Release Candidates :: DSL v3.2 RC1



Question on dsl-embedded and qemu: is linux qemu support going to be permanently dropped?

(from the default package that is)
Hi Robert!

I have a puzzling matter that I want to set before you. I have unzipped DSL v3.2 RC1 directly to a newly formatted usb pendrive and just added a mydsl directory with: gcc1-with-libs.unc and gnu-utils.unc to be able to compile some small programs (zlib and bcrypt). But it fails reporting an error involving Busybox 1.2.2 I think it was. Might it be so that gnu-utils needs an update as Busybox is of a newer date? It's just a speculation on my part but compiling these programs newer failed with DSL v3.1 under the same circumstanses. Well I don't know but perhaps you have the answer.

As always have fun with DSL,
meo

When I went to look at Qemu v0.8.2 for linux, it seemed to want to install off of / with multiple directores. No longer a single self-contained relocatable directory. Maybe, I am off with this assesment. Perhaps this would imply a Qemu extension for DSL may be needed? The windows version is still a no install relocatable self-contained directory. I am open if you find that a smiliar generic Linux setup supporing a nomadic pendrive with native access.

I think your issue may be related to a new gnu-utils that I am in the process of creating. I will post here when I am ready. RSN
Hi Meo - it would be nice to get hold of a copy of the gcc1-with-libs.unc you mention. The dsl2unc script does not seem to work on the copy of gcc1-with-libs.dsl posted in the repository.
