Since the completed experimental system has space and will be going nowhere, I thought I might as well finish this off. I'd done some testing in chroot after making that reply, but I later unmounted that to do my explorations for how perl ought to be configured (IMHO). I recall that some package failed, probably in chroot, with a message that it needed autoconfig.ac but had only autoconfig.in. But I've lost the note I made (modern vim makes it easy to lose an edit from a different machine if you are working on nfs) and on the face of it everything left passes autoreconf: cifsutils - installed (without smb kernel support), but only smbinfo seems to have been installed and it doesn't seem to work, probably because I lack the kernel support. libnsl - installed ok exempt - autoreconf is for tests, test and install were ok libgrss - DESTDIR ok clutter - autoreconf (for failing tests) is commented cogl - DESTDIR ok tigervnc - installed ok tripwire - built, but DESTDIR not respected, real install with dummy passphrases ok volume_key - autoreconf was ok, I lack some dependencies to get through configure on this system libunique - DESTDIR ok So for the almost-nothing that it is worth, I think we could update but I accept that we won't. ĸen > -- > Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to > say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. > -- Unseen Academicals > -- > http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev > FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html > Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- Juliet's version of cleanliness was next to godliness, which was to say it was erratic, past all understanding and was seldom seen. -- Unseen Academicals -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
