If you automate everything you will never learn, you may as well use
Gentoo (or even Winducks). The essence of LFS is to understand by doing.
ALFS (n-, jh-, or whatever) should not be used by newbies - it's ideal
for developers who need to build regularly or on a lot of platforms
though.
Of course, I can't stop you from automating if you want to, but I
really do recommend that you don't. If you want to automate AND
learn then write some little scripts yourself, for instance:
---------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
PROGRAM=libxml2-2.6.22
SDIR=$PWD
TIMEFORMAT="%1R Elapsed Time - $PROGRAM"
if [ -d $PROGRAM ]
then
echo "source directory $PROGRAM already exists - delete it first"
exit 1
fi
{ df
tar -xvf $PROGRAM.tar.?z*
pushd $PROGRAM
time {
./configure --prefix=/usr --with-history &&
make &&
make check &&
make install
}
df
} 2>&1 | tee $SDIR/logs/$PROGRAM.log
popd
