install make
2. Switch to squeeze
In oder to fulfill package dependencies without downgrading you need to install some utilities, header files and libraries from squeeze so that you first have to switch package sources before proceeding. Use nano to edit the file /etc/apt-/sources.list and comment out all the lines with lenny and enable the line which contains the word squeeze.
Misi:~# nano /etc/apt/sources.list
Afterwards the file should look like this:
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
#deb-src http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main
#deb http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ lenny main
#deb-src http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian/ lenny main
#deb http://security.debian.org lenny/updates main
#deb-src http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main
deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid main
#deb http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ experimental main
3. Install public keys and update package list
As the default firmware lacks the public keys for squeeze you will always get a warning that you are trying to install untrusted packages when you install packages from squeeze until you install the packages debian-keyring and debian-archive-keyring which contain the missing keys. Of course you will have to override the warning when you install them.
If you are lazy like me and don't want to install these packages, you can also ignore the warning and go on installing untrusted packages. As far as I know, it doesn't affected system stability, but it's ugly. So I recommend to install them.
Next update the package list ignoring the warning about public key errors:
Misi:~# aptitude update

You should look carefully for any lines staring with 'dpkg: error processing …deb'. If a deb package fails to install, it will cause subsequest packages to fail. You will need to forcibly install any debs that fail then re-run the previous aptitude command and repeat until all are installed cleanly. The command to focibly install a failed deb will look something like this:
dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/libc-bin_2.11.3-3_powerpc.deb
Congratulations! You have successfully set up a development environment on your MB Live and are now ready to compile software packages.
5. Switch back to lenny
After you have installed the development packages from squeeze, it is recommended to switch back to lenny. Revert the changes you made to the file /etc/apt-/sources.list in step 2.
