To make my RPi a bit more useful with Slitaz, I want to convert a few more packages.
Initially I am considering lighttpd, sqlite and the whole perl-shebang.
For me this is a whole new area and I have some difficulties grasping the concepts behind the process. However, as there are very few others venturing into this I think I have to be able to do some things myself or probably wait until eternity before someone else does it.
Often it is good to read some docs before starting but I did that already and what I've read so far didn't make me any wiser when it comes to how-to-start. The next best thing is to simply start and see where you get stuck. That didn't take long!
When you want to build packages, you need to set up a cooking environment. (Right?)
In order to set up this cooking environment I followed the directions from: http://hg.slitaz.org/cookutils/file/3d20efa09240/doc/cross.txt because the Slitaz armhf toolchain http://arm.balinor.net/slitaz/armhf/slitaz-arm-toolchain-armhf-20120630.tar.bz2 is not available anymore unless you want to download an .exe file from some obscure hosting service. Don't do it unless you want to become part of a botnet! (as a zombie that is)
All went well until I arrived at line 39:
39 Setup the build environment, get source and compile a cross toolchain
40 ---------------------------------------------------------------------
41 # cook arm-setup
Here my system says: Unable to find package in the wok: arm-setup
The next command (cook setup) worked but after that everything fails.
It is probably a minor problem but I have no clue about where to start looking.
