Creating PET Packages for Puppy Linux

It's pretty simple, just the usual configure, make, make install process, but with a couple twists, you can make the package work on older processors and still perform well on new ones:

  • Untar the source
  • cd into the extracted directory
  • do ./configure --host=i486-pc-linux-gnu
  • do make CFLAGS="-march=i486 -mtune=i686"
  • do new2dir make install; follow directions
  • exit and cd up one directory; clean up the directory as needed
  • do dir2pet; follow directions
That's all it should take.
