You configuration is invalid; you have supplied an invalid architecture: it should be either i686 or x86_64 for Arch.

EDIT: see the configuration here if you need an example.

EDIT 2: it seems mplayer2 is screwed up. Since it depends on Python 3, it cannot be built using Slackware's Python. Also, syslinux fails to build for some reason - I'm still investigating this.

Forgot to mention - make sure you work against the latest version (here).

Currently, there is a development branch called "raspberry-pi", which has many improvements. I'm going to merge it back to the master branch soon.

I progressed a lot further this time but encountered a lot of command not found errors.

Never got to build an image.

See attached output from Terminal window.

Regards

Well, that makes lots of sense - take a look at the package list you used - it's pretty much empty. You don't even have a C library or a kernel. Evil or Very Mad

But yes, you used roar-ng right - kudos for that. Now, get a real package list (as the one here) and run 1download, 2createpackages and 3builddistro again.

Yes, already doing that now.

It's not so clear to us old chaps.

Thanks

Great news! I got both Syslinux and mplayer2 to build.

The former had an issue with LDFLAGS - for some reason, it reads it from the environment but fails to build with my custom flags.

The latter required Python 3, so I got Python 3.1 from Debian to work (extremely hacky!).

I'm currently uploading all packages - you'll have to run 0setup, 1download and 2createpackages again. Make sure you clean processed-packages from remains of the previous .rxz packages.

EDIT: smokey01 - I improved the README and added details documentation of the configuration. Packages are still uploading, shouldn't take very long.

Yes, it's normal. That happens because you don't have AdvanceCOMP or OptiPNG installed.

The result is a larger, less optimized distro.

It's better with AdvanceCOMP and OptiPNG - they're used to shrink the ISO. Get them installed on your distro.

And no, you can't build "slackware", but you can build a distro which contains packages taken from Slackware. If you don't have any other AdvanceCOMP package, use the one in the example I gave you.

By the way - the manual was removed from recent versions of roar-ng. It's totally irrelevant - if you still have it, get a newer version.

I guess you need what is referred to as "git"

I know nothing about it but I failed to download
due to me have no "git"

Here is a link to the ReadMe of latest version 2013?
