My hint is attached, tested with LFS development version SVN 20090306.
DESCRIPTION:
Pacman is the advanced package manager used in distros such as Arch Linux,
Chakra, and Frugalware. It is extremely handy for LFS builders due to its
pkgbuild system, which automates compiling and package creation. To use
pacman with LFS, pacman needs to be ready before part three. This hint
explains what dependencies are necessary and how to compile them, as well as
how to continue with the LFS build process, creating pacman packages along
the way.
Thanks,

SYNOPSIS: Using the Pacman Package Manager to manage the LFS build.
DESCRIPTION:
Pacman is the advanced package manager used in distros such as Arch Linux,
Chakra, and Frugalware. It is extremely handy for LFS builders due to its
pkgbuild system, which automates compiling and package creation. To use pacman
with LFS, pacman needs to be ready before part three. This hint explains what
dependencies are necessary and how to compile them, as well as how to continue
with the LFS build process, creating pacman packages along the way.
This hint has been tested with LFS development version SVN-20090306.

PREREQUISITES:
You need to have built an LFS system up to part III before this hint is
applicable. If you have already started part III, this hint will also not work.
HINT:
To build Pacman, these additional dependencies are required:
* attr ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/cmd_tars/attr_2.4.43-1.tar.gz
* bzip2 http://www.bzip.org/1.0.5/bzip2-1.0.5.tar.gz
* zlib http://www.zlib.net/zlib-1.2.3.tar.bz2
* libarchive

* libdownload http://black-flag.co.uk/files/lfs/libdownload-1.3.tar.gz
* openssl http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8g.tar.gz
and

* fakeroot
http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/fakeroot/fakeroot_1.11.tar.gz
* And yes, pacman itself
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/other/pacman/pacman-3.2.2.tar.gz
We will install these to the /tools/ directory.

* Continuing with LFS part III
Now, when you compile each package in part III, you will want to write a
PKGBUILD script.
Here is how you would make a PKGBUILD for the linux headers:
pkgname=linuxheaders
pkgver=2.6.28.7
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Linux API Headers expose the kernel's API for use by Glibc."
arch=(`uname -m`)
url="http://www.kernel.org/";
license=('GPL')
groups=('base')
source=(http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-$pkgver.tar.bz2)
md5sums=()
build() {
cd $srcdir/linux-$pkgver
make mrproper
make headers_check
make INSTALL_HDR_PATH=dest headers_install
mkdir -p $pkgdir/usr/
cp dest/include $pkgdir/usr/ -r
}
* For Glibc
pkgname=glibc
pkgver=2.9
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="The Glibc package contains the main C library. This library provides
the basic routines for allocating memory, searching directories, opening and
closing files, reading and writing files, string handling, pattern matching,
arithmetic, and so on."
arch=(`uname -m`)
url="http://www.gnu.org/";
license=('GPL')
groups=('base')
depends=(linuxheaders)
install=$pkgname.install
source=(glibc-build.tar.bz2)
md5sums=()
build() {
cd $srcdir/glibc-build
make install_root='$pkgdir/' install || return 1
}
* For Zlib
pkgname=zlib
pkgver=1.2.3
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A compression/decompression Library"
arch=(`uname -m`)
license=('custom:zlib')
url="http://www.zlib.net/";
groups=('base')
depends=('glibc')
source=("http://zlib.net/${pkgname}-${pkgver}.tar.bz2";)
md5sums=()
build() {
cd ${srcdir}/$pkgname-$pkgver
./configure --prefix=/usr --shared
make || return 1
make install DESTDIR=${pkgdir} || return 1
chmod 644 ${pkgdir}/usr/lib/libz.a
grep -A 24 '^ Copyright' zlib.h > license.txt
install -D license.txt ${pkgdir}/usr/share/licenses/zlib/license.txt
}
Normally in the build() section:
Keep the prefix the same (usually --prefix=/usr when configuring). But on the
"make install" command, add "DESTDIR=${pkgdir}". Notice that this is not the
case for the kernel headers or glibc, but this is the normal way to set it up
for most packages.
To make this package, save the PKGBUILD file as PKGBUILD. Make sure you have
the sources in the directory, and execute "makepkg -g --asroot" to obtain
md5sum files. Once you've edited the PKGBUILD file to include the md5sums
necessary, make the package with "makepkg --asroot". To make sure everything
installed correctly in the package directory, you might try extracting the
package (warning: do not extract in the root filesystem). Finally, install with
"pacman -U /path/to/package.pkg.tar.gz".
It is advisable to make a pacman package for each package built in part III. It
is also good practice to save all of your PKGBUILD files for later reference.
