Rene and anyone else interested, I have recently been through the exercise of compiling with T2, to get binary packages that can be used for the next Puppy Linux derivative, that I have named Quirky.
I have created a page on T2 that explains how it is all done: http://bkhome.org/t2/ My Woof distro build system is able to import binary packages created by T2 and post-process them into cut-down packages, plus a package database file is created in the Puppy Standard Format. The Puppy Package Manager is also able to install T2 .tar.bz2 binary packages. Woof is introduced here: http://bkhome.org/woof/ I have released Quirky version 0.0.1. Release announcement: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/quirky-001/001-readme.htm Download ISO: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/quirky/quirky-001/ Home page: http://bkhome.org/quirky/ One thing to note. A problem that we have always had with T2 is that gcc is slightly broken when used outside the T2 environment. I have always had to recompile it, as I have documented on the T2 page. I don't know why... I thought it might have something to do with the configure options in T2 specifying all three '--build', '--host' and '--target', whereas I just specify '--build'. T2 configure: ../configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --infodir=/usr/info --mandir=/usr/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-debug --without-libpam --without-pam --disable-libpam --disable-pam --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --host=i486-t2-linux-gnu --target=i486-t2-linux-gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --disable-bootstrap --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads=posix --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran --enable-shared My configure, compiled in a running Quirky: ../configure --prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --libdir=/usr/lib --datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --infodir=/usr/info --mandir=/usr/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --disable-debug --without-libpam --without-pam --disable-libpam --disable-pam --build=i486-t2-linux-gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-checking --disable-bootstrap --disable-libstdcxx-pch --disable-multilib --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-threads=posix --disable-libgcj --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --enable-shared Regards, Barry Kauler ----------------------------------------------------------- If you wish to unsubscribe from this mailing, send mail to [email protected] with a subject of: unsubscribe t2
