Description Kristoffer Grundström 2012-02-15 09:10:48 CET

Description of problem: As I'm about to compile Cyanogenmod for my Tab to create a customized Recovery I'm guided from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1385153 to http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

The only problem I have is that I have to download every renamed (for other distros) packages & read each spec-file to see if Mageia has the dep I need in order to install everything needed from any guide NOT written for an RPM-based distro.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.68

How reproducible: Everytime I use urpmi to let it install renamed (for other distros) packages.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open desired webbrowser.
2. Go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20162933&postcount=2
3. Read the DEV AREA NOW-part.
4. As the Sources-part in that post says, (open a new tab) & go to https://github.com/sgt7
5. The guide also tells you how to get the sources so open a new tab & go to http://sources.android.com/sources/initializing.html.
6. Install theese packages using urpmi as root:

For 64-bit:
dpkg (is this really needed?)
git
gnupg
flex
bison
gperf
zip
curl
glibc-devel
ia32-libs package contain so-files that needs theese deps:

Extra-note: tofrodos is also one of the deps, but I forgot to include it in the list.

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Comment 5 Samuel Verschelde 2016-10-11 22:14:17 CEST

Seeing that no packager had interest in this request, and no other user either, I'm closing as wontfix.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
