Not how much of a base there is for Ubuntu as a host, but some caveats encountered running jhalfs from a vanilla Ubuntu 13.10 VM:
the xmllint error does not is not helpful: "xmllint" must be installed on your system for jhalfs to run The correct package that contains xmllint for Ubuntu is libxml2-utils. We can't just install xmllint through apt-get. This one is BLFS specific: Error: you need docbook for installing BLFS tools Also not helpful as installing 'docbook' does not satisfy jhalfs. We need docbook-xml. On a side note, regarding BLFS, I cannot get jhalfs to run when BLFS tool support is selected (for the initial lfs build). However, if I build a base LFS system, then go back and rerun jhalfs and tick BLFS I can get it to work. I thought the idea was to be able to configure it on the first go, or am I mistaken. If it's known to be broken. I'd be happy to take a stab at fixing it. (or at least letting jhalfs complete without complaining about BLFS missing scripts. It's supposed to be missing scripts, the BLFS book is not downloaded until after the base system build.) -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/alfs-discuss FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
