Hi, I am using scratchbox to create dedicated linux "distribution" for small device with x86 architecture. The goal is to compile everything (mostly) using "only compile from sources" approach.
I installed SB from the following packages: scratchbox-core-1.0.10-i386.tar.gz scratchbox-libs-1.0.10-i386.tar.gz scratchbox-devkit-debian-1.0.10-i386.tar.gz scratchbox-toolchain-host-gcc-1.0.10-i386.tar.gz scratchbox-devkit-doctools-1.0.8-i386.tar.gz scratchbox-toolchain-i686-linux-ct4.1.0-2.3.6tls-1.0.4-i386.tar.gz My scratchbox target is information is as follows: Compiler: i686-linux-ct4.1.0-2.3.6tls Architecture: i686 Sub-architecture: i686 C-library: glibc Devkits: debian-etch doctools CPU-transparency: none I managed to compile kernel and packages needed for XWindows. I am stuck with X-windows' xcb proto. It needs Python 2.5 to build some python modules. README file shows what it is: "(...)Python libraries: xcb-proto also contains language-independent Python libraries that are used to parse an XML description and create objects used by Python code generators in individual language bindings. These libraries are installed into $(prefix)/lib/pythonX.X/site-packages. If this location is not on your system's Python path, scripts that import them will fail with import errors. In this case you must add the install location to your Python path by creating a file with a `.pth' extension in a directory that _is_ on the Python path, and put the path to the install location in that file. For example, on my system there is a file named 'local.pth' in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages, which contains '/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages'. Note that this is only necessary on machines where XCB is being built. " SB comes with Python version 2.3.4 so I compiled 2.5.2 from sources and installed it with standard prefix (/usr/local). As /usr/local/bin is redirected in SB I tried to export SBOX_REDIRECT_IGNORE=/usr/local/bin/python. However when I type 'python' I still get version 2.3.4 although /usr/local/bin/python is 2.5.2. Am I doing something wrong? The solution I found on this newsgroup is to use apt-get install python2.5-dev however I would like to have in my sandbox only packages compiled from scratch. Do you have solution for my problem? I am pretty much new to SB... Thank you in advance. Best regards, Mateusz
