In fact, I want it to work as a native debian system. This way, buildroot causes a lot of problems (I think that's the motivation behind SLIND). And they already have a binary base system which is a hell lot of work already done... Mixing this with dpkg-cross, well... it's perfect :) > > The challange is to compile the other packages that compose the > > build-essential package list.

It keeps dying with: I think it's possible to just use dpkg-buildpackage -auclibc-i386 and get a functional package (after some changes, probably)...

Sure... Actually, I think we should both join forces to emdebian, which is doing a great job... What I do think it would be really nice is to have a "contrib-builds" SLIND repository (like backports do). This would make things easier for sharing this effort. daniel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
