cannot build in a clean chroot [SOLVED]

Following building in a clean chroot wiki page but am getting errors I can't rationalize.  Can someone point out the error of my way?  Why all these missing file warnings?

$ mkdir /media/data/archbuild
$ CHROOT=/media/data/archbuild/root
$ sudo mkarchroot $CHROOT base base-devel sudo
    << install completes successfully >>
$ cp /var/abs/core/glibc ./ && cd glibc
$ sudo makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT

Perhaps the news item about devtmpfs has a bearing on your difficulty...

@lilsirecho - I don't think so...

$ uname -r
3.1.7-1-ARCH

Plus, that only applies to udev >= 176.

$ pacman -Si udev
Repository     : core
Name           : udev
Version        : 175-1

Re: cannot build in a clean chroot [SOLVED]

PEBKAC - my flaw was defining CHROOT=/media/data/archbuild/root.  It should be defined as CHROOT=/media/data/archbuild - thanks wonder.

Here is the correct sequence for others interested:

CHROOT=/tmp/WORK/chroot
mkdir $CHROOT
sudo mkarchroot $CHROOT/root base base-devel sudo
cp /var/abs/core/glibc ./ && cd glibc
sudo makechrootpkg -c -r $CHROOT

Re: cannot build in a clean chroot [SOLVED]

you can also use sudo extra-x86_64-build, or whatever architecture you want, the a directory with PKGBUILD.

that will create a chroot in /var/tmp/archbuild if doesn't exist, or upgrade+start compilation, if exists.

you can offcourse recompile against testing using testing-x86_64-build

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.
