Hello,
Hi Roelof,
I want to try to port Cinnamon to Crux 3.0I have found that this are the steps to do : cd muffin git checkout -b stable origin/stable dpkg-buildpackage
I'd recommend the source packages instead of getting the source directly from their repository. Take a look at [1]. Just pick the version you want and use the .tar.gz file. Then have a look at the Handbook and create a Pkgfile [2] to do what you want.
Basically it should be something like this: - ./configure (with the needed options to comply to packaging guidelines [3]) - make - make DESTDIR=$PKG install
./configure will probably fail because of missing libraries. However, the error messages thrown should be self-explanatory. You'll have to find ports for each missing dependency or create them yourself.
And for cinnamon:
cd Cinnamon git checkout -b stable origin/stable ./autogen.sh dpkg-buildpackage Can anyone give me some pointers how I can begin with the build script for Crux.I have read the page about porting but there are nothing about git builds. I think I have to replace dpkg-buildpackage to ./configure , make, make install. Roelof Roelof
Again, I'd go with the released sources instead of a git build. Then it should be about the same as with muffin (and every other port for that matter :)).
Hope this helps Lennart

How to solve this one. Roelof
