I'm trying to build GNOME (to run a more recent version than 2.16.* on CentOS 5.1) and I keep running into a lot of rather strange problems.I'm wondering if this might have something to do with my hybrid 64 and 32 bit general environment, so I want to try a pure 64-bit chroot. I've never done this before, and I'm not entirely sure how to, and I didn't see anything particularly on point, either at centos.org or google. If I missed it, just say where and that should be enough. Guidelines? Suggestions (other than "go away" or other physically difficult crudities :-)?
Probably the best thing to do is to use mock to build in.You provide it with some repos and it automatically creates a chroot to build things.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Projects/Mock That has some instructions, though you should be able to yum install mock.
