Introduction

Libero GNU/Linux is designed to give users the freedom to create a tailored Linux distribution. Whether you want to build a minimal system, a desktop environment, or a server, Libero GNU/Linux provides the tools to do so with ease.

Features

• Modular Build System: Build only the components you need.
• Customizable: Tailor your Linux distribution to your specific needs.
• Lightweight: Focus on performance and efficiency.
• Open Source: Completely free and open-source.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

• A Linux-based operating system (Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora, etc.)
• Basic knowledge of shell scripting and Linux system administration
• Required packages: bash, coreutils, gcc, make, wget, curl, git

Run the following script "01Requirements" to know if your host system have all the packages required to build Libero GNU/Linux.

Getting Started

To get started with building LiberoLinux, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/liberolinux/Build.git
   cd Build

2. Install necessary dependencies:

   Depending on your base system, install the required packages. For example, on Debian/Ubuntu:

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install -y build-essential m4 bison yacc wget curl git

3. Configure your build:

   Edit the configuration files in this directory to set up your desired build environment. You can set CFLAGS and CXXFlags to your needs despite is not recommended because it can brake the system.

   Edit "DEVICE" variable before running scripts in order to install Libero GNU/Linux on the destination Hard-Drive on the following scripts:

   02Preparation and 10MakingLiberoBootable

4. Start the build process:

   Run the build script to start building Libero GNU/Linux:

   ./02Preparation

   The script will download, compile, and install the selected components based on your configuration. Then, after 02Preparation script, run the following scripts by numeric order, next one "03CrossCompiler" and so on.

Network Configuration

After Building and boot into Libero GNU/Linux and you need to configure Network, it is advisable to read Chapter 9.2 from Linux From Scratch Book. Here's a snippet:

The command below creates a basic configuration file for an IPv4 DHCP setup:

cat > /etc/systemd/network/10-eth-dhcp.network << "EOF"
[Match]
Name=<network-device-name>
[Network]
DHCP=ipv4
[DHCPv4]
UseDomains=true
EOF

For Static IP Address you can edit the following file:

cat > /etc/systemd/network/10-eth-static.network << "EOF"
[Match]
Name=<network-device-name>
[Network]
Address=192.168.0.2/24
Gateway=192.168.0.1
DNS=192.168.0.1
Domains=<Your Domain Name>
EOF

Usage

After building, you can:

• Install the system to a new partition or disk.
• Create a bootable ISO for distribution or personal use.
• Customize further by modifying the build scripts and configuration files.
