Hello,

A couple of years ago, at the beginnings of woof, and still working with unleashed, I tried to build Archpup.. I made it to a desktop, but with massive glibc problems I at the time could not fix..
Trying again with woof2..
After fixing the distrospecs and repospecs for Arch to point to the 0.7 repos, and updating everything, I was able to download packages for Archpup..
2createpackages ran fine, with a few tweaks..
3builddistro...
First attempt failed early.. OK.. D/L some stuff and try again..
Second attempt again failed with:
"cannot chroot to rootfs-complete"
Could not figure out how to fix it thru woof, so went into rootfs-complete and fixed a bunch of busybox links. Repacked the sfs. booted to it.. Some joy.. Got an Archpup. Barely.. LOL.
Xorg is broken. I will fix that..
But the console wants "xdg_pixbuf-so.2.x.x" libs to go into FB mode..
Having framebuffer working would help..
Anyone have/know where to find this lib???
Arch repos dont have it, and so far cant find it in puppy`s either..
Anyone build an Archpup, or wanna help me too???
LOL..
