"mkisofs"


More Notes
==========

- For a complete list of packages (`dpkg-query -l`) of my personal build environment, look at 'Documentation/Build.env'.
It is certainly not necessary to duplicate my environment, but you might find it helpful if you're stuck.

- Root user note: Running with 'root' privileges needed when performing 'make' or 'make iso'.

- Proxy note: make sure your proxy is set correctly for wget commands (set variables http_proxy, ftp_proxy, etc.)

- If you are running a standalone test (see 'Documentation/HOWTO_RunStandalone.txt' for this), make sure you
can link with linuxfirmwarekit/libstandalone.so.  A quick and hackish way is to set $LD_LIBRARY_PATH like so:
(NOT RECOMMENDED, but works if you're stuck)
# export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/<your-path>/linuxfirmwarekit/libstandalone.so

- If you are running a standalone shelltest (.sh) (see 'Documentation/HOWTO_RunStandalone.txt' for this), 
make sure you have linuxfirmwarekit/shelltools in your your $PATH.  I do:
# export PATH=$PATH:/<your-path>/linuxfirmwarekit/shelltools
