Unable to make demos encodedecode demo

From Ubuntu/VMware/WindowsXP(MachineA) I'm trying to simply remake the encodedecode demo.  I've tried three different angles and hit a roadblock at each.

  1. When I copied the encodedecode folder somewhere else and manually changed all occurrences of file name and file content from "encodedecode" to "myhf", I immediately get this error and can't figure out how to get past it:
    1. make: *** No rule to make target `myhf.cfg', needed by `myhf_config/compiler.opt'.  Stop.
  2. When I tried going directly to the encodedecode folder and doing "make" to use the local encodedecode makefile, as if it were a standalone makefile, I got past numerous errors then finally got to the point of getting the error
    1. making package.mak (because of package.bld) ...
      js: "./config.bld", line 3: Error: Can't find import file: '/packages/config.bld' (not found along '/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/dvsdk_demos_3_10_00_09/dm6467/encodedecode/encodedecode_config/;.;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27/packages;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/dvsdk_demos_3_10_00_09/packages;/packages;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27/packages;..;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27/etc;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27/include;/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/xdctools_3_16_01_27/packages')
  3. When I navigate upward to the same folder that contains Rules.make and try a "make demos", I get an error making the decode demo (before getting to the encodedecode demo):
    1. js: "/home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/codec_engine_2_25_01_06/packages/ti/sdo/ce/ipc/dsplink/package.xs", line 58: xdc.services.global.XDCException: XDCException: xdc.PACKAGE_NOT_FOUND: /home/helmutforren/dvsdk/dvsdk_3_10_00_11/dsplink_linux_1_64/dsplink/gpp/package.xdc found along the package path, but no schema file was found.  Ensure that the package 'dsplink.gpp' is completely built.
      gmake: *** [package/cfg/decode_xv5T.c] Error 1
Note that I suspect that if I get attempts 1 or 2 working further, they'll eventually get to the same point where attempt 3 failed.  Therefore, I think I should focus on attempt 3, which should have been the easiest.
The error with attempt 3 is similar to my errors over on CSSv4/WindowsXP(MachineB), which I eventually got past.  However, Iain has elsewhere suggested I don't need to build anything (paraphrasing) before my current point (extrapolating), which makes me think the Ubuntu install of the DVSDK 3.10 should have already had the gpp side of dsplink already built.
Is it mistaken above?  That is, do I indeed really need to build dsplink under Ubuntu as well?  Again, I finally succeeded under WindowsXP.  But when I tried to follow a similar informed path under Ubuntu this morning, I encountered yet other problems.
To summarize, is attempt 3 where I should focus right now, and do I really need to build dsplink myself?  If so, I'll try once again and then post the error on this thread.
Thanks very much,
Helmut
