Wrong - Only the packages on ftp.debian.org and mirrors require libc6 >= 2.1.95 which is pre 2.2 and kind of experimental ... > When trying to install 2.1.95 it fails because I lack libnss-db. dpkg --force-depends > So for now my only option is creating a total cross development environment > on another machine, which is rather strange because why are there then > that much debian packages available when I can't get them working ? Try ftp://ftp.rfc822.org/pub/local/debian-mips/packages These are all glibc 2.0.6 dependend. > Questions: > Does anybody knows a way to build a base.tar.gz from a couple of .deb > packages? > (couldn't find any documentation about that on the debian website). boot-floppies package > Does anybody knows a way to install the 2.1.95 and all those newer packages ? > Is there a problem with building libnss-db ? Yes - libnss-db needs db2 which doesnt build because of c++ problems ... However Guido Guenther managed to get it compiled. > I would like to have a build environment running on my indy, is the jump > bug with gas I heard about still an open issue ? ? > Does anyone has already X running with debian on an indy ? :) Not with debian packages ..
