I pulled latest svn and now don't pass the "does it build" test :-(. svn now at 1062 I nuked the build and distro directories cd trunk make linux zlib1gudev Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done E: Couldn't find package zlib1gudev apt download failed. Exit value: 100 make[2]: *** [../../../build/rootfs/emdebianrootstrap.tgz] Error 100 make[2]: Leaving directory `/opt/balloon/trunk/rootfs/emdebian' make[1]: *** [all] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/balloon/trunk/rootfs' make: *** [all] Error 1 charles@qcore:/opt/balloon/trunk$ What is that zlib1gudev? The only packages I can find via Google is linuxzlib1g-dev. See more in attached... Thanks Charles
