This one is a bit esoteric. The plugin allows you to download and install a complete slack 13.1 build environment, and sets up a chroot for it. I have successfully used it to build a package for mp3fs, which is now installed on my unRAID box.

 

Download: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/3127998/unraid/buildenv-0.2-noarch-1maa.plg

 

Nothing gets downloaded upon install. To set up your build environment, type

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv enable <PATH_TO_USE_FOR_CHROOT>

as root.

 

The first time this command is run, (my idea of) a build environment is downloaded and installed to

<PATH_TO_USE_FOR_CHROOT>

. The default chroot location is

/usr/local/buildenv

, and the install is just shy of 1GB, so I strongly suggest specifying something like

/mnt/cache/.buildenv

 

To enter the build environment:

tower:/# chroot <PATH_TO_USE_FOR_CHROOT> /bin/bash
tower:/# ldconfig

 

I've tried to err on the side of caution in getting a base build environment set up. Specific dependencies will need to be installed to the chroot dir manually. E.g. flac, ogg and libid3tag for mp3fs.

 

The plugin does not have a web GUI interface at the moment. to unmount system directories

(/dev/, /dev/pts, /proc/, /sys/

) from the chroot dir use  

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv stop

.

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv start

remounts.

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv disable

disallows

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv start

.

/etc/rc.d/rc.buildenv start|stop

are registered to

disks_mounted

and

unmounting_disks

respectively.

 

2011-11-07 0.2 - second release

* add "which" package (required for makepkg)

* add go_build.sh:

* mounts system directories to $INSTALLDIR

* chroots into $INSTALLDIR, running setup_chroot.sh

* setup_chroot.sh:

* runs ldconfig

* sets $PS1 to indicate we are chrooted

* upon exit from chroot, system directories are unmounted

 

Hope this is useful to other people than myself

 

Looks interesting, going to try this, and see if I can use it to update the bzroot/bzimage ( own compiled )

Cool this is very much released on a works-for-me basis, however. Expect bugs (and don't hesitate to report them )
