0xbadfca11 / miniwsl Goto Github PK

Why?

In miniwsl I noticed, it comes with both dpkg and rpm. I tried them both and got the following errors:

For dpkg:
dpkg: can't open '/var/lib/dpkg/status': No such file or directory
So, I took the /var/lib/dpkg/ directory from an ubuntu wsl and merged it with miniwsl, but still got the same error.

For rpm:
rpm: can't move './usr/bin/animate;b' to './usr/bin/animate': Function not implemented

After failing to installing the package, I manually placed the libraries and binaries at the correct location in rootfs, and tried to run the binary program, but I got:
-sh: convert: Permission denied
which is weird since, I am running miniwsl as the root user.

I know, from your reply of a previous issue, that this project was just for your learning purposes, but could you please help me out here? Atleast, in running the binary program, please?

So in its current state, miniwsl is basically linux-from-scratch without gcc, if gcc could be added it would greatly improve the viability of miniwsl

I am using wsl 1.
