The Testing Area :: February Extensions

Re: DSL devel chroot
Hi all!
First finished 'prototype' is ready!

Size of finished 'prototype':
test_chroot.tar: 118M
test_chroot.tar.gz: 37M
test_chroot.tar.bz2: 32M
test_chroot.tar.lzma: 23M

(Including perl 5.8.0, python 2.5.1, tcltk 8.4.17, and X.org 7.3 libs/headers.)

Will post detailed information in a separate thread in the 'System' section, soon.
Right now, I am going to rebuild it again from scratch to check whether I missed anything. This will take at least a few days, I think.

Regarding the name, I have settled on 'dev_chroot.tar.*', but any suggestions are very welcome!!

IMHO, a .unc is possible, but I think a dedicated hard disk partition, or similar, would be ideal.

Roberts:
Would it be alright for you to host this in the main FTP rather than as a MyDSL extension?
(Reason being: This seems to be more like a plain archive rather than a normal extension.)
Thank you very much.

Xorg 7.3 for compiling for DSL: not good. Many libraries have changed, and if anything X-related is compiled with Xorg 7.3 headers, they will be looking for, say libXxxx.so.3 when DSL has .2 or even .1. Thus X apps compiled with it would need to have those libs packed with them, increasing size unnecessarily..

Maybe replace with Xfree 4.3.0 for the next release?

Curaga:
Oh yes, I never thought of that!
Thanks alot.

Summary:
(1) libXau.so.6 in LFS does not match libXau.so.0 in DSL.
(2) libXfont.so.1 in LFS does not match libXfont.so.0 in DSL.
(3) libXft.so.1 in DSL is missing in LFS.

Possible solutions:
(1) Look for older version of libXau in X.org FTP??
(2) Look for older version of libXfont in X.org FTP??
(3) Look for older version of libXft in X.org FTP?? / Use libXft1 and libXft-dev DEBs from Woody??

(Seems like a recompile of X11 is necessary since libX11 etc will have to be re-linked.
Not a problem, since I am rebuilding the LFS system.)

Update:
Will look at all options, e.g. older versions of X.org (6.x??), or perhaps using XFree86 4.3.x.
Very much appreciate all the help so far.
Many thanks!

I had a look at this while building compile-3.3.5 - I couldn't really figure out where all of the dsl base x libs come from. After compiling xfree-4.2.1, there were still some libs that were missing. The missing libs might have come from xfree-4.3.0, but I wasn't sure.

Only 3-4 libs were changed? I expected something more, but those are still dependencies of libX11 and so, as you said..
