Hi guys,
This request will probably fall under the category "if you deviate, you
get to fix it yourself" but I'm putting it out there anyways.
Standard way of building an LFS system is to use one partition as it
simplifies things for us. This assumption also ends up hard-coded into
the generated Makefile file.
On this system I'm building the root partition simply is not big enough
to compile software. Root partition itself is about 200 MB. Everything
else sits on different partitions. This requires making some changes
because jhalfs build system does not currently have configuration
variables that allows one to specify different locations for /tools and
I think /sources is hard-coded as such as well.
Symlinks in $BUILDDIR fix that, to a point. mkdir calls still fail
because $BUILDDIR/tools already exists.
Not that big of a deal to fix, it becomes a matter of changing mkdir
command and add the -p options to them.
It might be nicer to be able to specify an alternate location for /tools
as well as /sources in cases where a root partition isn't large enough.
Gerard,
Just build it on an arbitrary partition that is large enough and
when done, move the directories from the build partition to the final
location. I've done this and it works quite nicely.
I don't think this type of thing shoul dbe put into jhalfs.
