[linux-sh:03316] Re: Building a cross compiler for the Dreamcast

Hello from Gregg C Levine
Hmm. What I posted there, was a copy & paste from that newgroup posting.
Evidently I did forget to provide a script of what the script does. Here
comes the actual script:

I think that output clarifies my position. And your right. Packages for
Slackware are indeed tarballs, except the makepkg tool adds a script which
adds it to the records of what's installed on the system. Since your tool
says it can make RPM packages, I can convert those to ny Slackware packages.
What I'd really like is a few pointers suggesting where I should go next.
