Debian-Installer: Build yourself

HOWTO

Here are the steps to build debian-installer and download required ["udeb"]s:

you@host:/usr/src/debian-installer/installer
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
dpkg-checkbuilddeps: Unmet build dependencies: grep-dctrl debiandoc-sgml glibc-pic libparted1.6-13 libslang2-pic libnewt-pic libdiscover1-pic libbogl-dev genext2fs (>= 1.3-7.1) mklibs (>= 0.1.15) mkisofs dosfstools syslinux (>= 2.11-0.1) tofrodos bf-utf-source upx-ucl-beta (>= 1:1.91+0.20030910cvs-2)

which means you have to install more build dependency packages. E.g. do

  apt-get install grep-dctrl debiandoc-sgml \
   syslinux mklibs genext2fs

repeat the builddeps check until you get

you@host:/usr/src/debian-installer/installer
$ dpkg-checkbuilddeps
you@host:/usr/src/debian-installer/installer
