You should also read http://trac.cross-lfs.org/ and their book. You do not get single line answer if there is book for it. I think you also need to learn some basics of Debian system by reading Debian documentations. Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Do you really mean "ALL". You should start with build-essential packages if you mean to say all build-dep packages. But I do not know why you do this. You are doing cross compile. I do not see point of downloading source for all build-dep. I guess this is best answered by reading CLFS itself.

Not really if you need dpkg as you say for your system. After all you asked to have "Cross-Compiled Linux From Scratch" (a.k.a CLFS). If you are building installation image only, you may not need dpkg.

How to get all dependent source packages
Hi everyone, What I want to do is: If I want to build a package(for example dpkg) from source, how should I recursively get all the dependent *source* packages of it? This means not only the direct dependency of the package but also the dependent of the dependent...I know "apt-get build-dep" will only *install* the dependent *binary* packages. I want to do this because I need to build dpkg on a CLFS system (think it as a minimal linux system without debianization), and it's crazy to download all dependent source packages of dpkg, right? -- Best, Sha Liu
