Re: [gentoo-embedded] using gentoo-embedded on Fedora 8

[Phani Babu Giddi]

Hi Matthijs,

The document that you are referring to assumes that you have gentoo on the
system. For example... I cannot mount /usr/portage as my base system is
fedora.

If I have to go by this then I would have to make /opt/gentoo download one
of the starges for i686 and then make this as chroot and then again create
another directory /opt/gentoo and download i586-gentoo-uclibc-linux. Is that
what you are also doing ?

Phani


Mount needed directories.

Mount the proc and portage directories to your development_rootfs. Makes
your system_rootfs's proc and portage directory available from inside of
your development_rootfs (after chrooting).

Code listing 2.5: mount proc and portage

# mount --bind /proc /opt/i586-gentoo-uclibc-linux/proc/
# mount --bind /usr/portage /opt/i586-gentoo-uclibc-linux/usr/portage
