In Ubuntu, do: sudo apt-get install git build-essential cmake liblzo2-dev libssl-dev libc6-dev
In Mandriva or Mageia, do: urpmi git task-c++-devel cmake liblzo-devel libopenssl-devel glibc-devel --auto

git clone https://github.com/lprot/epk2extract

cd epk2extract ; ./build.sh

After building epk2extract can be found in ./build_linux/

Devel-> gcc-g++, git, cmake, make
Libs-> liblzo2-devel, zlib-devel
Net-> openssl-devel
Utils-> ncurses

git clone https://github.com/lprot/epk2extract

cd epk2extract ; ./build.sh

After compilation epk2extract and Cygwin *.dll libs can be found in ./build_cygwin/ The build script automatically copies Cygwin shared libraries to the ./build_cygwin/ folder, so you can use epk2extract without having to install Cygwin

To change default editor for commits to nano:

git config --global core.editor "nano"

Put *.pem and AES.key files beside epk2extract binary.

Run it via sudo or su because rootfs extraction requires root-access:

In Ubuntu, Debian or Linux Mint, run: sudo ./epk2extract file

Alternatively you can use fakeroot to avoid rootfs extraction warnings

fakeroot ./epk2extract file

In Mandriva or Mageia, run: su ./epk2extract file

./epk2extract xxxxxxxx.sym

./epk2extract part.pak

Or use partinfo.py

python partinfo.py part.pak

Sometimes Uncramfs segfaults or Unsquashfs does "Read on filesystem failed because Bad file descriptor". In that case just run epk2extract again and it will do the job right.

epk2extract might use a large amount of RAM while running and thus slow down your computer. If the program or your computer seem frozen or not responding please be patient and give it some time to finish.
