Installing my package manager.


Ok... Im just about to start chapter 6 of the build process and chroot into my new system, before I do however, I would like to install my own package manager.

The system I have built however requires Python and Sqlite. I tried to install sqlite but am recieving an error related to the absense of readline (I have not attrempted a Python install yet).

Readline was not installed as part of chapter 5, but I see it is installed further into chapter 6, Im wondering if its ok to install it into /tools? So that I can go ahead and install sqlite and Python.

Also... would anyone have any instructions related to doing a Python install at this stage? Is this a wsie idea or should I build the basesystem first without my package manager and install it later?

Any advice much appreciated.

I would suggest building your base system first and adding a package management program later. There is some information on package management Here.

Good Luck!
