Hi all,
I am trying to bootstrap for powerpc-linux. I have generated the
tarballs and patched gnu/packages/bootstrap.scm to use them.
However, I get an error during when creating %bootstrap-coreutils&co
package. It specifies "fgrep" as program to test, but fgrep is a shell
script, and altought the shebang is correctly patched, it needs "grep"
binary in the path (which is not at this stage). fgrep does:
exec grep -F "$@"
so this can not work unless grep is available in PATH.
Options would be to patch those scripts to use `dirname $0`/grep, or
just test another program in package-from-tarball (the program testes
used to be "true"). I am doing the latter to go on bootstraping.
BR
Carlos
