Ouch. When I replied to Wayne I checked my own script, it didn't occur to me that I could have written that bogus pair of instructions like for a cmake package. I had a vague memory of some pre-existing directory (probably 'bootstrap', in fact). I still can't work out where that came from - normally if I have to create a new page I start by copying one which is similar. This time, for each of the three new pages I copied the template and then I thought I copied the commands from my script. > ./configure --prefix=/usr \ > > > This clearly must be wrong, as configure can't possibly reside in the newly > created and entered build directory, but rather one level below. > > I am just building rust and changed ./configure to ../configure accordingly. > > > Cheers > Tim > Hope that works. At least nothing in the book except cargo needs it until later this week when ff53 is due. Fixed at r18608, my thanks to you and belated thanks to Wayne. If it doesn't piss you off after your help, I could quibble that '../' is one level above, not below. But '/' is the root of the directory tree so I suppose it is good English to speak of it growing up - I'm just interested that we see above / below differently. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
