I think probably that my way is suboptimal. I think Bertrands recent |
| 9 |
post using crossdev is probably much neater. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
However, what I do is simply grab a uclibc build environment. Chroot |
| 12 |
into it (I have a script which sets up portage by symlinking and |
| 13 |
mounting various dirs here and there). What you end up with is |
| 14 |
effectively a running environment in the processor build and libc of |
| 15 |
your choice. Clearly this doesn't work for archs that can't be run on |
| 16 |
your CPU... |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- Anyway, so chroot into build environment |
| 19 |
- ROOT=/somedir emerge somestuff |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
If you scan back in the archives for posts from me with "ROOT=..." in |
| 22 |
the body then you can see my basic skeleton. Happy to dig them out, if |
| 23 |
they can't be found. It takes surprisingly few packages to build a |
| 24 |
basic runnable system. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
However, probably that's not what you want - not sure? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It is quite easy to do, but not a 2 min job if you haven't done it |
| 29 |
before. Someone else documented the basic technique much better here: |
| 30 |
http://www.anticore.org/ratgentoo/index.php?page=001 or google for |
| 31 |
"tiny gentoo"... |

I suspect this is a better process from what you describe as your |
| 40 |
experience. Just note the iconv pieces that I mentioned - they aren't |
| 41 |
integrated into the ebuild at the moment and are really up for |
| 42 |
discussion. As you yourself noted, adjust the futzing around with |
| 43 |
db.txt to be something like |
| 44 |
cat $FILEDIR/db.txt /etc/locale.gen > db.txt |
| 45 |
This should merge locale.gen and generate the character conversions you |
| 46 |
choose |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
If in doubt just comment out all that extra stuff I added - it's new and |
| 49 |
not relevant to the main ebuild |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
Blah I'm rambling now... |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Good luck |
