Do any of you know if there are any howto articles, or some kind of primer available that would give someone with no programming experience the knowledge they would need to create a few (hopefully simple) ports for CRUX? It may be that ports creation is totally out of the question for someone in this position, and if that's the case I do understand.
Note that I've looked at the various articles in the wiki, and have looked through the build files in quite a number of different CRUX ports created by others. I've also compared CRUX port files with build files from a few other distributions, but I'm still unable to figure it out. Oh, and I found a script that supposedly builds simple CRUX ports, but I fear that using it might produce packages that will mess up my system.
Any tips or pointers from those of you with experience building CRUX ports would certainly be most helpful and appreciated.
You haven't mentioned the handbook, did you read http://crux.nu/Main/Handbook2-8#ntoc21 ? If you're still having problems, I'd suggest you ask for a review of your Pkgfile so others can point you in the right direction; IRC could be a good place for that. -- Emmanuel
