You can use the 8.0 tree of install (DrakX), look at <top_dir>/Mandrake/mdkinst,
if you have that you can look directly at
<top_dir>/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/perl-install/live_install*
where you will find how to launch a perl script (install2) using the 8.0 binary
tree. You will have to use PERL5LIB, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LD_LOADER, since
gendistrib does not use a lot of things, you can set them as follow, assuming
$dir point to <top_dir>/Mandrake/mdkinst (in a separate shell environment, new
xterm for example) :
export LD_LOADER=$dir/lib/ld-linux.so.2
export PERL5LIB=`$LD_LOADER $dir/usr/bin/perl -e 'print join ":", @INC'
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$dir/lib:$dir/bin:$dir/usr/bin
and then you should be available to do
$LD_LOADER $dir/usr/bin/perl $dir/../../misc/gendistrib <options>
I do it on the fly, inform me if there are problems, but you should have what is
necessary.
