Hello, Amos Jeffries, le mar. 30 mai 2023 04:59:45 +1200, a ecrit: > I picked crosshurd to do the bootstrap process. > > crosshurd -t /src/hurd/deb-crosshurd/hurd64 -s gnu -c x86_64 -d unstable > > Initially it reveals that Debian ports has no packages yet (sad, but oh > well).
As mentioned on bug-hurd, since the ABI isn't really stable yet I prefer not to upload packages there yet. > After patching crosshurd/sources.list to allow it to use Simons' temporary > repo: > https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/tmp/hurd-amd64 > (along with the necessary key registration for apt) > > The output becomes: > > E: Package 'isc-dhcp-client' has no installation candidate > E: Package 'gettext-base' has no installation candidate > E: Package 'info' has no installation candidate > E: Unable to locate package cardmgr-gnumach > E: Unable to locate package wireless-tools-gnumach Yes, these are not available yet. Help is welcome on fixing the build of isc-dhcp and gettext in hurd-i386, and they'll probably just build on hurd-amd64 as well. Concerning texinfo, it seems that the packaging doesn't support cross-building yet since it generates documentation with its just-compiled (cross)-built makedoc, even with -B. Contribution will be welcome for general cross-buildability. Concerning cardmgr-gnumach and wireless-tools-gnumach, these are probably not worth spending time since they are mostly outdated. I have now removed them in the crosshurd repo. That said you can already just comment them by hand from your /etc/crosshurd/packages/ And also, you can as well just follow the wiki-documented debootstrap method https://darnassus.sceen.net/~hurd-web/open_issues/64-bit_port/ which does build fine since it uses a reduced set of packages (and cares much less about installability). ... or simply the prebuilt image from https://people.debian.org/~sthibault/hurd-i386/initrd-amd64.img.gz Samuel
