Hello. I've been using ScratchBox to cross compile software for my ARM LPC3180 board. Its really quite a joy to use this environment, thanks for the great tool! I've now reached the stage where I'd like to create a root file system for my target device. I scoured through the ScratchBox documentation but could not find what I am looking for. Please let me know if I have overlooked something, and I'll RTFM ;)
I've decided to go the route of building individual packages rather than using a distro such as Debian, since the system will be a rather simple embedded network device without a lot of packages. What I'd like to do is: - Root NFS mount the file system from the target, during development - Make an ext2 RAM disk image or jffs2 image for the final product I have done these in the past with other build systems (with buildroot for example). I'm looking for information on how this is typically done with ScratchBox. Some questions: - Should I install applications (such as busybox) to my chrooted ScratchBox environment, or should I create a new directory to store my root file system to? - Any tips on creating an NFS mount for the Scratchbox built root file system? - Would fakeroot help me in this regard? - When building a file system image (such as ext2) how are the permissions fixed up? Is that what fakeroot is for? Thanks in advance for any tips or info.
