Hint? possibility to go into chroot and compile some applications

[Guest sandmen]

Igor,

to add some applications ( for example, https://github.com/Freescale/gstreamer-imx), it would be nice to have the possibility,

to enter at some point into the chroot, and compiling software, and installing it.

 

Or, add a "just mount exisiting image" function to your scripts.

For example, base image is finished, and then I can use a function, that unpack, mount, the existing image, and allow "the costumer" to enter into chroot.

 

What do you think?

It's already possible but maybe not solved the best way. First is simple:

AFTERINSTALL=""	         # last command before closing image, example: apt-get install joe

If you have your own script, copy it to /tmp because those directories are linked.

AFTERINSTALL="./tmp/yourextrascript.sh"

Other option is to add things here:

Currently I have done it in this way...

clear
echo "chroot "$DEST"/cache/sdcard /bin/bash"
read -p "Press any key..."
closing_image

in main.sh.

 

But, if I close the image. Are the changes stored for a "new" session.

I think, I will loose the changes, if I run the script again ?!

If you want to build into an image template, than you will need to alter a code here:

I haven't prepare for such scenario but it's possible, yes.
