[SOLVED] mkinitrd - missing tempfile
by czezz from LinuxQuestions.org on (#52PMC)
Hi,
This is follow up of my other thread: slackware minimal on Slackware 14.2.
This time I want to extend it by initrd.
I added following packages:
Code:mkinitrd-1.4.8-x86_64-8.txz
tar-1.29-x86_64-1.txz
gzip-1.8-x86_64-1.txz
cpio-2.12-x86_64-1.txzWhen I execute mkinitrd I get error in line 209 regarding missing tempfile
Code:/sbin/mkinitrd: line 209: tempfile: command not foundBy looking at line 209 in /sbin/mkinitrd I can see it is trying to use non-existing variable $(tempfile --prefix ldd-) to build: PRFX=$(tempfile --prefix ldd-)
For test, I have added PRFX=tmpx and that eventually successfully built initrd.gz
Without PRFX it goes endlessly like in the following output.
My question here is why "tempfile" is not defined or rather what am I missing...
This is odd a bit.
