debian n32

[yajin zhou]

Hi all,

I am planning to work on the debian N32 work in the next few months. Currently I have a gdium notebook and have installed debian sid on it. However, I do not know how to build this n32/mips3 debian system. My understanding is that first of all I need to build the packages of debian base system using N32 ABI. My questions are:
(1) How can I know which packages belong to this base system?
(2) How to build these base system packages? Are there any useful tools to use to build these packages?
(3) After building these base system packages, how can I install these packages to the new system?

Are there any document about how to build the debian from scratch? Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thanks very much.

The N32 port is of course still experimental.  I played with it a couple years ago and got a base userland functional, however there were some things broken, most notably gdb.

Perhaps you should try and contact this person:

Not that I'm steering you away from Debian, you may also find it useful to look a gentoo as there is a very strait forward path to build N32 there.  Once you have a base userland working, things get a whole lot easier.

Regards,
