3. Set your shell to /bin/bash

   sudo ln -sf /bin/bash /bin/sh
   

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. Remove AppArmor to accelerate the build process.

   sudo apparmor_status
   
   sudo systemctl stop apparmor
   
   sudo systemctl disable apparmor
   
   sudo apt purge apparmor

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

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

• Build the feeds

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openatv DISTRO_TYPE=release make feeds

• Build specific packages

  MACHINE=zgemmah9combo DISTRO=openatv DISTRO_TYPE=release make init
  
  cd builds/openatv/release/zgemmah9combo/
  
  source env.source
  
  bitbake nfs-utils rpcbind ...
