Hello,
I want to setup a cross-compiler, following this tutorial...
http://wiki.debian.org/BuildingCrossCompilers
...but since I'm on a dial-up connection, I would be waiting until
Christmas for steps such as "sudo apt-get build-dep binutils gcc-4.1"
to finish. I usually mark changes with the Synaptic Package Manager,
generate a download script, and give it to my father to run at work (I
don't do this often). But I can't do that for... unorthodox
installations like what I'll need for setting up a cross-compiler.
How can I get a list of the the URLs for all the packages apt-get
needs to install (if I give arguments)?
Thanks,
Aidan
sudo apt-get install --print-uris <packages>
Or consider using apt-zip-* (the apt-zip package). I have not actually
used it, but apparently you run apt-zip-list on your offline machine to
generate a script that runs on the online machine. This script downloads
the necessary packages which you bring home on a USB stick (or a ZIP
disk, hence the name). You then run apt-zip-inst on the offline machine
to install the packages; it uses a script that was generated when you
first ran apt-zip-list.
