Make Emulated Root Enviroment
First we want to make an emulated root environment to do all of our work in [1]. We need to get debootstrap and qemu-user-static to do this.
This will take a long time as we are building a new root filesystem of archetecture armhf in /chroots/sid-armhf. You may have noticed sid in a few places. This is debians unstable distribution. You could replace it with any other release found in:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/
Next we need to change our apparent root directory and mount the proc directory:
Create a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to prevent daemons from starting up inside the chroot:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/
Next we need to change our apparent root directory and mount the proc directory:
Create a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d to prevent daemons from starting up inside the chroot:
And change the permissions to 775:
Finally modify the /etc/apt/sources.lst file to a proper repository for the root:
Then update and install the archive-keyring followed by another update of apt:
To reduce error messages about locales you may wish to install the locales package in the emulated root environment:
And then configure it selecting (assuming you are using US English):
en_US.ISO-8859-1
en_US.ISO-8859-15
en_US.UTF-8
I chose to use UTF-8 as the default locale.
Making a .deb from a Qt Project
This next portion focuses on creating a .deb file from a Qt project, following the steps outlined in [3] is recommended for a better understanding.
I have built a sample project to package which can be found here:
https://bitbucket.org/ablaylock/qtdebianpackage.git
Clone the repo into helloworld-0.0.1 (do this somewhere smart like /home/username):
Next we need to install the proper packages for building the Qt project and .deb files:
Now we are ready to rock. To build the package (without source, if you want source follow the steps in [3]) run the dist_gen.sh script.
