Re: Resurrecting Debian on SPARC
Good afternoon,
I seem to have gotten the chroot to function. Not know much about them
and searching for answers I still have the following questions (and if
you point me in the right direction I'll read, search, try, and then ask
more questions):
1) the installation we've done sets up a minimun "system" and things
like network config, wget, and other programs need to be copied into the
system to make them work?
2) I downloaded the source for mozjs and attempted to build starting
with a ./configure and found python was missing. Is it better to install
the networking and such to do an apt-get install or should I manually
install python?
3) The version of mozjs I downloaded was 31.2.0-rc0. Should I start
with the this one or should I try 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-4.3?
I appreciate the help in understanding how this should be done. Please
let me know if I'm going about it wrong? I hope my questions don't
bother the guru's.
Reading and following maintainers guide as well.
