Hello all.

As the title says.

I spent the past hour building a Xenial Pooch 32-bit with the woof-CE.

It sort of aborted close to the end, during the last stretch.

There is no *.iso file in sight.

Please find attached the complete list of files in directory
woof-out_x86_x86_ubuntu_xenial

A number of questions:
1) According to your expertise, have all files been built? (I have that impression.)

2) If so, which sub-directories of the above do I put where in a directory
called "Xenial-Pooch-build" to be compacted with mksquashfs

3) Once that is created, what goes where in directory
iso-build (the directory mkisofs will take its files from to create the iso).

Thanks in advance.

~~~~~~~~~~

Again, please no novels, no novelettes, no sermons, not even explanations, no
void comments, and most of all no interpretations. Just the straight goods.

The rage I'm in because the woof-CE process has failed me again doesn't need
any more fuel than it already has. I hope you understand that. I love Puppy, but it
seems the love is not mutual.

So please give only the straight goods, straight problem-solving in simple words
based on the attached list of files.

I'll be most grateful if you help me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That list is split in two parts because of forum restrictions. Please use the attached
script to reassemble the zip.

Again, many thanks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Did the puppy .sfs mksquashfs build finish correctly? It's contents are in:
woof-out_x86_x86_***/sandbox3/rootfs-complete

The build should be in:

woof-out_x86_x86_***/sandbox3/build

The command to make the iso run from a terminal in sandbox3 is:

mkisofs -D -R -o ***.iso -b isolinux.bin -c boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ./build/

The xenial option in woofce is still a work in progress and will be updated when I release the next iso

I know the present recipe fails if you try to build a uefi iso..

I'll be updating xenials build recipe soon which will fix the problem above

Try running 3builddistro-z in a terminal

Hi @musher0

I suspect that your distro name change to Xenial Pooch has resulted in woof-ce being unable to locate the repositories.....

You have to get DISTRO_SPECS
DISTRO_COMPAT_REPOS-***
DISTRO_PET_REPOS

all consistent and all pointing at repositories that exist.....and contain the items specified in
DISTRO_PKGS_SPECS-***
Packages-***-official
etc

Building a distro requires a puppy? Why can't I do it in Ubuntu or unstable debian? I have tried over and over again and failed every time.
