Still floundering, trying to work out how to generate the Makefile
for BLFS.
I've used my own scripts for LFS, followed by libtasn1, p11-kit, make-ca,
wget, ca-certs, sgml-common, OpenSP, openjade, unzip, docbook31,
docbook45, dsssl, SGMLSpm, docbook-utils, libxml2, docbook-xml,
libxslt, sudo, creation of /etc/sudoers, sqlite, apr, apr-util,
scons, serf, subversion.
Tnen I entered chroot via an xfce-term and ran (ignoring the many
false steps):
su - lfs
svn co svn://svn.linuxfromscratch.org/ALFS/jhalfs/trunk jhalfs-svn
(I figured that having jhalfs/jhalfs as the directory would confuse
me, my user for this is called jhalfs)
cd jhalfs-svn
sudo mkdir /var/lib/jhalfs
sudo chown -R jhalfs:jhalfs /var/lib/jhalfs
./install-blfs-tools.sh
That successfully downloaded BLFS r23951
I then adjusted BLFS/envars.conf to do what I thought was needed.
Looking at the BLFS Makefile, I had the impression that just running
'make' should be enough to create something I could look at to see
what could be run, and what might need adjustment before I tried to
build something simple ('which' seems a pretty simple first package)
and see what happened. But that appears to be the wrong command, or
else run from the wrong place.
First, it appeared to again download BLFS r23951, but then it failed
with lots of messages all saying:
warning: failed to load external entity
"/home/jhalfs/jhalfs-svn/BLFS/xsl/tracking-dir/instpkg.xml"
and then at the end:
python3: can't open file '/home/jhalfs/jhalfs-svn/BLFS/menu/menuconfig.py':
[Errno 2] No such file or directory
The menuconfig.py file is in ...jhalfs-svn/menu/menuconfig.py so I
assume that I should NOT be running 'make' in BLFS/.
Is there an idiot's guide to using jhalfs for BLFS, pretty please ?
