Maybe that should be mentioned in a most prominent way in README.BLFS.
That would catch the "first timers" yes!
I got that to build O.K. but after that point I can't get back to the
initial menu to select any more packages. I run make and it tells me
there is nothing to do for /blfs_root!
Uh :-?
Is at this moment your /blfs_root/Makefile identical to the
jhalfs/BLFS/Makefile one?
I suspect that you has run ./gen_makefile.sh from inside ./blfs_root instead
running ../gen_makefile.sh from inside /blfs_root/<package>/.
You obviously know this code very well :-). Yes, that's exactly what I
did before carefully re-reading the README.BLFS and finding that I must
run in from inside the package dir.
We need to add a check to prevent that to happen :-/
To stop people like me who don't read the docs ;-)!
What is the best way to fix this? can I just copy a clean Makefile from
over from the original download?
The way I am trying to do it (probably completely wrong) takes longer
and is more convoluted than using my own simple list of packages - that
I have built up over the years and are in some sort of correct order -
and simply C&P the book's commands.
Having pre-made cunstomized scripts and a lot of experience building BLFS
packages the way how blfs-tool works may seems hard at first glance (and is
hard if your first target is a package with a lot of dependencies).
But honestly I can't think on other way to automatize the build resolving
dependencies and allowing users to desviate from the default BLFS book
commands.
My guess is I have misunderstood the way this is supposed to work and am
just being stupid!
Or maybe README.BLFS need more in deeper information.
I think you are right here, but that will only come from people like me
trying it and finding things that are unclear. I know it is very hard to
catch these things when you are so close to it. It seems obvious to you...
