1 I've finished a basic uclibc-ng install as a 32-bit QEMU VM using
2 http://distfiles.gentoo.org/experimental/x86/uclibc-ng/stage3-i686-uclibc-vanilla-20160712.tar.bz2
3 There are a few departures from the standard x86 install. Are they
4 cosmetic, or are they problematic?
5
6 1) Timezone
7
8 no /usr/share/zoneinfo/ directory
9
10 I still did...
11
12 echo "Canada/Eastern" > /etc/timezone
13
14 ==========================================================
15 (chroot) livecd ~ # emerge --config sys-libs/timezone-data
16
17 No packages found.
18 ==========================================================
19
20
21 2) Locale stuff
22
23 nano -w /etc/locale.gen
24
25 No file... created one, and then ran...
26
27 ==========================================================
28 (chroot) livecd ~ # locale-gen
29 bash: locale-gen: command not found
30
31 (chroot) livecd ~ # eselect locale list
32 /usr/share/eselect/modules/locale.eselect: line 14: /usr/bin/locale: No such file or directory
33 Available targets for the LANG variable:
34 (none found)
35 ==========================================================
36
37 manually created /etc/env.d/02locale as follows
38
39 LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
40 LC_COLLATE="C"
41
42
43 3) Emerges are followed by the message...
44 /sbin/ldconfig: You should remove `/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'
45 /sbin/ldconfig: You should remove `/usr/lib' from `/etc/ld.so.conf'
46
47 4) /etc/portage/ directories? files?
48 The following entries in /etc/portage are files, rather than directories
49 like in current Gentoo
50
51 package.accept_keywords
52 package.mask
53 package.unmask
54
55
56 I still have to install X and a bunch of apps. The reason I'm doing
57 this is to see if I can eventually build Pale Moon web browser under
58 uclibc-ng.
