I thought of this, but kind of leaned to just using one set of instructions to fit the BLFS past method of producing a book that matched a specific version of LFS. Though I'm glad you mentioned it so that others may comment as well. It wouldn't be difficult to programatically figure out what gcc someone is using and act according for packages that need a patch or some other different set of instructions, however, I'm just not sure BLFS is ready to support multiple sets of instructions (poor phrasing in that it is not really multiple sets of instructions, but you know what I mean) depending on what version of something the reader may have on his system. This would open up a huge precedent to begin support of multiple LFS' or what-not. Bruce has already mentioned that Cross-BLFS is not something likely to happen, and though this isn't the same as Cross-BLFS, it is supporting multiple platforms. Bottom line is I was leaning to keeping the instructions to fit one specific version of LFS. Not sure how this thought planning comes into play if/when LFS is ever a fully cross-platform build. Gotta cross that bridge when we come to it. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 17:16:01 up 121 days, 16:49, 2 users, load average: 0.91, 1.00, 0.71 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
