Unattended, A Windows deployment system

Hi,
the best way is to get an "fresh and clean" i386 environment to build:

debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 intrepid /var/tmp/build-root/ \
 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/

After that chroot into this environment:
chroot /var/tmp/build-root/  su -
On 64bit systmes you should:
linux32 chroot /var/tmp/build-root/  su -

I have rebuild the makefile for the use with glibc2.9 and kernel 2.6.29.
But I also removed some stuff because perl is not needed for the
unattended-gui project. So take a look at our Makefile and try to use
the options for glibc-2.9:
http://unattended-gui.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/unattended-gui/bootcd/Makefile?view=markup

For example you have to use this C-flags for glibc:
GLIBCCFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=i686 -pipe -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -fno-stack-protector"

Please post the lines before "collect2: ld returned 1 exit status",
because the error is some where before this line....

Hi Mario,

I followed your instructions and got a error message again. Here a
little bit more text :-) Seems to be something wrong with limits.h:

I changed glibc to version 2.7 in Makefile and try again now.

Your kernel ua-0.8.8 detects this new network card but it tries to start
init.sh after boot and there's no perl installed too.

can you post your section of the Makefile which builds the glibc?

from:
## glibc
build-$(glibc)/libc.s....
to:
$(call copy_lib, build-$(glibc)/libc.so, stage1/lib/libc.so)

The limits.h should be taken from: linux-2.6.29/dest/include/linux/limits.h

This part:
		--includedir=$(cwd)/$(linux)/dest/include
		--with-headers=$(cwd)/$(linux)/dest/include
of ./configure will make use of it.

I have succsefuly build the glibc-2.9, so simple use this version.

Yes... maybe in the future there is a way to combine the Makefile from
booth projects. But at this time I only can try to share my knowledge
and experience with the unattended-project. Maybe the developer of
unattended have an idea how to combine this....
