Easy way to build an environment for building static proot

[fsquillace]

Hi,

I tried to follow the README in order to build a slackware rootfs for x86_64 (taken from http://mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1).

Unfortunately, the last command looks that it did not worked:

# Install all package correcty (ignore warnings): 
ls packages/mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/*/*.t?z | xargs -n 1 proot -S rootfs -b packages/mirrors.slackware.com /sbin/installpkg

I have got the following errors:

Cannot install packages/mirrors.slackware.com/slackware/slackware64-14.1/slackware64/tcl/tix-8.4.3-x86_64-3.txz:  file does not end in .tgz, .tbz, .tlz, or .txz

I am wondering if there is an easier way to produce an environment for compiling a static proot.

I also tried to compile it directly via my linux distro (ArchLinux) but without any success.

Any help?

Thanks

Type this:
export PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
Then try again...
