Having followed the other link to |
2 |
http://www.bulah.com/embedded-guide.html, which seems to be more up to |
3 |
date, am still having problems. At step 3 I get the following response. |

|

clwsapp07 root # ROOT=/embedded_rootfs emerge -K uclibc |

Calculating dependencies |
7 |
!!! There are no packages available to satisfy: "uclibc" |
8 |
!!! Either add a suitable binary package or compile from an ebuild. |
9 |
|
10 |
I thought all the previous steps went OK. Even some of the workarounds |
11 |
seem to no longer be needed. Any ideas? |

My installation is 6 mb, since I'm installing into 32 mb, I haven't |
28 |
tried too hard to pair it down. I'm installing on Soekris net4526 |
29 |
boards. Keep in mind there are somethings you can do after you build you |
30 |
filesystem with Gentoo to make the install even smaller: |
31 |
|
32 |
Remove /usr/include |
33 |
Remove all .keep files |
34 |
Audit the rest of the file system for unnecessary files, expecially /etc |
35 |
and /var |
36 |
|
37 |
I have a series of scripts I've written to automate the process |
38 |
described in the above howto, and I would like to publish them shortly, |
39 |
but please don't hold your breath. :) |

I have tried various ways of building a root fs with uClibc, but |
47 |
to no avail. I have monitored this list long enough to know that |
48 |
someone out there has done it. I need to do it for and X86 target that |
49 |
must fit in about 1.5 MB of flash that gets copied to RAM and started. |

The "out of the box" configuration I linked to from the uClibc |
53 |
site fails in various ways. I like the Gentoo way of doing things, but |
54 |
the HOWTO link I saved a while back does not work. |
55 |
|
56 |
Any pointers to documents that would help me succeed would be |
57 |
greatly appreciated. |
