Overview

With the launch activity complete, we now can fchroot into our cross environment. The next step is to document on one wiki page how to build up a Funtoo-like environment from within this initial fchroot, without using Portage. But the final thing installed should be Portage.

The first step in moving ahead with Phase 2 is to get the temporary cross-build environment suitable for compiling and installing things within the fchroot filesystem. This includes a variety of minor "tweaks" that are required to get configure scripts to run properly:

root # cd /path/to/404beast
root # install -d etc bin lib tmp
root # ln -s /tools/lib/ld-musl-aarch64.so.1 lib/ld-musl-aarch64.so.1
root # fchroot . /tools/bin/bash

>>> Entering arm-64bit (cortex-a53 CPU) fchroot...
bash-5.1#

This should now allow for basic configure scripts to run and produce executables.

List of CatPkgs

   Note

Community Contribution Welcome! -- This page needs a list of catpkgs we are building for a prototype stage3 within the fchroot. This should be a minimal set of catpkgs for containerization, so we can exclude debian-sources, filesystem tools, and advanced networking tools like firewall to get started.

This section should contain a list of catpkgs to include in our build within the fchroot. Please see Funtoo talk:Evolved Bootstrap/Activities/Phase 2 for a full list of stage3 packages which is being used to create this more streamlined list:
