[Raspbian-mirrors] setup Rapbian on my host -- for cross platform development

[allan George]

Hello Friends,

First of all i am new to it so, please give some time from your side.

I am looking forward to develop application for RPi on my intel host
system. Those applications depends upon some libraries like wxGTK
which uses configure to set up it enviroment. So for that purpose i have
installed Qemu & scratchbox on my host.

Now i need raspbian rootfile system environment on my host. So that using
scratchbox i can install libraries in raspbian rootfile system on my intel
host.
Also with scratch-box installed on my host i can compile application for my
target RPi. Also i have c & c++ crosscompiler prepared using cross-tool-ng.

this is how installed raspbian :-------
sudo debootstrap --verbose --arch armhf --foreign wheezy \
$HOME/sbox2/rootfs/armhf http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/

wget http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian.public.key;apt-key add
raspbian.public.key


I have few questions :----

1> Is it right command to install raspbian on my intel host or i am missing
something ? or i have to use "cross-debootstrapping"
    Actually with above command  rootfile system i am getting do not
contains some packages like c++ libraries .so & also no apt-get is there
etc.

2> When i download raspbian as mentioned above, what i found is it do not
contains apt-get in bin, now how to install apt-get inside this raspbian
rootfile system i just downloaded.

3> Does the raspbian image  http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian/  contains
all the packages installed well in advance ?
     Or there is a problem with the procedure(i mentioned above) with which
i downloaded image ?

4> Did anyone successfully used raspbian on there host to compile for
target. Please suggest the procedure you are using ?


Any reply will be appreciable from your end.

Regards,

//Allan
