[gentoo-alt] What's the status of gentoo-prefix on latest Ubuntu/Debian?

I just found that the bootstrap script refuses to run on Ubuntu >=11.04 and
Debian >=7.

http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/alt/browser/trunk/prefix-overlay/scripts/bootstrap-prefix.sh#L1289

So is it still impossible or any progress on this?

Thank you.

Maybe heroxbd's work to get glibc inside the prefix works for these
platforms.  I don't have time to delve into that, unfortunately.

Yes, that should work, but it's not tested. (redlizard is running a
Debian, but it is an old version without multiarch.)

Yegle, you are encouraged to test out the RAP. We'd be happy to help
supporting multiarch.

Hi Benda,

Glad to know there's a bootstrap script for creating prefix/libc.

I tried the bootstrap script on Ubuntu 12.04 64bit, and here's some extra steps I used:

1. Modify the bootstrap-rap.sh script, change the freens.org domain name to gentooexperiments.org
2. Modify the bootstrap-rap.sh script, bypass the check for Ubuntu version
3. Edit gcc-4.7.3.ebuild  and add "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$EPREFIX/usr/lib64" when bootstrapping gcc in stage3. If not, cc1 can't find libgmp.so.X
4. Edit make.conf and add "CFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/". If not, emerge perl in stage3 would fail in configuration (compiler complain that -ldb not found)
5. Edit "Lib/plat-linux2/regen" file when emerging python {2.7.5,3.3.2} in stage3 because "sys/types.h" header in Debian/Ubuntu multiarch locates in /usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/sys/types.h (I just ctrl+z'ed the emerge process and edit the corresponding file, then fg to resume emerging)
6. Edit portage-2.2.01.22124-r1.ebuild, change the code related to removing sed wrapper to look like this:

    if use userland_GNU; then
        rm "${ED}"${portage_base/lib64/lib}/bin/ebuild-helpers/bsd/sed || die "Failed to remove sed wrapper"                                          
    fi

After that, most thing works for me. Thank you Benda for the RAP project :-)

incredible!

I guess this is the first Prefix on multiarch ever! Guys, compete for this
if yours is earlier.

Thank you for sharing the tricks.

Enjoy your fresh Prefix. It's quite solid once bootstraped.
