Berrymuch OS

Berrymuch is a user friendly Unix software distribution and a compilation toolchain for the BlackBerry 10 devices.

If you are into vim, git, taskwarrior or sc and wish you could run them on BB10 you've come to the right place.

The project is standing on the shoulders of giants including playbook-dev-tools and the effort of multiple awesome CrackBerry forum members.

Goals

• To provide an easy way to install a variety of useful Unix command line apps and tools
• To simplify porting and compilation (cross- or native-) of POSIX software to BlackBerry 10 QNX
• To engage more Unix and BB10 lovers and tinkerers and have fun

Current status

• GCC 4.6.3 and a variety of libraries are available
• Some useful everyday apps (see ports) have been cross-compiled and packaged

Roadmap

• Package management with dependencies
• More exciting ports (see the current Wishlist)

Installation

User

• Go to Releases and grab the latest clitools.zip and install.sh

• Put both into the documents/ directory on your device

• Install a terminal app (we recommend term48) and run:

  cd /accounts/1000/shared/misc/clitools
  sh install.sh
  

• Restart your terminal app and enjoy Berrymuch!

Developer

We use Docker container to build the project. You can build the project by make build Or start the container and connect to it with make shell, then you will have everything configured for you inside the conatiner.

Alternativelly, you may also use make build.coreutils to build only the coreutils package available below ports/ , and make build-wip.ncurses to build the ncurses package below ports-wip/ .

For details you can check Makefile

You may need to patch an existing port
