Hello, 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 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

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:

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 [1] https://github.com/linuxmint/Muffin/tags [2] http://crux.nu/Main/Handbook3-0#ntoc21 [3] http://crux.nu/Main/Handbook3-0#ntoc23

pkgutils does not handle dependencies, you need prt-get for this task. handbook, prt-get and prt-get.conf man pages are a good place to start. good luck and welcome to CRUX.

good luck and welcome to CRUX. Thanks for the remarks.So if I understand you right, I have to install all the depencies manual so I can build the package. As far as I know prt-get is only for installing packages not for building packages. Roelof

prt-get is a frontend to pkgmk and pkgadd, it does both (and more). http://jw.tks6.net/files/crux/prt-get_quickstart.html
