Got my ia64 compile account on sourceforge today.... managed to get some basic things setup so that i can build a deb. the first one i have is:
-rw-r--r-- 1 tausq users 495292 Jul 31 22:14 shellutils_2.0-7_ia64.deb whee! :) anyway, so as not to duplicate effort, here is what i have on tl2: under my home directory (/home/users/tausq) is a directory called "root" -- this is the base of a debian "chroot" without the permissions... under root i have the contents of the dpkg, debhelper, debmake and fakeroot packages. this is not a lot, but enough to build simple packages like shellutils that don't have a lot of builddeps one word about dependencies... because this is not a real debian install, the dependency info can't be gathered very well. what i've done is created a root/etc/dpkg/shlibs.override file that contain some entries from my potato ia32 system. some of that may be wrong, but it'll get things started at least so that dpkg-shlibdeps doesn't choke. i tried to get apt going, but the g++ compiler on ia64 is still quite buggy unfortunately. well, that's all for now. Hope some people find this useful. we should keep a tab of what packages people get going and what not.... randolph -- Debian Developer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.TauSq.org/
