Hi,
I've been playing around with the Bootstrap v1.1 and come across some
issues, some of which I have 'fixed' and some not.
I am initially trying to get it to do a native build just to get a feel
for it. I'll run through the issues as I remember them.
1) The cross-native.conf config file was missing from the svn Compile
version I am running. I found a copy of this file by taking pot shots at
older svn versions so that seems to be fixed (but may be wrong)
2) Next was the function Get_System_Paths function in
/Programs/Scripts/Functions/GoboLinux. BootStrap was error-ing on this
but continuing on. This was fixed by re-writing the function, as
suggested by detsch on irc, to :
Function Get_System_Paths () {
Parameters "$1" programpath
find "${programpath}" -mindepth 2 | while read path
do
Programs_To_System_Path "${path}"
done
I'm not sure if this has implications for other scripts?
3) Bootstrap throws out a bunch of signedness warnings while it is
compiling the menu but the menu works ok. It might be an idea to have
menuconfig respond to esc esc to go back similar to the kernel
menuconfig.
4) There were a couple of errors in the package config.in files (IIRC
the BC config.in and one other, I forget now) which was fixed by adding
the required first two lines deduced from looking at other packages
config.in's.
This got me to the point where there were no errors from bootstrap and
it was doing things consistently the same way on each invocation. I am
at the point where it now downloads the chroot environment (this was
failing I guess due to 2 above) and attempts to chrootcompile the first
package. It seems that this gets stuck somehow and then goes into an
endless loop of trying and re-trying the chrootcompile. There aren't any
useful error messages that I can see, in fact chrootcompile seems to
think it is doing ok and carries on.
Anyone have any suggestions on how can I proceed from here?
Thanks in advance
Rehan
