4 - modify max_user_watches

echo fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288 | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf

sudo sysctl -n -w fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

---

5 - Add user openspabuilder

sudo adduser openspabuilder

---

6 - Switch to user openspabuilder

su openspabuilder

---

7 - Switch to home of openspabuilder

cd ~

---

8 - Create folder openspa8.x

mkdir -p ~/openspa8.x

---

9 - Switch to folder openspa8.x

cd openspa8.x

---

10 - Clone oe-alliance git

git clone git://github.com/oe-alliance/build-enviroment.git -b 5.3

---

11 - Switch to folder build-enviroment

cd build-enviroment

13 - Finally you can start building a image

• Build an image with feed (build time 5-12h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make image

• Build an image without feed (build time 1-2h)

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make enigma2-image

• Build the feeds

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make feeds

• Build specific packages

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openspa DISTRO_TYPE=release make init
