[Devil-Linux-discuss] Fwd: Some questions...

[warptrosse <war...@gm...>]

Hi, following the *Heiko´s* suggestion.... I´m trying to compile *
devil-linux* sources and then I will procede to add some new software which
I need for my project....

I follow http://www.devil-linux.org/documentation/1.2.x/ch03.html guide....
and some issues arose..... so, I will try to explain what I want to do and
what problems I found...

*ISSUE:*
I need to have *devil-linux* on a hard disk in order to install new software
and then test it "on fly". This hard disk will be in a virtual machine (*
VM-DL_ROUTER*), to perform tests which involves clients and servers (some
virtual machines)...

So... I have a virtual machine which works as a router... and some others
virtual machines which produce trafic between those... through *VM-DL_ROUTER
*.



*POSIBLE SOLUTION:*
As I saw bebore, I´m trying to compile *devil-linux* sources and add new
software in the way that is explained in ->
http://www.devil-linux.org/documentation/1.2.x/ch03s04.html#d0e1879.....
After the necessary software has been added, I will procede to compile
devil-linux.... then I will have a new devil-linux inside dist folder.....
and I will use it to test the new software...



*QUESTIONS:*
1) Can I put the content of dist folder in a hard-disk and after added grub,
boot devil-linux?
2) There is another way to do this?



*PROBLEMS:*
At compiling time I found the following problem:

=================================================================================================
root:/build# cat /build/tmp/LOGS/build/dev86
make[1]: Entering directory `/build'
You have to call make with one of the following options:

    menuconfig .. select which options should be added
    prepare ..... prepare system for compilation
    build ....... compile all sources
    install ..... install everything on the CD and
    iso ......... create an ISO image
    clean ....... cleans etc and ISO working folders :)
    mrproper .... cleans complete working folder :)
    unpack ...... unpack all available sources
    dist ........ creates files for distribution in ./dist

make[1]: Leaving directory `/build'
removing debug symbols from binaries
make[1]: Entering directory `/build'

executing prepare with option install

executing create_cd_dirs with option install

executing create_etc with option install

executing copy_base with option install

executing distcc with option install (in /build/tmp/distcc-2.17)

executing binutils with option install (in /build/tmp/binutils-2.16.1)

executing gcc with option install (in /build/tmp/gcc-3.3.2)

executing glibc with option install (in /build/tmp/glibc-2.3.2)
ERROR
/build/scripts/glibc install failed
check log file /build/tmp/LOGS/install/glibc for details
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/build'

=================================================================================================

=================================================================================================
root:/build# cat /build/tmp/LOGS/install/glibc
/build/scripts/glibc: cd: ../glibc-build: No such file or directory
=================================================================================================



*STEPS TO COMPILE:*
*
*
=================================================================================================
make unpack
make menuconfig (using default config)
make prepare build install iso dist
=================================================================================================


I will try to fix it when I leave work....

Best Regards....
