Custompup or DotPup?

#1 Post by nibl »

I'd like to make a software package I've written usable with Puppy. The app has quite a lot of dependencies (perl 5.8.x and modules, wxPerl libs). I'm guessing a DotPup would not be easy to do?

I couldn't find any DotPup tutorials other than hello world, so I've no idea how to add so much stuff to Puppy.

Would a custom ISO be easier?

In either case, where should I place the files?
Libs usually need to go into /usr/lib/..

Thanks, nibl.

Thanks, Dotpup created :-)

Now, what about the dependencies?
I compiled wxWidgets and wxPerl from source, so I have them installed. Now they need packaging too.

How do I found out which files were installed so I can create seperate Dotpups for them?

ldd doesn't tell me all the dependencies.

Thanks, nibl.
