The steps i use to bootstrap on interix is the following: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
1) check out a copy of prefix-launcher HEAD from sourceforge svn (using |
| 11 |
a windows svn client). |
| 12 |
(svn repo: |
| 13 |
http://prefix-launcher.svn.sf.net/svnroot/prefix-launcher/prefix-launche |
| 14 |
r/trunk) |
| 15 |
the checkout should be somewhere beneath the SFU/SUA directory tree |
| 16 |
(e.g. C:\SFU on XP/SFU 3.5, |
| 17 |
and %windir%\SUA on Server 2003 R2/SUA 5.2 and later). Simply create |
| 18 |
a tools dir there (so |
| 19 |
for example C:\SFU\tools and checkout prefix-launcher in a subdir of |
| 20 |
that tools dir). |
| 21 |
2) get GNU make sources (3.81) from some GNU mirror. (use the tar.gz, |
| 22 |
not bz2!) |
| 23 |
3) build GNU make in some temporary directory: |
| 24 |
(fire up a korn shell, the link is somewhere on the start menu). |
| 25 |
$ cd /tools (this is the one created earlier from windows for the |
| 26 |
prefix-launcher checkout) |
| 27 |
$ tar xfz /dev/fs/C/path/to/make-3.81.tar.gz |
| 28 |
$ cd make* |
| 29 |
$ ./configure --program-prefix=g |
| 30 |
$ make && make install |
| 31 |
4) build prefix-launcher: |
| 32 |
$ cd /tools/prefix-launcher-trunk (or wherever you checked it out). |
| 33 |
$ gmake install PREFIX=/tools DISTTYPE=SNAPSHOT |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
the PREFIX default is /usr/local. Under $PREFIX prefix-launcher |
| 36 |
creates a directory named |
| 37 |
prefix-launcher-1pre.<date> for example, so don't worry about |
| 38 |
colissions with installed |
| 39 |
software. |
| 40 |
5) create the directory where the gentoo prefix should be installed (i |
| 41 |
use /opt/gentoo): |
| 42 |
$ mkdir /opt/gentoo |
| 43 |
6) use the eprefix-bootstrap script from prefix-launcher to start |
| 44 |
bootstrapping: |
| 45 |
$ /tools/prefix-launcher.1pre.*/*/bin/eprefix-bootstrap |
| 46 |
--eprefix=/opt/gentoo |
| 47 |
7) the script stops after emerging an initial portage. Now is the time |
| 48 |
to add at least |
| 49 |
one mirror to /opt/gentoo/etc/make.conf, just as eprefix-bootstrap |
| 50 |
will tell you. |
| 51 |
8) before continuing, update the portage tree with the windows svn |
| 52 |
client. The portage |
| 53 |
tree can be found under C:\SFU\opt\gentoo\usr\portage on XP and |
| 54 |
under |
| 55 |
%windir%\SUA\opt\gentoo\usr\portage on Server 2003 R2 and later. |
| 56 |
9) simply repeat the bootstrap command: |
| 57 |
$ /tools/prefix-launcher.1pre.*/*/bin/eprefix-bootstrap |
| 58 |
--eprefix=/opt/gentoo |
| 59 |
10) the bootstrap script stops at stage useconfig again to allow |
| 60 |
configuration of the USE |
| 61 |
flags used for the emerge -e system. Is use "-fortran ncurses nls |
| 62 |
python readline ssl zlib" |
| 63 |
11) again repeat the bootstrap command: |
| 64 |
$ /tools/prefix-launcher.1pre.*/*/bin/eprefix-bootstrap |
| 65 |
--eprefix=/opt/gentoo |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
That should give a gentoo prefix just like any other :) |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Troubleshooting: |
| 70 |
1) If it complains, that portage failed to verify Manifest's, the do |
| 71 |
this (this is due to |
| 72 |
an old python in prefix-launcher, but i didn't manage to update |
| 73 |
it... Arg): |
| 74 |
$ find /opt/gentoo/usr/portage -name Manifest -exec rm -f {} ';' |
| 75 |
after that continue with the same command as before. |
| 76 |
|
| 77 |
If you have questions, just ask me. |
| 78 |
Another thing: you will need some good profiles, and i have some. If you |
| 79 |
are interested, just write me, and i'll send the along with some |
| 80 |
instructions. |
| 81 |

| 82 |
Cheers, Markus |
