Do you really mean ALL. You should start with build-essential packages if you mean to say all build-dep packages. But I do not know why you do this. You are doing cross compile. I do not see point of downloading source for all build-dep. I just to build the dpkg. So I think getting all source packages of build-dep is the first step. Then I'll build and install the build-dep and finally build dpkg. Is this the way to go? I guess this is best answered by reading CLFS itself. I am no expert.

Not really if you need dpkg as you say for your system. After all you asked to have Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch (a.k.a CLFS). Yeah, I just realize that. Thanks for your re-confirmation :-) If you are building installation image only, you may not need dpkg. Why not? I thought installation image should prepare all essential packages which definitely includes dpkg if it's a Debian image, right?

This is not Debian installer nor this is any Debian system. So dpkg is not required. Anyway, please google and ead things like: http://cross-lfs.org/view/clfs-embedded/x86/index.html Have you done this? As I found this now, it is a nice document. You should also read http://trac.cross-lfs.org/ and their book. You do not get single line answer if there is book for it. I think you also need to learn some basics of Debian system by reading Debian documentations. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

How to get all dependent source packages
Hi everyone, What I want to do is: If I want to build a package(for example dpkg) from source, how should I recursively get all the dependent *source* packages of it?
