Hi Ingo;
Thank you for that. My experience with the Haiku build system(s) is
quite light so excuse my more general lack of knowledge about this area.
I presume that I need a build system to make this work -- I downloaded
a nightly and cloned the Haiku repository onto it. Then I issued the
"configure" at the top level of the Haiku source; yielding
Build tool "gcc" not found.
...but GCC is present of course. It seems strange.
I thought I'd then try to track-down where it is getting the repository
data from; I think it is getting the packages from here;
/build/jam/repositories/HaikuPorts/x86
I am seeing the packages in that file that have appeared in my sample
hpkr file already. I obtained my test file from;
http://haiku-files.org/files/repo/...<snip>.../repo
However if I look at the "Haiku Ports" web site...
http://bb.haikuports.org/haikuports/src
...I see lots of packages that are not included in that HPKR file and I
guess that's what I am looking for. In essence, a "different" sample
test HPKR file to work with. Is this process going to yield me the same
HPKR that I already have?
cheers.

I wonder; is there a repository somewhere for the HaikuPorts setup yet
or can I get a pre-fabricated HPKR for that?
The setup for the HaikuPorts package repository is rather ad hoc (will
change once we migrate to haiku-os.org). There's simple script,
build_repo.sh, that builds the repository file and sets up the
respective directory. Arguments are the architecture and a package list
file.
The package list file can be generated by the Haiku build system (for
the configured architecture) via:
jam -q '<repository-package-list>HaikuPorts-packages'
build_repo.sh uses a script package_repo.sh (a convenience wrapper for
the package_repo build tool) and the file repo.info.template, a template
for the HaikuPorts repository info.
Attaching the files.
CU, Ingo
