[Devil-linux-develop] some problems with the build/install process

[Shing-Gene Y. <sh...@cz...>]

I'm just getting started in building 0.6beta from cvs (using
lfssystem-3.1). I encountered a few problems:

1. the new docs don't mention whether the build dir should be copied to 
the data subdir or otherwise? anyway putting it under the data subdir 
works.

2. make menuconfig. lxdialog fails to start due to glibc version errors. I 
removed the lxdialog binary and make menuconfig built it again, which 
works.

3. make build. it complains that /usr/include/asm exists and quits. 
removing that dir makes it work. is the asm dir needed?

4. during make build. bash complains of missing version.h file. putting a 
"make version.h" before the main make command in the bash build script 
fixes this.

5. make install. scripts/copy_base complains /bin/grep and 
/bin/egrep are not found. fixed by changing to /usr/bin/{grep,egrep} in 
scripts/config/copy_base.lst . What should be the proper locations?

6. running system. using jail to run named fails as it can't find the 
package? I thought everything is running off the CD now, so why is it 
looking for the package?

that's it so far :)
