The goal of a cross-compatible build isn't necessarily to eliminate all dependencies but to eliminate dependencies that aren't forward ABI compatible with the platform on which you build or which might not be readily available. I would say that the goal should be to produce similar dependencies

Thanks for the willingness to incorporate it. Once we have the basics in place, I don't think there will be much work to keep it working. You will probably want to redo the script to pull the files directly from your build system instead of post processing the tarball like my script is doing tho

Yes, when I issued "replace" in an xterm I got the hint that replace was included in the mysql-server package. However, a mysql build dependency did not seem "right" to me.

The replace utility is part of the mysql server package. It is a handy string replacement tool. On Jun 20, 2013 5:22 AM, "D.L.C. Burggraaff" wrote: > I tried things on my Xubuntu 12.04.2 installation. > Alas pack_tiger.sh fails: > *../pack_tiger.sh: line 18: replace: command not found* > I have n

An additional note: dpkg-deb doesn't require a Debian-based machine in order to run, so it's pretty straightforward to generate DEBs on a Red Hat machine as part of an automated build procedure. I do this for VirtualGL and the other projects I maintain. On 6/17/13 1:37 PM, Robert Goley wrote
