=Current state=
We just started porting Amahi to Ubuntu. The support is highly experimental. There are a few important things to be fixed before you can run it with minimal tweaking. Please don't try it on a production server yet. We are using Ubuntu 1012.04 LTS (LucidPrecise Pangolin) Desktop 32 bit for development. We strongly recommend you to use the same for experiments. You can download this version from [http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download here].
=Requirements=
You may want to have two different installations of Ubuntu.
* A development platform, running Ubuntu 1012.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit and/or 64 bit with the recommended development packages installed.* An Amahi sandbox, running Ubuntu 1012.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit '''preferably''' under [http://www.virtualbox.org/ VirtualBox].
Please don't install the Amahi packages on the development platform as this might break your networking.
=Setting up the development platform=
# Install Ubuntu 1012.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit.
# Install essential build toolchain.
## sudo apt-get update
## sudo apt-get install build-essential## sudo apt-get install devscripts## sudo apt-get install debhelper## sudo apt-get install fakeroot## sudo apt-get install lintian# Install git. # sudo aptitude install reprepro git-core
# Read [https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide/Complete Ubuntu packaging guide] to get an idea of other additional packages that you may want to install to create Ubuntu packages. I will list the packages to make your part easier at a later point.
=Setting up the Amahi sandbox=
# Install [http://www.virtualbox.org/ Sun VirtualBox]. # sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose
# Open VirtualBox and create a new guest platform for Ubuntu and install Ubuntu 1012.04 LTS Desktop 32 bit.
# Install VirtualBox guest additions in your Amahi sandbox. # sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose-guest-utils (do this inside your virtual machine!)
# Setup VirtualBox folder sharing between your development platform and Amahi sandbox.
Of course you can also download virtualbox from the virtualbox website and install the guest additions from the virtual CD with these additions (select install guest additions from the menu to mount the CD).
=Amahi source code=
On your development platform, download Amahi source code from our git repository. # git clone git://git.amahi.org/amahi.git*Follow these steps to build Ubuntu packages.
# After downloading the source, navigate to the platform directory (/trunk/platform).
# Navigate to the package you wish to build (hdactl or platform).
# (if appropriate) run "dch -i" to edit the changelog if you have made changes
# run "make deb" to compile the packages
# run "debuild" to create binary packages or "debuild -S" to create source packages.
