Genuine DNA Devel Tools

Genuine GNU/Linux DNA Developer Tools are designed for bootstrap a Genuine GNU/Linux Developer System.

If you want to contribute to Genuine GNU/Linux, you should use another Linux system to build it.

INSTALL

Preparation

Obtain the toolkit:

git clone {GENUINE-DNA-REPO}
cd genuine-dna

Run next commands as "root" user!

Create the user account to be used. Configure it at file dna.conf. Default value for user name is dna. New user must be added as sudoer.

useradd dna -m -s /usr/bin/bash -U
vigr
# add user dna to wheel group.
vim dna.conf
# check $USER and $GROUP

Move the toolkit to dna user's home. Set owner permisions

mv genuine-dna /home/dna/
chown -R /home/dna/genuine-dna
cd /home/dna/genuine-dna

If system/ directory is missing, you must create it. i.e. mkdir system; chown dna:dna system.

Check your host system has needed dependencies:

./configure

Building

Bootstrap a Genuine system:

./dna build

Troubelshooting build failures

After build failures, there will be files to clean before attemping to build again:

# source code (if download was ok, you could mantain it)
rm gensrc/{FAILED-PKG}
# it's recommended to delete the source on failed downloads

rm -r tmp/{FAILED-PKG}-*

rm log/{FAILED-PKG}-*.log

General throubleshooting ideas:

• Double check file permission errors.
• Check the link created at /dnatoolbox point to system/

While building

You can check each package build progress via logs/, i.e. tail -f log/{PKG-NAME}-{STEP}.log.

Remember to monitor low-resource systems, build could exhaust resources. exhausted during compilation.

After succesful build

Once the first stage has finished, you will be prompted into a chrooted environment to finally bootstrap Genuine:

./0.chroot.sh
./1.mkdirs.sh
./2.mklinks.sh
./3.mkfiles.sh
./4.shell.sh
./5.env.sh
./6.bootstrap.sh
./8.users.sh

If you finished sucessfully latest bootstrap (step 6) you should have a bootable system.

If you need to chroot into your new system you can use the following script:

./7.chroot.sh
