You must read the Cookbook first. Its a great collection of documents. This guides supplements the cookbook with some tips that you are likely to face while compiling a package for SliTaz
Tips
- Add “slitaz-dev-pkgs” package. Its a meta package to add some of the useful *-dev packages
- Compilation Errors like
- * checking for $PKG… configure: error: Couldn't find $PKG >= 1.0.0,
- * configure: error: Couldn't find $FILENAME
use
<code> tazpkg search-pkgname $FILENAME
</code>
Add the package with the particular file to BUILD_DEPENDS
* Read receipts of other packages. The problems you face may already have a solution in one of the receipts. Some examples receipts include:
** cups: to strip files other than .so in usr/lib, and to compress some driver files
** ndiswrapper-driver: to cook linux modules
