I want to share a few notes on issues I encountered with Chapter 24 over the weekend. I am building from a LFS-7.9 systemd system. 1) Before installing Mesa-11.2.1 I installed the recommended dependencies. I had issues using parallel processing with LLVM with Clang. I had to use make -j1. I'm not saying this is an issue with the book, but I wanted to mention it.
2a) Before installing Xorg-Server-1.8.3 I installed the recommended dependencies. This led me to reinstalling Systemd-229, which in turn led me to first installing Linux-PAM-1.2.1 and reinstalling Shadow-4.2.1. When I got to the point in Shadow to test by logging in as a user and su to root I had an issue. I got the message "System is booting up. See pam_nologin(8)" when I tried to login. I needed to delete /run/nologin before I could login as a user and pass the test. (I think that is the correct path, I'm going from memory). 2b) The download link for the Xorg-Server-1.18.3 patch and the install instructions don't refer to the same file. 3) I didn't get a 10-evdev.conf file in my /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ directory, which caused my keyboard not to work on my laptop when testing the Xorg installation with startx. I copied one I had from a previous installation and that fixed it. Most of these may just be issues with my system (or perhaps I skipped something by accident) and not the book, but I wanted to pass along the information.
