I've been looking at setting up the
iPhone-Dev toolchain on my ubuntu box. Its only known to be compatible with feisty and gutsy. So I found
this guide about setting up a chrooted install. Since gutsy is no longer hosted on the regular mirrors I had to settle for an old cd image. I mounted the iso, copied the files over into a working directory and used 'ftp:///path/to/files' instead of 'http://mirror.url'
Not sure if using the cd files instead of an actual mirror might be part of my problem.
when I run
PHP Code:
sudo debootstrap --variant=buildd --arch i386 gutsy /var/chroot file:///home/me/ubuntu/
I get this:
PHP Code:
I: Retrieving Release
I: Validating Packages
I: Resolving dependencies of required packages...
I: Resolving dependencies of base packages...
I: Checking component main on file:///home/me/ubuntu...
I: Validating libatm1
I: Chosen extractor for .deb packages: dpkg-deb
W: Failure trying to run: chroot /var/chroot mount -t proc proc /proc
if I just run 'sudo chroot /var/chroot' i get
PHP Code:
chroot: failed to run command `/bin/bash': No such file or directory
SO the root of the problem is that bash (and maybe some other important files that I don't even know about) is not being placed in the chroot file structure before debootstrap tries to chroot in.
For compatibility (with the iPhone-dev toolchain) I am trying to install the i386 version so I can't just copy over the binaries from my current install which is x86-64. Is it possible to get a compatible i386 bash binary and copy it in or is there maybe another, more fundamental problem in the way I'm setting up the chroot environment?
EDIT:
Apparently using the extracted CD was my issue. I tried the same procedure with hardy from the Ubuntu mirrors and it worked like a charm.
