How to build the hboot image compiler on Ubuntu 18.04?

After cloning this repo to your local machine, update the git submodules.

cd org.muhkuh.tools-hboot_image_compiler
git submodule init
git submodule update

Next, build it with python2, this will take a while, so better get a cup of fresh hot coffee.

python2 mbs/mbs

N.B. the mbs will download some tgz, zip files etc in your home directory to the folder ".mbs" .

After a while the resulting zip file should be located in:

./targets/repository/org/muhkuh/tools/hboot_image_compiler/CURRENTVERSION/

Where the CURRENTVERSION is the something like 0.0.1.2

Run the tests!

To run the test, just execute:

python2 tests/tests.py

To start from scratch again you could clean with mbs

python2 mbs/mbs -c

or just remove the targets folder

rm -rf ./targets

or throw the ~/.mbs away with

rm -rf ~/.mbs
