I asked how to make Trisquel/Hurd. This is the answer. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthias Lanzinger <[email protected]> Date: 2010/5/26 Subject: Re: installing Hurd To: Quiliro Ordóñez <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected]
Hi, I'm one of the guys working on ArchHurd. I'll try to summarize what we did to get started. I am not sure though how much of this can be applied to your case as you may be able to use the Debian/Hurd packages as a base for the Ubuntu based distro. (I don't really know a lot about Trisquel though so I maybe wrong on that) The steps we went through are pretty much the same as with creating/forking a linux distribution. We cross-compiled a system and got the toolchain working. Then we built all the dependencies needed for the package manager and creating packages and started building packages. You can take a look at our scripts for cross-compiling the system at [1] if you want but please keep in mind that they are very messy and some parts are pretty broken. We plan on cleaning/fixing them up and documenting the whole progress but we haven't had time to do so yet. For help on cross-compiling a whole system you may also want to check CLFS[2] which helps a lot to understand the process even though it's intended for linux. And last but not least, we ran into quite some trouble because we overlooked/ignored some patches that are needed. So be sure to thoroughly check the debian patchtracker :) Hope this helps, Matthias [1] http://files.archhurd.org/crosshurd/ [2] http://trac.cross-lfs.org/ On Wed, May 26, 2010 at 2:47 PM, Quiliro Ordóñez <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Samuel and Antrik for the information you provided.
