Tutorial 6 - Build Arch's Lua package

Introduction

• Let's try to build Arch's Lua package.

Commands

$  ./vland  --create  arch
$  ./vland  --arch_sdk  arch
$  ./vland  arch  -nr  --  TODO_install_deps
$  ./vland  arch  -n   --  TODO_build_package

Commentary

• Line 1 is optional if you have already created the arch userland.
• Line 2 configures the arch userland for building packages.
• Line 3 installs necessary dependencies.
• Line 4 builds the lua package.

Tutorial 8 - create a static build of aria2c

Introduction

• For certain downloads, vland uses the aria2c download utility.
• If aria2c is not installed on the host system, vland will download a static bulid of aria2c.
• Tutorial 11 shows how I use vland to create a static build of aria2c.

Commands

$  wget     TODO
$  /bin/sh  aria2c-static.sh  --run
$  ls  -lh

Commentary

• Line 1 downloads my aria2c-static.sh script.
• Line 2 runs my aria2c-static.sh script. This script:
  • installs vland
  • installs a Void Linux userland
  • builds custom versions of key libraries
  • builds a static build of aria2c

• vland itself creates and configures guest userlands.
• However, to actually execute a program inside a guest userland, vland uses a separate tool called Lxroot.
• You may learn about Lxroot by reading the Lxroot tutorial.
